can this be set up in Alabama, I was wondering because of the temperatures in the summer.

Unfortunately, I am from New Hampshire so I would not be the best one to answer this particular question. I don't see the temperature issue being a major one, other than the water would become quite warm, but that would happen with even in-ground pools in your part of the country. You might have to use a little more in the way of chemicals and have to "top off" the water every few days due to evaporation (but that would also keep the pool water cooler). In any event, we bought our intex easy set pool for $200 and for that money, we felt it was worth the experiment of trying an above-ground pool. It was a definite success. Good luck with your decision.

I can't see the temperatures affecting the usage of the pool. I live in Southern New Jersey where summer days are hot and humid, mid 90's to 100 plus, for days at a time. You'll use more chemicals on the hotter days and the water gets pretty warm, especially if there isn't any shade available. Just throw a hose in to cool down the water. We bought our second Intex pool this year. Our first one lasted 5 seasons. Not bad for a couple hundred dollars. You'll be happy on those hot summer nights if you gave this a try.

I don't know why not it does have a cover which you can put on it. The water may get warm but set it up so you would be able to drain out water and add some cold water.

I actually live in Florida and can keep this great little pool up for 3 years without ever taking it down. I wouldn't be without my Intex pool. Requires very little maintenance all year round. Great deal for a very nice above ground pool. Just make sure the ground you all installing it on is very level. You will get a lot use out of your pool in Alabama.

Honestly- I don't know. We live in Michigan and used on something that we be in the house. It gets hot in here in the summer- but definitely not that hot. Sorry- wish I could give you better advice.

I was in Georgia during September and it was great. The weather was high 80s and there was ventilation... Anything higher than 90 and it might get stuffy

I agree with Karen's comment. It's really meant for dry, hot climate and wouldn't work well with another air conditioner.

I am not sure. Ours is in Maine on a deck in direct sun and held up well this summer but might be different for you with intense heat.

It should work quite nicely. From our use this growing season, it maintained a good temperature level as well as appropriate humidity.

Actually, we never set it up. We ordered wrong unit. This one is intended to cool outdoor areas. Yes, I said outdoor. Who knew?

I wouldn't suggest it, the fixture offers no weather protection. Maybe in the southwest where there isn't much precipitation.

It is based on the outside air temperature, so will vary, but nothing you can set. The instructions mention that.

Yes, it can be set up on the lawn and I'm not sure if it is water proof. The only issue we had with it is that we didn't get two window panels like the said...none of our panels have windows and that was disappointing.

I live in Georgia and we sometimes see temperatures in the teens. We have not had low enough temperatures to interfere with the operation this year. As a precaution I ordered an extra battery and have them hooked up in tandem.

Yeh works great had mine out all last summer. Doesn't get as hot here. There are grommets underneath to attach a bungee cord to. Quite happy.

I agree w/ Kevin Takas. It has electronics inside it which are the controlling parts. If they were to get damaged by weather, the entire thing would not function. So it is not weather resistant, and designed to be operated in a sheltered area.

John, yes and no . It works fine in cold temps (that isthe purpose, after all!) and no it does not need to be changed for summer. I've had mine in over a year, does the trick, easy install. Kb

Yes it can. That is exactly how mine is installed. I had to hire someone to install it for me but he did a great job. I have had this air conditioner through one Texas summer and it has done great. I bought this to supplement my central unit and it has actually reduced my electricity billl.

I think it would work fine in Florida during Spring/Summer. We live in New York State and I use it preventively in Mid June and continue to Frost

Yes.I purchased the thermostat.I to live in fla.the unit runs all day in the summertime. The thermostat gets used in the other seasons when it's not so hot.
