I love being in my pool, but it gets really hot on the deck.
The poolside is all concrete and the sun heats it up to where my feet are cooking if I don’t wear my sandals.
I was playing a game online, and I had to watch an advertisement to get free play. Normally, I put the phone down until the ad is done playing, but this one piqued my interest. They were talking about a portable air conditioning unit that could cool the air around you, even poolside. I kept the ad on my phone for a couple of days until I was sure I wanted to learn more. I then started doing research and I also checked all the reviews on the air conditioning unit. Unfortunately, I found more bad reviews than good. The cool water mist helped for a while, but had to continue filling up the water well every ten or fifteen minutes. One woman said the cool mist just made it warmer because of the added humidity. She said the air conditioner worked okay if you were under cover, but it didn’t bring the temperature down as well as sitting under an umbrella. I decided to buy thick soled flip flops and then I bought a large patio umbrella that covered all my poolside furniture. I was protecting my furniture from the sun, and providing me with some relief from the sun. I will continue to look for a portable air conditioner for my deck, but I don’t think I’ll ever find anything for the heat, like my patio heater works in the winter.
