Question

How can i cool my swimming pool water?

Answer 1

Without installing some type of water cooler system I'd say your best bet is to cover it with reflective material and/or light color when you aren't in it.

Answer 2

Companies that sell bagged ice, usually also ice by the block.  They will deliver and the cost is reasonable.  The effect is not long term, but perfect for a pool party.  The kids loved playing on the large blocks too.  We have also (in desperation) backwashed 6-8 inches of water out and refilled it with cold water from the hose.

Answer 3

I had the same problem, all i did was rig up a sprinkler to the output of my filter pump, it coold off the pool overnight by almost 20 degrees, if you dont want to make one they have some on walmart.com for above ground pools and they do make them for inground pools at http://www.mistcooling.com/poolcooler.ht... this is very cheap and works well.
