How to heat an above ground swimming pool cheap.?
The cost of a heater is prohibitive for the 4 to 5 months of usage. How can I cheaply get the water warm faster in the spring and keep it warmer in approaching fall.

Buy a solar cover
This is something I saw years ago. Man built a pan on his shed roof of sheetmetal with turned up edges. He ran black plastic pipe in the pan and poured asphalt over the pipe. Hooked it to his pool pump and had a solar heater for his pool.
Now his was about 12' by 8' and the pipe covered the entire bottom of the pan. His pipe was probably about 100' if I were to guess.
I have seen Archie;s suggestion in action and it does work. I know someone who covered wood panels with foil and atached coiled black pipe to the panels and connected them to the pool pump. Made his own solar water heater.
