Do you think this 95K btu is large enough to keep our uncovered 14x28 screened in pool with an average depth 4.5 ft at 88 degrees in Tampa, FL from May through October?
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/6/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Dennis R.

Dick - Raypak's Heat Pump Calculator shows that their 95K BTU heater would be able to maintain  your pool at 88 degrees in Tampa from May to October with 1.5-2.5 MPH winds. You should be able to change some of the parameters yourself on this calculator.

I may be way off base here: I want to heat a pool that has never been heated before. Is there something I should consider prior to looking for pumps? I really want to this within a few weeks time.
 Reply

A  Answered on 3/11/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Megan C.

When deciding what heat pump size to choose for your pool, you will need to determine the surface area of the pool. I also, recommend contacting a Certified Electrician and Certified Pool Technician for any fees involved to have the equipment installed. You will need to check the equipment area to ensure there is enough space for the heat pump and an equipment pad. It is best recommended to purchase a solar blanket or liquid solar blanket, to help prevent heat loss occurred during evaporation. Feel free to follow up with us, using our Support Ticket Email System to provide us more information about your swimming pool dimensions.

I have a 15 x 29 Fiberglass pool. I live in lower Alabama and thought this Raypak would do the job so we could swim most of the year.
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/26/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Adam Y.

This would do the job, But with Heat pumps they pull heat from the air so when temps drop below freezing this heater will not work and freezing temps are dangerous for the compressors. So yes this will extend swims, but when you get freezing weather this will not work.

Hi, we would like to heat our 12 x 24 foot, 52 inch deep above ground pool. It is installed semi inground. Tried solar panels, didnt work. Really want to keep pool warmer and extend swim time. We live on Long Island, NY. Pool gets sun and shade during course of day. We dont have natural gas and dont want to deal with propane. Would this heater get our pool to 82 overnight and maintain that temp throughout summer? Thanks for your help

A  Answered on 3/28/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Scott W.

Yes, that heat pump would be a great way to get your water temperature to 82 degree and is a great way to maintain that temperature. As long as your pool pump is on it will regulate the water temperature and turn on and off when needed. Very energy efficient.

Your pool has about 600 square feet of surface area; this chart shows you that you can expect about a .5 degree increase in temperature per hour of running a heater with 103,000 BTUs.  I think you would want something much larger for your location in the midwest.  View our guide on How to Select an Above Ground Pool Heater to help you out, and don't forget to get a solar blanket to help keep the heat in when the pool is not in use.
