How to cool down swimming pool water
During this especially hot summer, people with pools are enjoying them more than ever as a way to cool off and have fun. However, with many areas seeing hotter temperatures than usual this year, bringing a new problem to the attention of pool owners and those who just love to enjoy someone else's pool: how do you lower the temperature of a pool when it has become so warm that it is no longer refreshing?
Try these ideas to cool off
To get your pool feeling more like a swimming pool and less like a bathtub, there are two things that will definitely help: running your solar panels at night and installing a fountain or two. Although they may not seem like they would be certain ways to drop the temperature a few degrees, these are proven solutions to a too-hot pool.
- Solar panels. Although most people probably associate solar panels with raising the temperature of a pool, running them at night instead of during the day can actually accomplish the opposite effect. Since the panels cool off at night, running the water through them lowers the temperature of that water, allowing it to return to the pool cooler than when it left. Just remember to turn the panels off during the day, or you can end up hotter than when you started!
- Fountains. Not only do they make your pool area more attractive, but the spray of water leads to evaporation, which lowers the temperature by expending energy. You will get a more significant cooling effect by running them at night, and you will need to add water to the pool to compensate for the water that evaporates.
These ideas won't help
During a hot summer, you might be tempted to try just about anything to cool off your pool. Before you waste your time and/or money, skip these ideas:
- Pool covers. Despite what they may advertise, in hot climates, a pool cover won't help with cooling. Instead, they stop evaporation, making it harder for the temperature of the water in your pool to drop.
- Adding ice. It works in a glass, so why not in a pool? Think again – the amount of water in a pool is simply too large to be affected unless you added an enormous amount of ice, and even then the effect would wear off quickly.

From Base Battery Lasts 3-4 Years The Colorful Wristband Instantly Sounds An Alarm If It's Submerged Perfect for children, non-swimmers, or pets, the Swimming Pool Alarm is the only pool alarm that the user can wear on their wrist and that will give immediate alerts if the wearer touches water. Considering that children and pets can drown is as few as 2 inches of water, this device gives parents or family members the added level of protection beyond just old fashioned supervision. If the wristband touches water, a loud alarm will automatically sound up to 200 feet away. Parents can quickly respond to the emergency and save their child or family member from injury or death. The Swimming Pool Alarm Provides Continuous Protection 24/7 The Swimming Pool Alarm is the only pool alarm that offers continuous protection to the wearer. Most swimming pool alarms must be turned on and off by whomever cleans the pool or when swimmers use the pool. Without an alarm activated, a non-swimmer could still fall in and no one would know it. These alarms also do not monitor lakes, kiddie pools, your neighbor's pool, or inflatable pools. The Swimming Pool Alarm lets parents and family members tag a specific non-swimmer or pet that may fall into any body of water. Protect Your Children From Drowning In Unmonitored Bodies Of Water Even though you have an alarm on your pool, your neighbor may not. That is what sets The Swimming Pool Alarm apart from other swimming pool alarms. Other swimming pool alarms only work on an enclosed areas or specific bodies of water. Usually you cannot set-up your swimming pool alarm to monitor a nearby lake, or your neighbor's kiddy pool. With The Swimming Pool Alarm, you attach the alarm directly to your child's or non-swimmer's wrist or a pet's paw. That means if he or she becomes submerged in ANY body of water, whether it is a lake, a nearby unmonitored pool, or the bathtub, the alarm will go off and you will be notified. Alarm Can Protect Multiple Bodies Of Water Such As A Neighbor's Pool Or Nearby Lake You Can Keep The Alarm On Even When Someone Is Cleaning Or Using The Pool To Protect Non-Swimmers The Alarm Is Body-Worn And Can Be Put On Any Non-Swimmer Other Pool Alarms NO NO NO Wireless Pool Alarm YES YES YES The Swimming Pool Alarm is not a substitute for diligent supervision or an adequate barrier to restrict the access of children to water hazards. Features: The Swimming Pool Alarm works with ALL Fresh Water, natural (lake, river and pond) or man made (pool, hot tub and pond) No installation required Quick set-up and testing A loud alarm instantly sounds at the Base Station when |
