So with the current heat the pool has gotten into the 90s (based on the SWG, above ground pipes). Because of this we've started looking into potentially how to bring the temperature down.
The pool has two pumps, one that runs the majority of the system, and one that purely runs a waterfall.
I could make a pvc aerator to hook onto the waterfall pump, and this would be the easiest, but would need to run the waterfall pump in addition to the pump running the filter and SWG.
Unfortunately, the pool jets and spa jets do not have a collar for me to replace and put an aerator on the jets.
The pool has a built in aerator, but the flow is extremely weak. It would be the easiest and the best if I could get the built in aerator running at low GPM since it will be in the filter loop as well as the SWG loop. But even at full tilt on our pool pump (140 gpm) it's not much more than a trickle, and the valve for the aerator is completely open. The videos I've seen online appear that the spray is much more aersoled and travels quite a bit further.
The manifold has two valves, the first controls if water goes towards the spa or the pool. After this valve there is another one that controls if the water goes to the pool return jets or the aerator and pool jets.
The only potential solutions I can think of are the actual aerator nozzle is too large, and could use a replacement but thus far it looks like just about all aerators have the same size, or I need to somehow close off some of the return jets to increase the resistance thereby diverting more water to the aerator.
Or on a completely different tangent I could build an aerator off a sump pump.
Anyone have any advice or thoughts?
