What is so special about black-bottom pools?

Colored surfaces are basically an aesthetic choice by the owner of the pool. It is a myth that the darker the surface the warmer the pool. To illustrate, put a black plate and a white plate in the bottom of the pool. Remove them a few hours later and see if there is any temperature difference between them. There won't be. I've tried this. Water absorbs all the heat from the sun in the top 12 inches and never has a chance to reach the bottom. I have also monitored the temp. in white and black bottom pools that were next door to each other and had virtually identical conditions....no difference. Actually I have done this 3 times in the last 34 years to prove this point. Won a $500 bet on one them:-) Evaporative cooling is the single most important factor in pool temps. Every 7 mph of wind velocity doubles the evaporation rate.

Why are pools warmer at the top than bottom?

Is there an advantage to a black bottom pool?

No. It is purely an aesthetic choice. It is a myth that black bottom pools are warmer. Don't argue with me, I have proved this several times. Put a black plate and a white plate in the bottom of a pool and check it a few hours later to see if there is any temp difference....there won't be. Water absorbs all the heat in the first 12 inches.
