I have one of the return jet fountains and I think it helps a little. I also installed a large triangle sunshade that covers up to 1/4 of the pool in the absolute heat of the day. I believe that extra shade has helped keep the temp a few degrees cooler. It is certainly a nice getaway from the blaring sun, even while relaxing in the pool.

This is the best way to cool your pool without a chiller.

Came here to post this. Get the big triangle sun shade (quality one that won't rot), install some screw eyes (can paint if you have to put on a structure), and 3 carabiners and hook that thing up in the Summer strategically to block sun during hottest parts of the day. If there isn't anything to hook the triangle to around the pool, get a huge cantilever offset umbrella.

We did this at our old house (triangle) and it made a noticeable difference in the pool temp. 3-4 degrees.
