Time required to heat a 30000 gallon pool with a solar blanket cover?

We have a 36,000 gal pool with a clear solar cover/blanket. The color/thicknes/ect.. really makes little difference as we have had every type. If you keep your pool covered day and NIGHT you can expect to gain about 3-4 degrees per day if the ambient temperature during the day is above 75% and it is mostly sunny or better. The real gain from the solar cover comes at night by eliminating evaporation. As we all learned in science class the process of evaporation cools. Hence your dog pants to evaporate the saliva off from his toung and cooling himself. His own little air conditioner! This is why many vendors call it a blanket versus a cover as it insulates the pool during the night.
One other thing that will help is to have your pump set to come on during the warm part of morning usually 9-10 AM and go off when the day cools off around 9 pm. Cover the pool up as soon as you are done using it. This varies by your climate but running the pump during the day keeps the water circulating and distributing heat through the pool. It has the exact same effect at night but it circulates the water up by the cover where the water is cooler. Once your pool is up to temperature (we like 80%) be carefull if you leave for the weekend. We have made this mistake only to come home to find our pool at 86%. At this temperature you can have algee blooms overnight. If it happens it would be a good time to shock the pool
One last disclaimer we live in Michigan, not in Arizona where this advice would never apply. Hope this helps.

Should you leave the vinyl pool cover on when using a solar blanket or does the pool cover above the solar blanket hinder the solar blanket's performance?
Remove the vinyl cover when using a solar blanket to warm the water. If the vinyl cover is used at the same time as the solar blanket, the vinyl cover absorbs most of the heat and then transfers the heat into the air or water between the vinyl cover and the solar blanket. Then the heat transfers to the solar blanket and then, finally, into the water. When this happens, a lot of heat remains in the vinyl cover and air/water between the two covers instead of getting into the water. It is preferable to have the heat absorbed by the solar cover and then transfer directly into the water. Hope this helps... Too much redundancy in pool covers.
