Yes, the surface color of a pool will affect the water temperature to a small degree. More important to water temperature is your geographic location, the season, existing water temperature, minimum and maximum daily air temperature, number of hours of sun the pool gets each day, cloud cover, wind speed, and the number of hours and times of day that you use a pool cover. Hope this helps ...

Does paint color affect the temperature of a pool?
Yes, it does.
How do you make heat in a pool with the sun?
Hi there,A few ways:solar heater - solar panels either on the ground or a roof with water from the pool being pumped through themsolar pool cover - a cover directly on the pool surface which helps trap heat from the sun and also prevents evaporation (biggest cause of heat loss)chemical "blanket" - a commercially available product which creates a thin layer on the surface of your pool to help trap heat and reduce evaporation - last about 30 dayssolar rings - these float on the pool surface and join together with magnets to form a kind of pool cover to heat water and slow evaporation.ALWAYS try to use a pool cover first as evaporation causes about 80% of pool heat loss.
Does the color of your pool liner determine the heat of your pool?
Not really it may have some effect but it would be very little.
Sweep a new pool surface?
What about "sweep a new pool surface"?
To cut down on heating costs will an inground vinyl liner pool with a dark-colored vinyl liner be noticeably warmer than one with a light-colored liner?
A black bottom pool will be slightly easier to heat than a white bottom pool, but the difference will be very, very small. Yes, some very small amount of extra energy will be absorbed by the black color and absorbed into the water that would otherwise be reflected by the white color pool, but this small amount of heat is dwarfed by the large amounts of heat that are lost or absorbed by the water due to air temperature, wind speed, evaporation, cover, heating method, etc. Most people choose their pool color based on design and/or looks and then get a good pool solar cover to help keep it warm (regardless of the color).
How can you measure heat losses in the swimming pool by exact formulation?
First of all, you need to measure and calculate the volume of water in your pool, average daily temperature of the water, and also the surface area. Once you have accurate data, the heat loss is a simple calculation.
How do different color liners affect blueness of pool water?
The pool water draws its color from the liner. If you buy a white liner, then the pool water will not be blue. If you use a light blue liner, then the pool will be light blue. In my opinion, the best liner is a darker blue liner with ripples on it. Your pool will look gorgeous and inviting and the ripple effect makes it difficult to see any dirt in your pool. A solid color liner lets you see everything, which isn't always pretty.
What colour tiles to use to make pool water look green?
Try green or yellow-green. Water is colorless, so any color tiles you have in your pool will make the water appear to be the same color from above. Reflections also influence the color, depending on how you view the water's surface.
Will a dark painted pool retain more heat than a light colored one and cause the water temperature to be higher?
A pool painted in a dark color will ABSORB more heat than a pool with a light colored paint. Thus, the water temperature will be slightly higher. However, the paint color is a secondary factor in determining the ultimate water temperature. Factors such as air temperature, ground temperature, and solar intensity will affect the water temperature more than the paint color. Other secondary factors include wind speed and humidity (which affects the evaporation rate). Thus, it is very difficult to predict how much higher the water temperature would be for a dark colored pool as compared to a light colored pool due to the many variables involved. If I had to guess, I would say that you might get an average boost of something like 1-3 deg F with a dark painted pool - possibly a little more than that in the middle of the summer. In regards to RETAINING the heat that was absorbed, the color of the pool is nearly irrelevant. The most important factor in this case is the difference between the air and water temperatures - the greater the difference, the more heat will dissipate into the air. The best way to RETAIN heat in your pool is to use a solar blanket to keep the heat that is already there from transferring (radiating) into the air. Especially at night when the air/water temperature difference is greatest. Hope this helps ...
Does an idle pool or a pool with a pump running evaporate quicker?
A boiling pot of water will boil faster if you stir it. I would expect it creates more surface area for heat exchange to occur, resulting evaporation. A pool should act the same.
Can you heat a pool with a powerwasher burner?
Hardly, you would loose more heat thru evaporation and thru the water surface during the evening hours. Even if the burner was to run 24/7.
Will a neighbors dirty pool affect your pool?
In a word - NO.
