What Is The Best Pool Water Temperature?

By: Robbi Hess | Category: Blog, GeoThermal Energy

What Is The Best Pool Water Temperature?Chances are you have heard of Polar Bear swimming. It is when people take a plunge into freezing cold water – many times for a charity fundraiser or maybe because they just want the thrill of having said they did it!

If you’re a pool owner or if you’re visiting a hotel with a pool you don’t want to jump into water so cold it takes your breath away. Swimming pool water temperature matters for your comfort as well as for the water chemistry. If the water is too warm it invites bacteria and algae to grow and bloom. Water temperatures in the 85 degree range is an invitation for bacteria to curl up in a corner of the pool and begin growing. Sometimes you don’t notice it until it’s too late and it could happen because you’ve neglected to clean a space under or behind the pool steps, for example.

What Is The Best Pool Water Temperature?

Is there a “perfect” temperature? Not really because every person is different and every person has a different idea of what the “best” water temperature is. Most people who jump into a pool don’t want it to feel like they are in a hot tub nor do they want to feel like they’re taking a Polar Bear plunge.

Swimming pool and geothermal swimming pool heating professionals agree that a temperature ranging between 77 and 82 degrees is one most people can agree on. It is also low enough to be welcoming to bacteria. The lower temperatures are typically best for those who will be very active in the water but may not be as comfortable for those who are simply relaxing and maybe swimming leisurely laps.

If you’re looking for water temperatures that are higher, you should be looking into a hot tub. In a hot tub, the ideal temperature is typically 95 degrees and that is great for individuals with joint pain or arthritis.

To measure the swimming pool water temperature you can invest in a floating digital thermometer or one that attaches to the side of the swimming pool. The Symbiont Service PoolSync app has become a game changer for pool water temperature. The app lets you change the water temperature and its schedule from anywhere! You pull out your phone, open the app and have full control of your pool and spa water temperature.

If your family or your residents or guests at the hotel “agree” on a water temperature aka they aren’t complaining it’s too cold or too warm keep in mind that raising the temperature by one degree will consume up to 30% more in energy costs. If this is a concern, talk with us about the installation of a geothermal pool water heater.
