Like the rest of the country, here in Southern New Jersey we to have been in a heat wave with the temperature being in the high 90's for the last few weeks.
I had to break out the old fountain to try to cool down the water temperature this morning. Yesterday my water temp was at 89 degrees. This morning it was 86, if I remember correctly the last time I used the fountain I was able to get the temp tp drop around 3 degrees?

Your deck is beautiful! That is my ultimate goal once my AG pool is installed. So is that fountain just floating? I like it! Where did you buy it? (I'm concerned since I don't have any trees for shade that my pool water will get very warm during heatwaves.)

Thank you, yes the fountain just floats with a long clear hose the attaches to the return. It has a sliding weight the also attaches to the hose to keep it in place. I cannot remember where I got it from, sorry.
