It's our first season with our 10K gal AGP pool. It's only late June and the water temp is already getting into the low 90's. We are located near Raleigh, NC and our hottest temps normally come in July-August. I'm worried that the pool will be unusable, or at least very uncomfortable, during the peak of summer. I've been looking at chiller options and the Glacier seems nice, but I can't find any references of people using them with an above-ground pool. Is this a viable option? Is there anything else I can do to cool the pool down? I know some people use fountains, but that seems like it would create salt creep with a Saltwater pool.
Will Glacier Pool Chillers work with an AGP?

There is no reason you cannot use a glacier chiller on an above ground pool, if you can meet the flow requirements for the unit you are interested in. That may require a pump and filter change.
It also likely will require replacing your existing plumbing with PVC piping.

Look into a shade - can always remove it as the days get cooler.
