I have the 250k BTU version of that same heater, and it heated up my 30k gallon pool from 50 degrees to 80 degrees in about a day and some change... pretty much 1 degree per hour. And yes, the heater is installed after the filter before hitting your return lines.

Just opened last week because of some warm weather in Illinois, heated up to 80 degrees and had a pretty fun weekend. Should be in the 80s this week, but raining, oh well, it will give me a free water top off... Last year I was open till first week in October, but did not really get in too...

Ouch, that hurts...

Also in Illinois, and I'm planning to wait until early May to open. You should get a heater, I'm actually in the process of replacing my 16 year old Jandy with a new Hayward...

Apparently it was algae... ughhh... I guess I was being a little lackadaisical with my FC levels necessary for my CYA. The only thing I could think of was that bleach increases FC right away while cal-hypo needs some time. I would usually add my sanitizer at night shortly before turning off my...

Passed another OCLT this morning from 6ppm to 5.5ppm with no CC. Looks like this is a metal issue. I dumped acid in the pool last night, it's still green/yellow, and the PH is now lower than 7.0, do I not have a risk of metal components corroding? I have pointed my returns up to help with...

Well, looks like I am shutting down the cal hypo experiment and going back to good old bleach. I'll dump some more acid in the pool tonight and see what that does for water clarity. In regards to the calcium hardness which is why i made the switch originally, is it a huge deal if my CH is...

Thanks for the reply. I have not used any type of copper based products since I bought the house 2 months ago, just been following BBB religiously. The only thing that has changed is the switch to cal hypo for the last couple weeks, and I had to dump muriatic acid in the pool about a week ago...

Pic of pool this morning, looks like I have some SLAMing to do.

I am inclined to agree with you since the pool is just straight up green this morning, I'll post a pic later this morning. Not sure how this happened since I'm usually good about adding chlorine every day. I use the Taylor FAS-DPD kit like the most of you guys. Additionally, I just did a...

Hi all: I have a 28,000 gallon concrete pool with fiberglass walls. After turning an algae fest at the beginning of the season to a crystal clear oasis, I got all my numbers perfect with the exception of CH. I had some interesting stains on my stairs, and since that was the only number that...

Bought a house with this free form pool with a paver deck. The previous owner installed a pergola pretty close to the pool, eliminating a on-deck track option for a cover. Is there any type of solution for this? Am I also out of luck for a winter cover since the tension bolts would likely...
