Pool Fountain Extension Tube,Above and Inground Pool Accessories,Adjustable Height,for Above Ground/Inground Pools, Waterfall Pool Sprinkler Fountain for Cooling & Relaxation

I was skeptical at first, but this fountain works really well for my 18 ft bestways pool. Super easy to install, and it does help lower the water temperature by about 5 degrees. I like that you can adjust the water flow of the fountain and it doesn't restrict the filter.

To preface this review and after having tried a couple other evaporative chillers that were cheaply made and available in multiple qty these seem to work much better than the others for several reasons. Firstly they are much heavier thicker wall pipes & fittings that will last longer than the other cheaper solutions. They also have held up to use and abuse by kids in the pool much better without coming undone and de pressurizing the other return lines. I can also confirm these have 1 1/2 MPT fittings which is a plus when threading these into existing pool return or bubbler sockets as shown in the picture in my application. Since they are actually 1 1/2 MPT they also allow for more thread engagement into the return socket and a jacket that secures the fitting to the return socket. The other cheaper coolers I bought at best threaded 2 to 3 turns into the 1 1/2 FPT socket and that was all before risking damaging my return Threads. All things to consider when using this as a chiller or pool cooler. The design is also better in that there’s a relief valve that can be fully shut with no gushing water at the control vent when closed like the others if you intend to use this at a lower RPM and want to save energy running these coolers at night. As for the results when running this cooler at night on hot less humid days these things seem to work at their best. Chilling to pool on average 3 to 4 degrees vs the absence of them altogether. Don’t expect too much out of these and you won’t be disappointed, but 3 to 4 degrees cooler can make a huge difference between what seems like bath water and comfortable water temps in your pool. Also remember that evaporation cooling works best when it’s less humid so they don’t work as well in extremely humid conditions. Don’t be expecting too much when your humidity is near 100% like it gets to be here in south Texas. About 2 to 3 degrees tops in those conditions. 17,000 gal in-ground pool. Running variable speed pump at night for 6 to 8 hrs.

First of all I have to say this product is very well made. It is very sturdy and of much better quality than the last one I had that after using it for about the year fell completely apart. The only disappointing thing is that the vertical pipe to which the sprayer attaches is too short for my inground pool. It just barely goes above the water line, so it doesn’t really look like a fountain. The horizontal pipe is too short to really allow for a change of direction of the jet sprayer. I attached the fountain anyway so I have at least the fountain noise and some aeration in my pool, but I wouldn’t buy this product again as it only seems to fit as advertised to above ground pools, or very specific pools as it says on the cardboard box it comes in. My outlets are 17“ deep in my pool, so for me for this fountain to work as advertised the vertical pipe would need to be at least 2-4 inches longer.

I really had high hopes. Figured I’d have to turn it down since we have a small pool so the water didn’t shoot out the other side. Boy was I wrong. Water barely comes out of the sprayer. If i turn my pump to maximum i get about a foot of spray. This product does not work (at least in my pool). I wasn't going to return it just because that's a pain, and it's only $30 or $35. Perhaps my pump isn't strong enough, I don't know, but my pool is only a couple years old, so it's not that it's old and decrepit. Originally, I had this as one star, but I moved it up to three stars, mainly because of the excellent customer service. Unprompted, after my original review, the seller reached out and offered a full refund (I didn't even have to return it). So, I guess you can think of this as no risk - if it works for you, GREAT, but if it doesn't, you aren't out anything except about 5 minutes to install it (and it is incredibly easy to install).

Cool

Did not fit our pool.

This product worked great during poll season. The flow it puts out is awesome. Thick plastic with great durability

The couplings are 2 pieces - not properly connected - so the unit cannot be tightened onto the standard threads. it moves and jumps the threads - and it is all their parts. Easy to install, but very disappointing - needs fairly powerful pump; had to give up attaching it to the pool return lines - kept loosening due to the poor couplings.
