What about heaters?Everyone should have a solar cover. It’s inexpensive, easy to use, and it will pick you up four to eight additional weeks of swimming – that depends on how you use the pool. It conserves water by preventing evaporation. Liquid "solar covers" only work half as well as real solar covers—but they work 1000 times better than a real solar cover that's in your garage because you don't feel like putting it on Gas heaters are now available for around $1000. That may seem to be a lot of money for a small above ground pool that normally heats up pretty quickly anyway. An excellent alternative for a smaller pool is an active solar heater that works off your existing filter. They’re around $500 to $1000, and the heat’s free! Gas is faster, solar is very slow, particularly if it’s cloudy. Heat pumps have a great story, but note that they don’t work when it’s cold out. So they’ll help keep warm water warm, but they’re not a lot of help in extending your season.
