[RE-wrenches] Solar over a Pool

[Jason Szumlanski]

Tom,

Down here a little further south in Florida, many of our clients might
actually find that to be a benefit in the summer! Pools get bathwater hot
here and nocturnal solar cooling is a hopeless proposition when it's 85F
ambient and 95% humidity at night.

That said - I totally agree. Bad idea.
