My wife and I are having a disagreement. We have a 12 foot diameter, 2.5 feet deep above ground pool with a blue solar cover. I think it will make the water warmer to run the pump during the warmest part of the day. My theory is that by circulating cooler water up to the top it will do a better job of warming up the entire pool. Once the top layer of water gets warm the sunlight hitting it will be less effective and that warm top part will radiate off more heat and the wind will do a better job of cooling it off if the top is warm. My wife feels we should run the pump in the evening or at night so the water can be still during the hottest part of the day and get nice and warm at the top. It's hard to convince her otherwise since the water certainly feels warmer her way. So I'd love to hear some opinions one way or the other. Thanks.
