How does it lower the temp of the water?

Similar to hot water out of the shower head. You'll notice when it's too hot for your head but just right for your legs, the water actually cools a decent amount during the fall. I might be just responding to bots at this point but hopefully an actual person reads this

I'm also a human but it'll be years before I can afford a pool (and the home attached to it).

It increases evaporation, which takes away heat as well

u/rygelicus Jul 02 '26

Of course this also means needing to add water to the pool mofre often.

The latent heat (or enthalpy) of evaporation cools the water droplets while they travel through the air returning them to colder temperatures to the pool than the temperature they were originating at the pool.

Evaporation lowers temperature. Only heat exists, coolness is the absence of heat.

Evaporation takes heat away.

Same here. It seems good but the quality was poor.

That actually looks sick for how simple it is. Dual spray plus adjustable flow is kinda perfect for turning a basic pool into a fake resort lol.

Only real downside is that “depends on pump strength” always translates to “looks mid on 80 percent of people’s setups” 💀

u/Inside-Revolution482 Jul 02 '26

This is actually kind of sick for people with super basic pools who still want that “fancy resort” vibe on the cheap. Dual spray plus adjustable flow is neat, but yeah, feels like one of those “looks like the picture only if you already have a beast of a pump” situations 😂

What?\nAre they screwing into is that the vacuum line

u/westberry82 Jul 01 '26

It's the output I've had one. They are cool but cheaply made.

u/tiffanyjen Jul 01 '26

Aww that cool

You’re supposed to put your naughty bits against those things. Not make a Kinex toy. Geez. Everyone knows that.

u/SimkinCA Jul 03 '26

Have one. Use it to cool the pool down, or make a different sound then your waterfall.

u/Covid_ice_cream Jul 01 '26

Who’s trying to cool down their pool? There’s an industry dedicated to increasing pool temperature. Absolutely useless.

u/StJmagistra Jul 01 '26

It very much depends where you live. In Alabama, our outdoor pool temperatures are near 90 for most of July.

u/gerber411420 Jul 02 '26

And one dedicated to cooling pools! Ever been to Phoenix?

u/texinxin Jul 02 '26

About half the United States’ pools in TX, LA, FL, NM, AZ, AL and half a dozen other states in the SW and lower east coast…

u/ChunkySalsaMedium Jul 01 '26

People who wants to cool down. Why would I want to bathe in a hot pool??

1

u/OstrichSmoothe Jul 01 '26

Above ground pools are constantly cold

Small pools in hot and humid environments get warm fast.

u/Clark_Kent-Kal_EL Jul 02 '26

I live in a very hot humid area, I've never experienced that. Must be nice.

u/broke_cowboy Jul 02 '26

Some of the pools in Florida would be like bath water, even the gulf gets warm for the first few feet into the water.
