Hot and humid as hell here in NY. Got me thinking, which is better, sitting in the pool all day or sitting in the nice cold A/C?

I go with AC. After it gets soo hot outside, the pool really isn't that refreshing. Smooth move to drain some water.

A 10 foot by 10 foot pool 4 feet deep (damn small pool) would hold 15,750 gallons of water. I can't imagine adding 200 gallons of "fresh and cold" water would change the temp by anything more than 1/4 degree.

I know when I pee in the bath tub, the temp doesn't change much at all.

taylor, keep in mind "COLD" water would take up less space because it's denser, so it would take more gallons of water, if it were "COLD".
