Our pool is 90 degrees. I was ready to run to the store and pick up several bags of ice thinking if I dumped it in the pool, the water would be more enjoyable. My husband said "You better Google that." So I did. After reading the answer below, I put my keys back in my purse....Drats! So to lower the temperature of a 20,000 gallon pool of 90 degree water by 10 degrees, you would need about 8,750 pounds of ice. A ten-pound bag of ice costs around a buck, so cooling your pool with ice cubes would cost $875. (It would also add about 3 inches to the depth of the water.) And, of course, as long as the air around the pool and the bodies in it are warmer than 80 degrees, the water would immediately start getting warmer again.
