The heat pumps that reverse to do both heating and cooling are to maintain consistent temperature which is both comfortable and saves energy costs. That or another technology could replace current heaters when they wear out. |

It's silly to keep debating the same points.

![]() I got it right away. If Y'all want to talk to the experts about it, call T and D pools. I bet they have installed more swimming pools than anyone in this country.

And we didn't order the Rec Dept./District to buy something with an amenities fee increase as is accused, either. Some of us "asked", and didn't dictate. Just so ya know. We're not The Enemy. We're fellow residents of TV. |

I have only been to a few pools, but even last summer I never found one to be too warm to enjoy swimming. Getting out periodically without drying off with a towel will cool you down some, especially in the shade under a fan, even on a hot day.
Warmer water does require tougher efforts to kill bacteria. Has anyone stuck a thermometer in to see the actual temperature? In an era in which we want to reduce energy use, it does seem self-indulgent to cool a swimming pool. |

There are always going to be people who like it hot, and those who like it colder. Standard completive swimming pools are set right around 80 degrees. Thats for swimmers who do a serious aerobic workout which could easily be about 140 lengths of the sport pool per session, to put it in perspective. You can't imagine how it feels to do that type of workout in bathwater. The pools right now are average about 90 degrees. Its unhealthy to say the least. For those that want a gentle splashing around, there are tons of neighborhood pools to choose from which would not be chilled. The sports pools are supposed to be for the more serious athletes. It would be nice to have at least one pool in the Villages that was cooled to a reasonable degree. If people wanted to swim in hot water they would have many pools to choose from. Those who need cooler water for proper aerobic training would at least have one option, other than leaving the Villages and swimming in Gainesville.

I was just suggesting that T and D would know about the technology. My very brief Google searches made me think that Glacier Pool in Arizona isn't very big and that their technology is blowing air on the water as it is pumped through in order to cause heat transfer, probably more efficient in areas like Arizona where the air is less humid. They also say that they can "accommodate" salt water pools, but the pump will need to be "washed off" every "couple of weeks. They have a one year warranty on their many sized pumps. That made me wonder....hmmm. I hadn't heard of pool cooling and I am old but I do try to keep current. I like to understand the "science" of things. Perhaps someone here can explain how you cool a pool other than to blow air with a fan on the circulating water. After having T and D in our yard the last couple of months installing a pool, I am in awe of their expertise and their high standards and would think they would know about pool cooling.

Those interested in cooling a villages pool should visit the Chatham pool. They have rooftop solar heating panels to heat their pool, and I'm pretty sure they have a controller that can be easily set to cool the pool. If they are not cooling the pool, they may be willing to try it and see how effective it is and how their customers like it. It would be minimal cost only requiring a little electricity to run the pool filtration pump.

Again, here are various major manufacturer rep catalog pages online, that are ALL classified under heat pumps that reverse and cool. Pool Heat Pumps and Chillers | PoolSupplyUnlimited.com The second link I'll put is a specific example of one of many commercial Heat & Cool Pumps...... https://www.poolsupplyunlimited.com/...13734/140360p1 And, to correct what was misrepresented about info I posted before, which cites usage of these Heat & Cool commercial pumps in Orlando, Ft. Myers, and KEY WEST which are equally or more "humid" than here....Here is that industry news page again. Swimming pool chillers are making a splash in hot markets -- PHOENIX, Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- . |
