I recommend a piece of PVC with small holes drilled in it coming out of one of your return eyeballs to aerate the water. It works to drop our Houston, TX water to whatever the nighttime temp is +1 degree on the hottest days of summer. All summer we achieved 82 on 81degree nights. $3.50
@Derek Schwartz Another thing to try is to run the pump on high and put in a couple of sprayers to be air cooled and drop back into the pool. Other than that you may need a chiller.
A pool that is below body temp will always feel cool if you spend enough time in it. Your 98.6 degree body will LOSE heat to the cooler 92 degree water. Eventually leading to shivering if you stay in it long enough. Therefore, a pool “chiller” is unnecessary in almost all cases. The water temp would have to be above body temp, near 100 degrees before you would want to “chill” it. Yes, 83 degrees water feels refreshing upon first plunge, but, the longer you plan on staying in the water, the closer to body temperature you want it. Even in super warm climates. In super dry climates like Arizona, you can get out of water that is 95 degrees and still feel cold while being wet in 110 degree dry air…the water evaporates from your body, pulling heat from your skin, causing the surface skin temp to drop significantly. Heat your pools as be happy. Very little reason to waste money “cooling” them.
@@1FightUSA , the air is over 100 degrees, but the water very very rarely gets above body temperature. The reason being, the GROUND surrounding the pool is much cooler than the air, PLUS, most night time temps cool the water off as well. So…in order for water to get into the 100s, the air would have to AVERAGE 120 degrees for a week straight…day and night. Long enough to raise ground temps below a pool into the 100s, which just doesn’t happen. So, yes, a pool can get into the 90s, but it’s very very rare to get into 100s
@@tjam4229 Dude when it's 110 or 115 degrees the water is 100+... I lived her for many years and that's pretty normal in the summer. Remember the temp doesn't drop low in the summer at night because the ground is still hot
@@1FightUSA , when it’s 110/115, the ground STILL doesn’t reach anywhere near air temps a few feet below ground. That ground temp is what keeps the pool water from getting into the 100s. You go down 5 or 6 feet and the temp drops by 30 degrees. I’m not saying the water doesn’t get “warm”…it does…I’m just saying it doesn’t get into the 100s. And I’m also saying that any water less than body temp (near 100) will slowly pull the heat from your body. Soooooo, people underestimate the need to “cool” water down, even in the summer. People don’t realize, you will go hypothermic, and slowly lose body heat even in the Bahamas, where the water is very warm, if you stay in too long. It will eventually start to feel TOO COLD, and you will inevitably shiver. Same thing in AZ if water temps are below body temps.
Ok I’m so jealous. I can’t wait!
Springs in FL are 70 degrees all year. So, you can get that other places except for a chilled pool.
Good to know sinister184 👍
How cold can you get the water?
How many degrees can I expect to get my pool cooler and how long does it take to get to desired temperature with a chiller?
What heat pump w/cooler would yal recommend? *We have a small in-ground pool that holds 11,500 gallons, water is getting pretty warm here in Arkansas!

@@houstonwarren2 do you need to run the pool 24/7 to achieve that?
What brand of heat pump with chiller do you recommend?
Gulfsteam. They have the best warranty in the biz. 10 years. I have the heat pump but thinking of going with the heater/chiller capable one.
Umbrellas work prett good around the pool.
