Oh and when we all pay for those pool chillers in the TV pools, how about central air for the entire giant TV bubble? Haven’t figured the cost but perhaps a trillion BTUs. And one thermostat in the Developers office.

One of the many clubs that have been formed is The Villages Whiners Club. Perhaps a lot of these posts can be referred to the leader of that group. I imagine that meetings have to be done via Zoom, since no rec center could handle the in person attendance.

How about $500,000 for a windmill and a water tower?

If a commercial pool water cooler/chiller is between $6-10k (not including installation, maintenance and electric usage, I'm rough guessing a million or so for the initial purchase.

Who is going to pay for this so you won't be too warm when you go in this time of year?

Your price quote is high, but compare that to $3,000,000 for a wood shop for 300 members.

Yep take a bag of ice , wear shorts with pockets and stuff em before you jump in. Okay I don’t mean skinny shorts I am talking cargo shorts! Big pockets!

Who knows about my price, but you think equipping 90+ pools will be less than a million bucks?

I just love the warm pool temperature. We go after 5:00 on hot days and float on noodles. Best time of the year, as far as I’m concerned - don’t you even think of cooling the water temperature!!

Love the warmer temps at the pools.

The pool temps are just fine.

I agree with the OP. Nothing refreshing about it being 95 degrees outside and trying to cool down in rec center pool water that's likely over 90 degrees. I realize its mostly heated in summer months by the sun - so maybe simply lower the actual heater from 86 to maybe 80 or 82 (only in the summer) so that the sun is heating from 80/82 degree water vs 86 degree water. That's what we do when we are back home in the summer with our own inground pool, so that our pool water is not bath water temp. And it's free - no chiller required!

There’s an argument to cool the water at Rec Center pools - swimming laps/working out in 90+ degree water is not good for the body.

A good rain storm will cool off the water, but only temporary. But it sure beats playing golf in this heat
