Costs $100 (plus the $200 for the reel to wind it up) and lasts about 2 years. Got the pool up to 95 degrees the past few summers. @Michael, I use a solar cover to warm my pool.

I thought you may be interested in a way to save some money on heating that great pool. I work with Low Cost Power, and they can save you as much as $250 on your current <a href="http://www.lowcostpower.com" rel="nofollow">energy cost</a>. It's worked wonders for my energy expenses.

An unfortunate situation there, but having a safe pool will give you a lot more peace of mind over the next few years. Another moral of this story: Don't forget the small things around a house (like a $100 paint job), because they can add much more value than big jobs. I liken this to people spending thousands of dollars inside the house, but forgetting to get a $25 mowing job done before they sell a house. Great story and the pictures really add to it.
