Aerators are basically a necessity here in the valley. Otherwise, our pool is like a giant, warm bathtub mid summer. Thanks for the video !
Yup. And thank you for the comment.
First year I had my play pool it got up to 101 and like you said felt like you're swimming in soup... Aerator helped dramatically it stays generally below 94 in July now. Thanks for your videos very helpful!

@@PoolSchoolercould this help raise PH? thank you in advance
@@-tu1lj Not that I know of. Soda Ash will raise the pH of the water.
Very good explanation for those homeowners who don't know about the aerator and when to use it. I am also in Arizona (Chandler) and I turn on my aerator Father's Day and turn it off Labor Day. That cools down the pool during the hottest portion of the summer. My pump runs at night, 2-5 AM on high speed, then during the day (9 AM-2 PM) on low speed.
That's perfect.
How do you keep your ph from constantly rising?
@@drewsenthused6079 In Arizona that's almost impossible, so we keep muriatic acid on hand at all times. I add about a quart about twice a month during swim season.
@@robertjoseph1592 If your ph is constantly rising it could be a few things: 1. Your water source is high in ph and every time your auto filler adds water it's increasing the ph. 2. The very environment of your area (vegetation, temperature, climate, dust, etc) and use (people, pets etc) can affect the ph as well. I have some pools that are constantly high ph and I add a quart of muriatic acid to them every week during the swim season to keep it in check.
Thanks! Found my valve thanks to your video
Great to hear glad to be of help. Hope you’ll subscribe to my channel and share it with others.
Great job Kenny! Learned a lot from your aerator pool school
Glad it was helpful. Hope you'll subscribe to and share my channel.

Thanks for the intro on aerators! A pity that our pool is not equipped with aerators, seems like it would be difficult to add it back (after the pipeworks is built)!
Yes, aerators are a good thing to have on a pool especially in areas like Arizona or Las Vegas where it gets very hot in the summertime. But there actually are ways and products made that create a water feature by adapting into one of the returns yes of your pool which actually work quite well. But the best way is to have one plumbed in when the pool is being built for sure
Excellent video thanks for posting.

Do you have a recommendation for a pool chiller or something to make my pool colder?
I believe there are one or two pool, coolers on the market. Haven’t seen nor heard much about them. The one that I saw a few years ago worked on the evaporative cooler principles.
Do you have a video on how to replace the aerator valve or do you recommend to get a pro to do that?
I'd recommend having a pro do it.
I am in Houston Texas, and I purchased a pair of these that attach to a couple of water outlets. The water does not spray a huge height, but curious about what your opinion is on these. FYI, I run these only at night, and here, in Houston, I am able to keep my water at around 86 degrees.
You'd have to email me a picture of them so I can see what you're talking about. Kennypoolschool@gmail.com
@@PoolSchooler email sent, thank you sir.
Does the pump have to be on for the aerator to work
Yes.
Hello, would this work in a humid climate?
Typically aerators don’t work as good in humid climates. I know most evaporative cooler‘s or swamp coolers don’t work very good in high humidity, but it should help a little. Maybe not quite as much as in desert climates though.
Do aerators, water features, waterfalls, etc increase the pH? What do you recommend? Isn't it a shame to put in a waterfall and then never turn it on because pH gets too high?
They shouldn’t.
@@PoolSchooler Reason I ask is I've been looking into putting in a waterfall and one channel mentioned the pH will constantly be too high if it's on often. So I looked into it and found some tests confirming like this one. ua-cam.com/video/yKEzakGiWsA/v-deo.html and a pool service example like this one ua-cam.com/video/KBzWb9sK_04/v-deo.html
@@johnnyboy3563 Hmmmm. Never had that problem in my 20+ years of doing pools of all types.
@@PoolSchooler good to know, thanks
Do you work in Phoenix/Peoria area?
Unfortunately I don’t. I’m sorry.

Where can I find it in a Pentair pump
Do you mean the aerator or the valve for the aerator. Neither is a part of the pump. The aerator is plummed into your pools return plumbing.
@@PoolSchooler I found it but it’s broken The handle
@@heysiarjona8410 So, the adjustment handle on the valve is broken? Usually you can still turn it with a pair of pliers. Rather than having to replace the entire valve (which requires cutting the pipe and bonding in a new one) you can simply use a pair of pliers to adjust the water flow.
@@PoolSchooler are you from Arizona
@@PoolSchooler because I want to talk you about it
My aerator dropped my water temp six degrees (in-ground pool in Phoenix area)
Awesome.
I was told to turn on my aerator because my chlorine levels are too high
Because it speeds up the evaporation process so the chlorine will evaporate quicker and then fresh water will be added to the pool further diluting the chlorine and lowering the level.
Why would you want to lower the temp in a pool in Arizona? I can only use my pool here 4 months out of the year you actually need a pool heater. Must me some polar bear 🐻❄️ thing
I know. It amazes me how many pool there are out here with only a 4 month (or so) swim season. But I've had pools that have hit 88-90 degrees during August, which don't feel refreshing at all rather like a warm bath. So the Aerator helps keep that down a bit.
@@PoolSchooler Understood makes sense
