I Have a gas pool heater so the heat pump/chiller option isnt an ideal situation, plus i live in North Texas and the pool company basically told me the chillers work much better in dryer climates. They said something about getting a fountain but i never really followed up with them. Anyone have any suggestions?

There's a few threads recently with the massive heat wave that we had. There's a few fountain devices that replace the eyeballs on your return jets. They are ~$20 on Amazon. I put one on, not sure it really did much.

The other option is trying to create some sort of shade. I hung a big sun sail triangle over part of the pool.

aerating the water overnight using your water features or one of those devices that RaginCajunz is talking about can drop it a few degrees. But it isn't going to turn that 95-degree pool back to 86 degrees.

My brother has several of these spraying in his pool 24/7. I swear that water was 60 degrees last weekend. It kept it colder than I or the kids like, but we got used to it after a while.

I use a "sprinkler" that I run from the pool cleaner port. I turn the port "ON" and adjust the spray height as needed. Running it during the night is the only way to achieve good results-4-6 degree drop overnight. Typically goes down to 86 from 92.

Why would you say the pool chiller isn’t the best option? I live in south La and have a pool chiller.
This makes no sense
