Water Temp

[tclemmer]

Anyone have any experience with one of these evaporative cooling systems?

For $36 bucks it may be worth a try. Our water temps here in south Texas yesterday were at 96 degrees. Talk about a large hot tub...

Not sure it would work but it is cheaper at

I would have thought that a couple of cooling fans run at night over the pool surface to help evaporate the water would work.

Advantages are:

1. Don't need to run the pool pump.

2. The air temps at night are cooler.

3. The higher water temperature helps to increase the evaporative effect.

Just make sure that the fans are connected through a GFCI outlet.

Hope this helps.

I just ordered 2 of these devices. I hope they work as advertised. I will post back my experience with them and let you know if they work or are bogus.

I received the pool cooling devices today. I will try to install them tonight and see what they do. I will let you know. BTW-if you buy 2, the S&H is free.

I will be interested to see if they work.

Keep us informed.

I had to go buy one of the keys to remove the pipe at the returns. I will do this tomorrow. It has been in the high 90's with heat indexes of 105+. We had a few days that weren't sweltering heat, along with some rain, and my pool came down to a refreshing 84. Now I'm sure it will be back to 90+. I will post back and let you know if this works or not.

Well, I installed the pool coolers tonight, and I must say so far so good. My water was 91 degrees tonight, and we have nothing but 95 degree days with heat indexes of 100+ ahead. As soon as I installed them and turned my pump back on, I jumped in to see what it would do. It was amazing. The water coming out of the device was about 10 degrees cooler than the pool water. You can stick your hand in the water, then immediately put it in the water being sprayed, and it is day and night difference. I left them in and running tonight and put my Aquabot in. I also had to shock as I have some algae developing. So there is a lot of stuff going on in my pool right now. I will post back and let you know the results, hopefully getting to below 85.

I am busy trying to lower the temp on my pool, since it hit 98 yesterday!
