| Hi all. I foolishly opted for a very dark colored plaster finish, and as I live in Central Texas, the water gets so hot, it is like a bathtub. Not fun swimming in 90 degree water when it is 100 degrees out.
I have a white spot where I accidentally dropped chlorine in the pool, and it made me wonder if I could drain the pool, and use bleach to lighten the whole plaster finish. Anyone know if this would work? |

| Have you tried aerating your pool? I have found doing this at night can drop my pool temp by 4-5 degrees. |

| Central Texas is very dry. A fountian, waterfall, or etc. that causes splashing will cause evaporation and cool the pool off quite a bit. I've seen this product advertised before, but have no idea if it really works. http://www.mistcooling.com/poolcooler.htm |

| Not without damaging your plaster and voiding your warranty. You would have to drain the pool, apply a Bond Kote and replaster. |
