How Can I Keep My Above Ground Salt Water Pool Cold?
by Heather
I have an above ground salt water pool and it is HOTT!! Is there anything I can do? Thanks for the question Heather You have an issue that many above ground pool owners face; a very hot pool. You do have some options. Each of these work to varying degrees. You can install a 3-tier pool fountain. It allows to be easily attached to your pool’s existing pump. You'll want to turn this on at night to take advantage of the cooler temperatures. Pool Fountains The height of the spray is adjustable from 7 to 16 feet, and installation can take about 5 minutes. Your evaporation will increase due to the extra water movement. There's a company called Mist Cooling and they have products similar to pool fountains. http://www.mistcooling.com Glacier Pool Coolers has cooling systems that will cool hot swimming pools. It's installed somewhat like a pool pump or heater in the equipment and cools the going into the filtration system and returns the cool water back into the pool thorough the returns. If you're thinking about putting ice or dry ice in the pool, you can forget that. A 500lb. block of dry ice will only cool a 12,000 gallons pool by 1 - 2 degrees, and it's very temporary, not to mention expensive in the long run.
