  Hey Mike, we worked together briefly in the 90's. I've installed a lot of spray coolers on pools here over 25 yrs. I'm not talking about the run-of-the-mill 3/4 in. nozzles others are installing, but a 1 1/2 in. standard slotted eyeball located between the copingand waterline. Probably too unsightly for your needs even in metallic finish. The point is that they work to drop the the pool temp. to ambient air when operated at night. Volumne over the pool surface is everything.Those little sprayers just don't expose enough volumne of water to the night air to drop the temp. significantly.
  The Glacier might do it in a less intrusive (and spectacular) way. The geometry looks favorable though I don't have any hands on experience with the unit.

  Hey Mike I wanted to thank you again for the media connection. Now concerning pool chillers you probably know this already but all solar pool heaters can chill the swimming pool including our system. I do not know anything of the Glacier Pool Cooler I will have to check it out.
