Lol. It’ll work!! Make the pvc point straight up so the water makes a pretty little fountain.

Cooling down swimming pool

I had the same problem last year after our pool was finished. I bought some spray nozzles off amazon that screw into your pool jets. I run them during the heat of the day and they spray far enough and fine enough to cause an evaporative effect that is 3 degrees different at the end of the stream from the beginning. Amazing how evaporative cooling works.
I run them at night too and the air temp naturally lowers the water temp. If I don't run it during the day the water temp will be up to 90-91. If I run them during the day the temp will be 88 and that's a big difference in how it feels.
There are several PVC spray nozzles on amazon that will screw into your jets.

I think that’s essentially what they doing at the city pool on Williams Drive in Gtown. Only they’ve got some sprayer mounted on a tripod to do it.

I found a setup like the pictures above that fits into the returns today at our local pool store. They were $25 and comes with the fittings and adjustable flow diverter. One is a spray bar and the other is a spray flower head, both the same price. I really got it for a sprayer for the dog to nip at, lol.
You are fighting the darker color pool finish, it's a pretty big difference from a white or salt and pepper finish. The upside to darker is you get more swim time each year, get in earlier in March and go until October. It can be tough in the summer though.
Regarding ice, I have a 600# bin on my ice machine and I will empty it sometimes to clean the bin, dumping the whole bin into the hot tub. It makes a difference for about 20 minutes, lol.Last edited by Mike; 07-20-2018, 08:10 PM.
