Cooling a Hot Pool

[[email protected]]

We've had clouds and cooler temps the last couple of days. So not much solar heat getting to the pool. When it was sunny I checked the temps it went from 92 to 89. Not much cooler. I will check the ph and alk this weekend to see if it is changing. I did run across a comercial mister device I'll see if I can find it again and post a link. It seems to be very similer to the device posted, but prebuilt. It was about 29.00 and hooked up to an eyeball socket. Compared to the forced air fan type at 2600.00 I think it may be worth a try. I have notice some more rapid water loss, not much but just about 10% more than normal for this time of year. Thanks for the input.

Contrary to Matt's suggestion of running the pump at night to mix the water I would suggest that maybe the opposite would work.

If the water is more or less stagnant, the hottest water will rise to the top. You can ofter feel this when you swim in stagnant water. Colder at the bottom.

So if you want to lose heat, maybe you should let it rise to the surface and cause more evaporation for cooling. Everyone I know says the greatest loss of heat when you're trying to get a pool warmer, is off the surface.
