There are so many things that you and your family will need to think about when it comes to your swimming pool, but did you consider the fact that you may need to come to a consensus on the “ideal” swimming pool water temperatures? We say “ideal” because there is typically no one size fits all for pool water temps — it’s as unique as the people who will be using the pool. If you have worked with your Memphis, Tennessee swimming pool contractor from Advanced Pools and have a heater for your pool, you will definitely be doing some fidgeting with the temps to make sure you can please most of the people who will be using it.
If you ask any member of your family, chances are you will get a different answer as to which temperature of water feels best to them; it can be a 
delicate balancing act to try and make everyone happy. There just might not be a temperature on which everyone will agree but you may be able to come to a happy medium. For most people, water temperatures between 78 and 82 degrees F are ideal — again this all depends on whether you’re actively swimming laps or having a leisurely soak.
Without a swimming pool heater, you can eliminate all of these issues, but also without a swimming pool heater you may not get as much use out of your swimming pool as you would with one — these devices can dramatically extend your pool season. Having a pool heater allows you to make minor adjustments to your pool water’s temperature until it is at a level at which most everyone can agree upon.
When you’re talking with your swimming pool contractor from Advanced Pools, Inc they will caution you that with higher water temperatures comes a potential for an increase in pool maintenance and the reason for this is that higher temperatures impact the rate of evaporation and can also lead to a faster buildup of total dissolved solids. Water temperatures that are higher will also lead to a faster burn off of water sanitizer and bacteria and algae grow more rapidly in warmer water temperatures.
If you find yourself adjusting your water temperatures to be in keeping with the seasons, you will want to let your pool service contractor in Memphis, Tennessee know this as he may need to adjust the chemical balances he is using to keep the water bacteria free.
Bottom line: when you’re adjusting the water temperatures move them up or down by one degree at a time until you hit on a level that makes most everyone happy!
