Aylad is correct. You will not reduce the water temp any appreciable amount that would require a change in your water chemistry. You will still need to do the normal chemical basics.

If you can afford a swimming pool and computer, you can probably afford to help keep the PoolForum alive. Please be a responsible member and subscribe today. You'll probably save more than the membership fee on your first trip to the pool store. BTG
Re: cooling the pool in Phoenix
Hi,
Understood that there's no magic bullet here. Still need to test and adjust regularly.
I was reading the "Pool Tips" over on poolsolutions.com. Tip #6 says to add chlorine in the evening instead of the morning, since "During the day, it mostly is wasted -- lost to UV in the sunlight." Using this logic, I would think that some shade would help. Maybe I'm splitting hairs here?
Thanks,
hikernut
