re: how to cool water temps without a chiller?

Glacier Pool Chiller
About $3000. It will drop our pool temp 8-12 degrees in a couple days. Will hold it steady during the day and drops the temps at night. We have a darker plaster finish and it does the job well. The first summer we had the pool without a chiller. I said this is BS…so warm it defeated the purpose of having a pool! Bit the bullet and no regrets. Doesn’t cost much to run, just a small electric fan motor.

That company doesn’t expect to have any customers that are thrifty chemical engineers.
Please someone check my math… For the Raypak linked above … according to its specs, it puts out 100k btu/hr, so would need to run 25 hours at its rated 5kw to cool 30kgals of water 10 degrees. At $0.08/kWh, that’s a little over $10. I assume some heat is lost to the dirt the pool sits in, too, so call it $15. Doesn’t seem too bad, if it’s built to last.
Disclaimer, I’m a few cold pops in and didn’t let my operator buddy check this, so it’s probably all wrong.

I built my own chiller.
