Install a solar pool cover
Solar pool covers minimize water evaporation and significantly reduce heat loss, while capturing significant heat from sunshine. Pools with solar covers will both raise the temperature of the pool themselves (often by tens of degrees), and retain the energy of any pool heater in use (thereby saving on any associated heating costs).
