Pool Cooler - Decreases The Pool Water Temperature 8-10 Degrees - Do it Yourself Install - Easy to Install Easy to Dismantle - No Energy Required to Operate

this thing actually works. Lowered my in ground pool temp 6 degrees. Very easy to install and looks good

Update: We are now into our 4th pool season with these.We have a 27,000 gallon pool in Dallas. In July and August, the water temperature will rise to about 92 degrees if we don't use the cooling sprayers. With the sprayers, the pool stays around 82 degrees. We run 9 hours per night, from midnight to 9am. We have 5 return jets. We installed 2 of these coolers, and blocked the other 3 return jets. We have a variable flow pump, Pentair Intelliflo VSF, with the flow rate set high enough to make sure that water is coming out the top holes of the spray tower, and the spray from these top holes lands about 3 to 4 feet out into the pool. When we bought these spray towers, each one came with one screw plug to block a jet. A quick trip to the hardware store was needed to buy enough plugs to block the jets not connected to the 2 sprayers.A bit more info about our setup. We have an adjustable flow rate pump (Pentair VSF), this is more advanced than adjustable speed (RPM). Being able to set the flow rate makes it easy to dial in how hard to push water out of the sprayers as well as making sure the pool water is turned over enough times per day for cleaning/chlorination purposes. This pumps ability to keep a consistent flow rate is useful to maintain a consistent sprayer output even as the filter slowly builds up back pressure between cleanings. Our pool equipment is next to our bedroom window. To keep the pump noise down, we prefer to run the pump as slow as we can get away with. Slower pump = less noise. Another benefit of running slower is that pumps are much more energy efficient at lower speeds (slower speed = more gallons filtered per kwhr of electricity used). However, the cooling towers are more effective at higher flow rates where they spray farther through the air, causing more evaporative cooling. It is a tradeoff.

The media could not be loaded. Fabulous! When we put a pool in I always worried the pool would be too cold, but I never thought I would have to worry about it being too hot! These are incredible and they do such great work. They are a little loud but very nice aesthetically and very effective!

Although this product was easy to install, we never got to experience whether or not it actually cooled the water. We installed it the evening it arrived, and let it mist overnight, as suggested. We were looking forward to getting in the pool the next morning, but instead we had to deal with spending $1200 and waiting 2 days because the seal on our sand filter busted and was spraying water everywhere! Our sand filter was only a little over 2 years old, so I am having trouble believing it was time to replace it already. It was more than just a huge coincidence that this happened at the same time we installed these cooling misters. I hate that I spent $140 on 2 misters (as suggested for the size of our pool) and now they are just sitting in a corner in the shed because I don't want to risk busting the seam on our sand filter again! I know there are many good reviews, which is why I bought these, but because of the extra money we had to spend, I will never take the chance of installing them again. I will just deal with cooling my pool with ice.

Well, I thought I would add my experience, since others may be curious about the effectiveness of this product. We live in Houston, and the pool temperature has gotten uncomfortably warm in the past month or so. I checked the water temperature with a thermometer, and we were right at 92 degrees. This was after draining some of the water out of the pool and refilling to reduce the temperature from 96 degrees.After pricing a pool chiller at my local pool supply store around $3k, I decided to look for more affordable options. I was skeptical that this product would make a noticeable difference, but at around $50, I figured it was worth a shot. The kit comes with adapter to connect to return jet on side of pool. I hooked this up to one of the return jets, and the spray was initially pretty weak. The kit does come with some 1 1/2" plugs to plug up other returns if this is the case. However, I thought I would try hooking it up to the Polaris port in the pool. That got the job done, this thing squirted all the way across the pool at that point. Anyway, left it running over night so that it would run while the air was cooler. Checked it in the morning, managed to get the water temperature down to 86 degrees. So, it works. A lot depends on the amount of pressure that your pool pump is delivering, and I image the size of your pool, air temperature, etc. I think If I had used this before draining water out of the pool, the effect would have been more dramatic, but I am happy with this purchase. Having said that, you could probably rig this up with PVC from your local builder supply store, so I guess you are paying for the holes.Installation took all of 5 minutes. You remove the eyeball from the return jet, then screw in the supplied adapter. You might need a plastic key for this part, which you can get on Amazon or at your local pool supply store. I was able to remove mine without one, but is simple enough either way. I'm sure that if I had started with this before partially draining the pool, it would have reduced the temperature a little more, so I think the claim of 8-10 degrees is realistic, depending on temperature and the size of your pool.
