Would the fan be effective in the South Florida sun at the pool?

too small - this is designed for use at a desk, not in hot sun at the beach.

No. You need ten times the power minimum under ideal conditions, blue sky 12 noon summer sun to run the fan at 235 cubic feet per minute. A 100 watt solar array for year round usage, under all conditions would be better, in my humble opinion. Better too much than too little. The fan will just draw what it needs. The sun's power is throttled by weather conditions, and time of day. Good luck.

It will work, just not as well. The biggest robber of heat from your pool is actually the wind, not the outside temperature. So 4 feet of exposed area is not going to completely negate having the cover, but also not as good as it could be. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't recommend putting it in the sand, nor any other fan for that matter. It has a strong enough air flow to ward off small flying insects, including no-seeums and mosquitoes.

Not at all. First, even on high, it has almost no power. You need to be right in front of it to even know it's on. Second, in order for this fan to cool the room down, the air outside has to be much cooler than the air inside. If it's hot outside, it will merely bring that hot air in and weakly circulate it. I find this fan useful ONLY when it's cool outside--like at night.

Yes- if it is 70 - you will feel like it is 80 I think it provides a whole 10 degree HELP but not any more - perfect for Southern Florida if your pool is not heated. It has held up very well also.

I would think so, Dana, as long as it were located out of direct sun; I'd worry about the water temperature in that case. Otherwise, it should work fine for your purpose.

I wouldn't recommend using a fan. First I don't see any need to as it brings the temperature from 71 degrees to 76 degrees in my 160 Sq. foot room in half an hour on the low setting plus any draft or breeze has a cooling effect on the skin. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised at how well this heater works as is.

No, we were told that it should be fine by our heating and cooling installer. However, if it is a a lit of the fins, it can affect air flow. I would check with your installer to be safe.

It works just fine as long as the humidity is not too high. Much more comfortable than just a fan! I fill it with the hose when we use it on the patio, makes filling it up easy.

Hi---this fan has three speed settings, so depending on your need, this could be just right. On extra hot days, you might want to use the higher settings. Also, you can tilt the fan so it circulates air above you instead of hitting you directly.

Hello! Unfortunately, this particular fan is not rated for wet locations. Monte Carlo does have a similar looking item that is rated for outdoor use. That number is #5WF42BK. Please let me know if I can help in any other way.Lighting and LocksBeth

No. Although we get a good breeze through our gazebo, I think the shade provides 5-10* of cooling.

In principle yes however these are very low volume . the object is to move the warm air and not cool it down over the distance. You are going to need a faster fan to do what you need.

I purchased this to be a strong personal fan for myself....as our summers in Hawaii are very hot and extremely humid. As a fan, it is effective. I never noticed that it actually cooled the air. Hope this helps.

No. The fans needs to be in the open. unless it's open in the back for then.
