I have a reversable heat pump. I cool the water to 82 degrees everynight. I run from 11pm to 6am. I live in Phoenix and I don't see a big increase in my electric bill because I cool in off peak ours which is about 1/3 the cost as the peak hours. Water will heat up to about 86 degrees by the time I go swimming after 4pm and then the cycle starts over. Cooler water is better for the pool chemicals.

[@SwimUniversity]

@@IceCreamManDLR Running it during off peak hours is the way to do it!

It was 53 one morning this week. I have the opposite problem. The pool heater is back in business!

[@SwimUniversity]

Keep that pool season going!

[@drdrew3]

Pool is 93F right NOW and hotter every day. This was a very timely and informative video

[@SwimUniversity]

Hope this helps!

We purchased a floating canopy that covers about 25% or 30% of our pool surface. It's great and works really well to keep temperature down several up to 5°degrees and our guests really appreciate it in the middle of summer to keep the harsh sun off of them.

[@blackhouse7646]

What brand of chillers and heat pump do you recommend? Also, what is the electricity impact on both of them? Thanks in advance

[@kimmishennett3537]

Do you have to change your water in an inground pool every so many years or no and if so when????

[@blainetrahan8883]

We have a pool chiller and it was a lifesaver for this very hot summer.

[@SwimUniversity]

It's a must-have in the hotter climates

When vacuuming pool should I shut pump off prior for amount of time to allow debris or dead algae to settle at the bottom

[@SwimUniversity]

Vacuuming will kick things up naturally, so you don't really have to wait. But skim and brush beforehand.

[@poolg-xp8gz]

can you by any chance about a pool demolition/ removal video too in case someone needs to get rid of pool- anything to know about permit, hiring contractor/ contracts, what if your back yard access is limited by big bobcat, any pitfalls, how to prepare, notify neighbors?

[@shaunedwards7707]

Hi , firstly I like to thank you and the team for helping me turn my green pool back to cleanish but I made a school boy error I thought the bleach / clorine I purchased was pursue and soap free , but after using it it began to slightly foam I read the small print on the bottle to see it contained it , Do you have any advise on how I can reduce the affect of the shop in it , please , 🙏 I'd be very thankful 👍

[@SwimUniversity]

Try running your pump and filter 24/7 for a day or two. Then clean it and run again. That should help.

[@flavormaker]

Very helpful. Now I know why my pH keeps creeping up.

[@SwimUniversity]

Glad we could help!

[@SimpleDesertRose]

I moved my pool into the shade of some mesquite trees this year for this reason. Now I have a love/hate realtionship with those trees. I love that they shade the pool from the blistering desert sun. Hate all the debree they drop into the pool. I'm thinking next year trying shade cloth instead. I may try an airator next year too. Not sure if it would have done any good this summer. The tenoerafure has yet to get below 96 this summer.

[@SwimUniversity]

That's a tough trade off for sure. Shade helps but debris doesn't!

[@SimpleDesertRose]

@@SwimUniversity no it doesn't. I'm over pea soup for a pool so I'm moving it next season and putting up some shade cloth. I"m over the debris.

[@adrianobaldacci6006]

Man, can you do a vid on water features? I have a waterfall and my PH levels are always up. I’m wondering if I should run it significantly more or less. Usually just run it for 1 hour a day. I read something about lowering your alkalinity to stop the off gassing too. Very lost on this one

[@SwimUniversity]

Water features raise your pH! This video explains it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moLZpZqBntKfpc0

[@scottiencali]

A cover and a dark bottom pool ours is high 80s low 90s most the summer. Cant take off the cover due to too much evaporation. All the cold water is in the deep end..so if you swim around and stir up the water it mixes and helps. Mostly ill turn on the hose for 20 min if its in the 90s and i want to go in..but it also feels kinda nice..but bad for plaster.

[@SwimUniversity]

Glad the deep end is cooler at least!

[@Anthonygarage]

Can I is it a Intex sand filter pump on the inground pool?

[@SwimUniversity]

It's likely not strong enough

[@TimLewallen]

The only option available to me is the one you didn't count - dumping in a bunch of ice. I may buy a few bags and dump them in after sundown.

[@SwimUniversity]

We know lots of people who do that. Sometimes it's the only option.

[@bern5103]

Do you have a pool chiller recommendation?

[@SwimUniversity]

We haven't tested across brands, but look for one with a good warranty.

[@netropolis]

I am from the future... I am here to let Swim University know, this will be your least watched video of all time. I have had a pool for a dozen years and have never, EVER thought... "you know, this pool is just too darn warm"

[@diane8885]

We have had our pool for 32 years. Had that problem once. It was wonderful!

[@unknownriderinbound]

Our pool temp runs in the mid 90's from June to October, so, yeah this is useful info.

[@drdrew3]

Pool temp is 93F right now so this is definitely useful for everyone in my area. Just because it’s not helpful to you it’s very narrow minded to disregard it as useless information. I appreciate the content and the effort (even when it doesn’t apply to me)

[@SimpleDesertRose]

You're clearly not from somewhere where its 118+ all summer long

[@heydeereman1040]

We have been "only 104°F" for 10 days. Our 30k gallon pool already feels like a Hot Tub.
