I have to top it up every day. Heater is off, pool is 86. My rain barrel I use for topping up is still bone dry. No complaints though, good year to own a pool with this heat and covid shite.
I think mid 80’s is the sweet spot for me, if I need it hotter I could jump in the hot tub. I’ve trimmed down some branches that were blocking some sunlight, but have kept the deep end shaded. Works well right now.

My rain barrel will be empty in a few days, I've been neglecting watering because of other house stuff. But I have been thinking to add 2 more to be better prepared for weather like this.
I do laps in mine. 45 laps is about 1/2km - beats any other type of workout in this heat.
I'm lucky to have a catch basin in my yard, it's about 8' below grade and has never run dry. I have a small pump dropped down there -- fills my rain barrels, and fills a drip line for the back yard gardens.

I had to turn down the setting on our solar controller as the pool was going past "refreshing" into hot tub territory. I've also been leaving the cover off the last few nights and will probably continue to do so for the foreseeable future with the exception of maybe Tuesday - supposed to be warm, but cloudy.

My wife likes it around 31-32C...whatever that is in 'Murican. Normally I'm happy with 28-30 range. With the solar it'll maintain that given sunny days even with cooler weather.
Weather is reminding me the Summer of 1988, my first in Canada. Very little rain, although it's not as humid as 88. No water restrictions yet, and the grass still has more to go before it turns brown. My commute now i am staying off the DVP and 401, Kingston road is noticeably cooler.
