I am thinking about installing a solar heater via the pools pump.


Opposite problem here in Phoenix. With the daily highs stuck at around
110, the pool is right around body temperature, 98 or so. Leaving the
aerator turned on while the pumps run helps a little, cools it by a
couple of degrees, but it's still uncomfortably warm. Love to figure
out an inexpensive way to cool it down another 5 degrees or so.

Want me to ship you some warm water? G

Actually a solar system will help you as well. If you run through the solar system at night (when temperatures are relatively cool) it will cool the pool water. Just make sure you turn off the solar system during the day!
