I am aware of the pool aerators found here: Cooling A Pool - Further Reading. However, I would like something more discrete, even at the expense of performance. Also, it seems these are fairly easy to remove & store when running the robot (I am assuming leaving any aerator/mister in-place when running a bot is not good).

These come in a pack of two. I have 6 total returns, I also hope not to have to block any returns to get something like this to work. I am not interested in a DIY solution, but I'm open to other products or suggestions.

My pool reaches 92 degrees, and I only want to reduce temperature by 4-5 degrees.
 
I have 2 of these and they work great. Note I have 6 total returns as well, but just have them on 2 of them. I also leave them in when the robot is running and no issues. As you can see, they cover most of the pool and will get on the patio if I run the rpms too high. They are also easy to just pivot them underwater when you are swimming so they act like a normal return and don't spray you.

Here is my current temp (87) with it blazing hot outside (the sensor gets baked in the afternoon sun, its not really 107 but still mid 90's). The pool was 82 this morning so you really see a big cooldown at night. My ideal swim temp is 85-88 so this helps keep the pool there during the heat of the day.

Dumb question: how do you avoid running them during the day?

I run mine all the time, unless I'm in the pool. Then I just push the head under the water and you don't even know they are there. The clear plastic pipe easily turns so you don't need any tools or adjustments to make them "disappear" when you don't want them on.

Here is a close up of mine in normal use and another with it pushed under the water.

Ah ok - so you get the benefit of the nighttime cooling, but you don't just give it all back with daytime heat?
I'm intrigued because my pool is full sun and can get to bathtub temps now until end of August, if not adding well water to account for evaporation.
