If I want it warmer, I pee in it.

Typing this from the edge of the pool with a cold beer in hand. Pool is 93 and it’s too damn hot. I think 89 would be ideal.

Thinking about buying some of those floating sun reflectors off of Amazon but they are pricey. Anyone tried them?

My tops out at 89 to 90 - It's about 89 right now. That's at the edge of "any warmer would be too warm".

If you like warm pool water you probably stick things up your pee pee hole.

My pool is shaded most of the day, as long as it’s above ~77 degrees or so, I’m good with it.

Just checked the temp and it’s 90 right now.

83 but the chiller is working hard.

It was 91 when I turned the heat pump off for a week while we were out of town. Then pulled it back now when we got home.

Was fishing just north of Grand Isle last Saturday. Jumped in to cool off at some point. The difference in temp between the top two feet and then going down to about four feet was astonishing. At least 15 degree difference

Yea. The sun and science and shite

Kool Your Pool

I have two of these and run them overnight when I want to cool it down. Two nights ago it was 92F. In the morning it was 85F. How well it works depends on the pool water temp and the dew point.

Been considering a chiller.

Are they a lot of upkeep?

Pool Spray Aerator

I Cajun engineered one of these with some plumming fictures and a couple of showerheads for a friend of mine before Walmart started selling them.

They really work

Jesus. What is your gas bill? I run the heater for 1 cold day and its like $50 in gas


The heater is electric. We don’t have gas where I live. I have a propane tank for the generator but without a tank we don’t have gas hookups. Like I said the heater doesn’t run much 4-5 months a year.

90.7 right now. I imagine it would be higher without the fountain. Sweet spot is 85-88 for me. Anything below 85 begins to be a little too cool for my liking.

I have a dual function heat pump. No issues or maintenance yet. It’s not quite as efficient as a true heater or chiller but a good middle of the road option.

Our pool temp is currently at 89. I put a sun screen over the pool to keep the water temp down. If it gets much hotter, I’ll turn on the bubblers to help bring the temp down. My wife (has MS) does pool therapy every morning weather and water temp permitting. Anything above 90 and she can’t get in the pool.

Mine has sprinklers

So the water is always moving.

You can get them on Amazon if they weren’t built in.
