Steve's Version of the Pool Cooler

This spring my brother, Steve, installed an above ground swimming pool for his family to enjoy.  Now that the water temperatures are rising, he has decided to build a version of the DIY swimming pool cooler.  His version uses the same corrugated PVC fill material and a similar rotating water arm.  He will have approximately the same amount of fill material in his design as well.  However, he decided on some design changes.

That's not a bad looking pool, is it? Seems inviting, doesn't it. Unfortunately, during most of the swimming season the water temperature is in excess of 86 degrees and often it is over 90 degrees. At those temperatures, the pool is not very refreshing and feels like warm bath water. Because of this, I spend lots of time and money maintaining a pool I am reluctant to use. There had to be a solution to this problem. Something that would let me reclaim my pool during the hot, humid, summer monsoon season here in Phoenix.
