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??
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.Yeah anybody know how to cool a pool down? Lol
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.Thanks I'm sure my husband can make one. He already has the pvc stuff left over from changing out our filter
