reflective cover to keep pool cool???

As 70% of heat loss is due to evaporation......this would probably not help you.

Other than a fountain, somehow shading the pool to prevent the sun heating it while still allowing evaporation would be your best option.

Large amounts of Dry Ice might be entertaining also

Thought about the dry ice, that would be really fun! I was thinking a little about that tyvek house wrap stuff, and some PVC pipe to keep it off the water. Thinking it would offer shade + reflect light since it's white. And if i kept it up off the water I'd still get evaporation, right?

Maybe my time would be better spent figuring out how to mount a fountain to my pvc returns that lack threads...
