Solar covers

Reverse flow solar panel intresting , I see they now sell mini pool cooling towers ,but are to much coin

Flexible solar panels can be had for as little as $200. Or you can go the Poconos route if you have some unused land and make your own. Poconos uses black hose but if your goal is to LOSE heat then it can be anycolor--you run them at night.

Wonder if you buried a good length of hose/pipe and ran the water through it if that would cool it down. Depending on the soil and where you are, you may need to go a bit deep. Interesting problem, which is totally theoretical for me here!

Ah! The Poor Man's Geothermal route!

Yes I should have layed a field of pipe on the bottom drain suction line . I love when you turn on the waterfall and the water that comes out 1st is so cool ....My pool temp 87-88 degrees , my koi pond in the shade 80 degrees , so blocking/reflecting the sun could lower the temps

Be sure to watch your pH. Waterfalls tend to aerate the water, raising the pH.
