would you recommend it for Arizona Summers? temperature>110F. Would it heat water and make in uncomfortable?

I live in San Diego County and use the cover in the summertime. With our 70 to 80 degree air temps during the summer, the pool water gets pretty warm under the pool cover. We also have solar to warm up our pool but you can definitely feel the increased warmth directly under the cover. I would not recommend the cover for Arizona summers as I think you would be able to cook with the increased water temperature.

We live in the Palm Springs, CA, area and it gets even hotter than that. We don't use the pool cover during the summer. Our water gets up to over 85 degrees without the cover. We use the cover during spring and fall to keep the pool from losing heat during the cooler nights and to bring the water temperature up to a comfortable level during the day from the sun heating the pool cover.

It would be great for winter months but not summers. I live in Florida; it heats the water up and keeps it very hot. I do not use it in the summer.

I am in Tampa and put the cover away in May. Pool is 88 so no need for extra heat. I'll put it back on in October to get another month of swimming. I found the solar blanket only kept the temp up at night, it didn't seem to heat it during the day but that was before the pool got more direct sunlight.

I live in Surprise AZ and we purchased our last fall. Put it on and left it until March and we were able to get in the pool in March with no heater. We will leave it off until Fall again and then put it back on. It also helps keep leaves out of the pool all fall. I highly recommend it.

Why would you want to heat your pool to make it hotter in the Arizona summer?? The purpose of the solar cover is to speed up the temp of your pool after the winter so you can get in it sooner. Once your pool is 78 or so-that cover comes off.

Probably would make your water too hot in the Summer. I like it for spring and fall.

Not at all. It's actually very cool to the touch. We live in Arizona and we've used it in summer and cooler temps and it always is dry and cool to the touch. Perfect for beach or grass.

The machine works well in hot weather. Depending on the setting the machine will work for about an hour on a gallon of water. We really enjoy ours.

The temperature is based more on the temperature of the water coming in than anything else . The unit I purchased was installed on a South American island with ambient water temps in the 80's so I get 1.2 gpm of water to hot to put your hands in , If you are in the northern parts of US or Canada where ambient water is 50 deg the flow rate is going to be greatly reduced checking the local water supply for average temp is recommented Hope this helps Ed P

Live in PHX and house is at 85 degrees or so in summer and the unit has no problems keeping it at its lowest settings,46 degrees in upper 54 in lower. This unit has dual cooling systems and the area each unit has to cool is pretty small....... Not sure if humidity plays a role though. Hope this helps.

I would say yes. I have it connected to the outdoor faucet in the AZ sun. The water that comes out of the hose is very hot for the first minute. No damage to the hose.

i think it would be great for that... i used it at a baseball game here in the 100-110 degree weather and it was awesome so i feel it would be even better in a smaller less brutal heat area...for the price and the product positives it is worth it

Can't say that I know for sure but its certainly seems adequate. I wouldn't be afraid to use it for hot water. Here in California the hose gets very hot just laying in the sun and its fine.

Depends on where you spend your summers. It's perfect for the desert, terrible for humid conditions. I would say if you expect the temperature to be around 60 or below it would be light enough.

I suppose it could be used for that. You, of course, can adjust the temperature of the water. I would put a small towel under it. I LOVE mine!

I would hate to give wrong advice, it may be ok with the hot tub, the windows can be opened. It does get pretty toasty in there though.

I would not, we keep it to a 1 person use and rinse in warm water and put it right back in its container. My daughter uses 1 for tennis and my son is a marine. He was out at 29 palms 128 degree heat. He donated his to a guy that collapsed from the heat.

I have used ice twice. Didn't notice much difference from just using water. This is a great unit. i live in AZ and it has been 100 degrees the last few days. this has helped me keep cool.

It would get your floor and surroundings all wet....I live in Arizona and it is good for sitting by the pool on a hot day but i would never take it in my house....

We've used ours to heat a tub from 70 degrees to about 110 in an afternoon, so it should definitely help keep an existing tub hot. Not sure I'd leave it plugged in while I was in the water, but that's just me worrying about electricity.

Yes! Return it. I had one that leaked and they're not supposed to leak. I had no problem returning it and actually got a replacement the next day. Also, I have 3 of these fountains. Living in Phoenix, I like the water around 80 degrees. I left them on by accident during the night and it dropped the temp to 72 which was too cold to swim in, for me. It doesn't take long for them to cool the water down.

I don't see why water temp of 105 degrees would be any problem. The housing material appears to be capable to handle that water temp just fine. The pump works fine and is self priming. Very compact compared to others. Has very good pressure. Good price for a good pump.
