chiller

Houston resident here, pool has been in mid 90s this summer after we refinished from white plaster to blue pebble sheen. Decided a chiller was necessary to enjoy swimming, but didn't want the high install/operating costs of a heat pump. One of my neighbors put the Glacier in and was super happy...

Our pool remodel was in early 2021. Replaced all the equipment and added some automation. We’re in Houston, Texas with high heat and humidity. Add to that our pool gets full sun. So, started weighing options for chillers/coolers. After seeing the cost to operate heat pumps, we went with the...

Looking to add a tropicool chiller to my pool as the glacier seems a little too loud for me by the house and master bed. What size would you recommend for a 12000 gallon pool in direct sunlight all day? Looking to drop from 92 to 86 degrees. I’m between the TC500 and the TC1000. Also how...

Hello TFP! I just finished a DYI install of a Glacier Pool Cooler and thought I’d share my experience; had done some research on these initially and while it seems they’re fairly popular, I couldn’t find a lot of information on self-installation. Hope this helps anyone else looking to do their...

I am highly considering a Glacier chiller because we live in Tampa and will not have a screen and our max pool depth is going to be 4'6". Has anyone on here had a Glacier in FL? I appreciate the help!

Living in Houston where my pool in August usually was 93-94F, I had tried all the aerating ideas from this pool cooling page and none yielded more than maybe 1F reduction. Cooling A Pool - Further Reading This year, because we wanted to reduce sun exposure for our baby in the pool, I bought 3...
