Solar cover on. My pool has reached 30 degrees C lately and is wonderful at midnight. Cover also stops evaporation and cooling overnight.

It does if you have the right one. We originally had the 8-mil standard blue one with bubbles on the bottom. It kept the junk out of the pool and insulated the water from the cool night air, but that's about it. The new one is a 12-mil which is blue on the top and silver bubbles on the bottom.
We originally heated to 87 for a pool party 2 weeks ago and it hasn't went below 84 degrees. During the day the new cover warms the water and keeps the heat in over night. The trick is making sure you cover it every night religously to keep in the heat in it collected in the first place. Skip covering it on a cold night and you may lose 5-7 degress in pool temperature.
Unlike previous years, I've ran my heater less than 12 hours the year so far, due to the solar cover.

On. The solar cover magnifies the heat of the sun. The pump will circulate the warmer water to the bottom of the pool. The cover also saves chlorine since it cannot evaporate into the atmosphere.

OFF, because the solar cover only will get the top. If you have the solar cover on the bottom of the pool will be really cold. So i you take it off it will get the bottom also.

With it on because the air bubbles in the cover warms up with the sun plus the plastic magnifies the suns heat warming the pool faster.
