What's your current pool temp?

[Waffen06]

80 today, warmest I seem to be able to get it with the solar cover. Anyone else up north get theirs warmer without a heater? If so how??

Our pool got up to 93 today here in Georgia. Full sun from morning until 6 pm.

84 on a rainy 74 deg day.

been bouncing between lows of 88-89 in the morning and highs of 93-95 in the mid afternoon, solar shuts off when it hits 93. Lots of

90 without a heater in northern Colorado. 10 days ahead of 90+ and sunny days, hoping it gets warmer still somehow.

92 water temp here in Georgia

78 this fine morning in NW GA. I expect it to reach 88 this afternoon.

Was 88 yesterday at 8PM, down to 84 this morning (with the cover on, heat pump not running).

93 in my corner of GA.? Need to figure out some cooling for the next 3 months!

 

[TammyGriffin]

Yeah anybody know how to cool a pool down? Lol

Was 91 Monday. Popped the Glacier Chiller on, by Wed it was 83 (in afternoon). Nothing beats a Chiller in HOUSTON!! No bath tub swimming for me!

 

[TammyGriffin]

Never heard of a glacier chiller. Will check that out. Thanks

We may need a chiller here in Spring, Tx.

Currently sitting at 91 degrees.

You need a fountain to cause evaporation to take heat out of your water. Inverse concept to a solar cover preventing evaporation to retain heat. I used a 2" PVC pipe hooked up to my return threads and drilled a bunch of holes to spray into the pool. It only cost me about $15 and 30 min of time to build to get my pool cooling off by 8-10 degrees in the middle of summer. You will obviously have to add water more frequently. Run your solar heater at night if you have one but a fountain is a cheap solution.

Thanks I'm sure my husband can make one. He already has the pvc stuff left over from changing out our filter

Brand new pool all setup Wednesday. Water was 61 degrees. Had pump and heater running for 48 hours and we are at 85 degrees with a Hayward 140k heat pump. It's awesome !!

Here is my "design". Not the greatest looking but it does the job and my wife says she likes the tranquil noise of the fountain. I drilled smaller holes pointing down to help it still skim but I will have to say the pool does not skim as well with the fountain in versus the normal return jet.

 

[TammyGriffin]

Great. That's awesome. Thanks

I’m told by a friend that he is able to keep his at 86 +/- by only running the pump overnight. I’m currently running 24/7 and temp will swing from 86 in the morning to 91 late in the day.

Went for my morning swim this am. I noticed that it is just not as "refreshing" as I would like it to be now. With our ambient air temps consistently in the 100+"teens" now and not cooling off so much at night, water temp is not as nice as I would like it.
This morning, this was the pool temp. Water temp will be closer to 90 degrees by late afternoon.
