Exactly, sounds like every other summer of my life.So, it's just going to be another average Summer?
Why would you set your pool at any temp right now?My AC is set at 80 and my pool is set at 90.
ERCOT cannot force thermal baseload to be built. Not within their authority to force companies to build power plants. And ERCOT did not decide to use taxpayer subsidies to allow wind to produce when electricity market prices go negative, putting more thermal generators out of business.ERCOT can choke in a dick until more thermal baseload is brought online.
Overnight lows are hard on pool water. The 4month baby likes bath water. So I try to accommodate her.Why would you set your pool at any temp right now?
Is it actually being heated in the summer?

Evaporative cooling is what keeps the pool water cool. Just like the sweat on your skin. We're around 70 for overnight lows. That all night on top of breezy conditions cools the water quickly. Without heating the water, the pool would probably around 70-74degs. Which is fine and doable. But it'll still have ya sucking the boys up. 86degs seems to be the starting point of getting in and not experiencing discomfort. Chunky monkey likes it at 90What happens to the pool water?

101! Yuck!When I was about 10 we went to California for vacation. My cousin was stationed in Oceanside.
Stopped in Yuma, AZ to spend the night. My mom says it’s cool to swim so I dive in.
I coasted all the way to the other side and jumped out. It was like bathtub water, hot. I looked up at the sign, and it was 101 at 10pm.
That’s the most disappointed I had ever been at 10 years old.
We didn't have a pool growing up.I thought you meant something actually happened to the water, lol.
We didn't have a heater in our pool growing up.
Was in Frisco many, many years ago as a kid. Went out for an early morning swim in the hotel pool. MERCY! I nearly walked on water, the pool was so cold. Took forever to catch my breath. And this was in June.When I was about 10 we went to California for vacation. My cousin was stationed in Oceanside.

It hurts. I got in the pool in January and it was 40. Instant brain freeze!Was in Frisco many, many years ago as a kid. Went out for an early morning swim in the hotel pool. MERCY! I nearly walked on water, the pool was so cold. Took forever to catch my breath. And this was in June.
We used to refer to this as a coincidence; the industry called it “coordinated maintenance shutdowns” but the truth is more likely collusion by the electric producers cabal.So 6 power plants just happen to go off line at the same time? What causes a power plant to go off line?
