Water Temperature this Summer

It's been several years since my last post. New Home, new pond and now new question: )
I have about 700 gallon pond with two 500 gallon pond filters. My pond is 26 inches at high. Much more sunlight then my last pond. Though it has been awesome weather thus far, I know this summer in Louisiana the temp. will get up there. I am planning to use a sprinkler to hopefully keep the water cool. Is this viable? At what temperature should I start to become concern? BTW I have 3 Koi and a few goldfish on a two level pond. Top pond is about 250 gallons. Really appreciate your suggestions.
