At INYO Pools.com you can see a Glacier Pool Chiller GPC240 for pools up to 180,000 gallons for $7999. Prices are higher now, but I would think a large discount could be had for a large volume order. Glacier sells commercial and residential pool equipment and is one of the largest supplier in the USA. You can call them up with dimensions of sport, neighborhood, and family pools and get a more accurate view on price plus they can give you information on yearly cost to run these units. You could call INYO or go direct and speak to the people at Glacier. They would love to talk to you about the possibility of adding chillers to the pools in the premier retirement community in the United States.

Good question! There are pool calculators available for determining gallons. You need to input length, width and depth. (For depth have shallow and deep end depths)

Eisenhower appears to be about 70' x 73'. If it is an average of 5' deep (I've not been in a sports pool) then that would make 25,550 cu ft or about 190,000 gals.

That sounds about right. I came up with a very rough estimate of 50,000 to 140,000 for the smaller pools. Need someone to take accurate measurements.

agreed!

Don’t know the width (not the same for all pools), but all sports pools are 25 yards (75 feet) long which is standard lap swimming length for non Olympic (metric) pools. The one exception is Savannah, which is shorter than regulation length.

No need to chill the water in the pools, the temperature is a little warm but totally adequate.

We endure the 82 degree temperature in the cool months and look forward to this time of year. There are so few days the pool gets over 88. Rain cools the water quickly. Enjoy these temps while they are here!

Our sports pools are Junior Olympic size pools. I have no idea how many gallons of water they hold. Answers on Google are all over the place so I don't think those answers hold much water. LOL.

Our sports pools are the same depth with maybe a couple of inches deeper towards the middle. The depth of these pools is about 3 1/2 feet but don't quote me on that. I'm 5'2" and when I stand up, the water level is at my chest. I know there are pool markings at the sides for the depth but I can't recall what they are.

Mulberry, Seabreeze and Rohan are chilled over night using an aerator system. If the water temp is 90, it will be around 86 in the morning. During the summer on sunny days the sports pools can get to be low 90s if not repeatedly chilled over night. The smaller adult pools can get even warmer.

Time to hit a cooler pool while it lasts (lightning may warm it up a bit).
