What coolant temperature do you guys show on a real hot day ?

[Rob04Mach1]

Just curious since I bought mine last winter and this is the first summer with it
(ok maybe it's not summer but Mother Nature sure doesnt know that the last few weeks in LI).

During the winter I never saw my gauge go over 165 no matter how long I drove it, during the spring I started to see it go to maybe 180 or so. Even on the long cruise to Montauk and back I was able to keep it under 190 (I have a second fan I can switch on if I see it rising above 185 and it'll take it right back down)

Lately it's been in the upper 80's low 90's and humid like a wet sponge as you Long islanders know. Today I had it out quite a while with the AC on and def having some fun, (basically made a few all out runs from 1st through 3rd). I noticed today the temps climbing to as much as 200 even with the extra fan on.

Dont see it as a problem and I know it's not just curious what temps you guys see on real hot humid days ???

 

[Rob04Mach1]

This is not a trick question, someone must look at their gauge and know what temp they're running in the heat of a hot humid day ???

200, specially after a couple of pulls with the AC on, is not bad at all. If temps come back down after a little while then I would not worry.
Most stock vehicles run ~220 as a normal temperature

Cool
Exact answer I was looking for THANKS

+1 Normal! ...Gotta remember its COLD in the winter & your car will run much cooler then as opposed to these hot spring days!

Ya Tim I'm aware just wondering where the bottom is since I'd expect a handful of days to be even hotter this summer than it was this weekend. (think the high was @94 yesterday)

I got to tell you one thing, I remember my (3) Gen 2 Lightning losing a hell of a lot more power and boost in the heat than this Beast. This thing NEVER seizes to amaze me, I felt like I went to the track yesterday after a few 1st through 3rd WOT Blast

The other good news is my pool has been maintaining 84 - 86 degrees since mid May and I've used it more in the last few weeks than prob the whole entire summer last year, (and it's only the first week of June )

Bad news is the best lawn I've ever had is burning like a MF no matter how much I water it

Off topic, but you mentioned your pool temp. How are you keeping this warm do early?? Solar cover??

 

[Rob04Mach1]

30ft x 15 ft x 52", holds just about 15000 Gallons and it's truly amazing how hot it's been. And no, no solar cover no nothing....

It really weird because I use to have a little round pool in a different spot in my yard and it never got as warm, amof it was always cold. This time I put it all the way at the end of my yard and without any planning it worked out that it literally bakes in the sun from Sun up to just @ 5:30 PM (I lose the sun in the neighbors tree at that time)

I did re do the entire pool this year and I installed soft walls and a soft floor, (and the thickest Liner I could fine). They claim that helps maintain the temp but I think it's more the fact it bakes in the sun for at least 10 hours a day ??

if you never used the soft walls and floor I can tell you this, I will NEVER not use them again, they make the feel much better and it does appear as though it works as a insulator...

Mine stays right about 170-180.

My pool is a 21,000 gallon L shape and i keep her at 86 with no cover. I bit the bullet and bought a hospitality grade Heat Pump. Its amazing. Costs next to nothing to run and uses zero gas. Its basically a reverse cycle central air conditioner.

...Funny...This thread went from Car Temps to POOL temps!!!

Dam thats cool
Actually up to a month ago I never saw mine go over that either, do you guys get the 90's and humidity in Niagara ?

BTW
I work for NY's largest Plumbing Supply and we sell heat pumps and all types of pool heaters. You'd think after all these years I'd have one
(all I have is an above ground pool so I never bothered, but maybe I should)

Hey I know I'll edit my Thread Title to say, What pool temperature do you guys show on a real hot day ?

(good thing pic's dont show all the wrinkles on the bottom but hey I never claimed to be a pro liner installer)

 

[Timspony]

^^ That looks nice & relaxing Rob!!!

Do you have a link for that heater?
