"Petri dish" is right. The hotter the pool water and more constant the summer sun in longer daylight hours, the faster the pool sanitizing chemicals like chlorine dissipate, and the chemicals cost a lot more money in the hottest months.

And the hotter the pool, the more people sweat in the water in a sport pool lap swim and workout, and so....the more the chemical balance of the pool water is affected by the ammonia in the increased sweating of the swimmers not being cooled off by either the water or the ambient temperature outside the water.

That is one of the biggest reasons the commercial chillers are put in. They not only cool, but the cost of buying and running it is paid for quickly by decreased chemical balancing/sanitizing costs AND more consistent, even water temperature.

But that's all in the links I posted earlier and if people don't want to read, they don't.
