Hello experts and enthusiasts! We are ready to add a heater to our existing in-ground salt water pool. How many BTUs do we need? The recommendations I'm getting are anywhere from 90k-250k.
We are in Massachusetts, the highest summer water temp is about 78*, average is about 76*, we'd like it to be more like 79-80* from April/May through the end of September. Our electric rates are the highest in the nation at $0.48 per kWh so it will need to be natural gas. We already have 42 solar panels (max for our sun exposure and it's just enough to meet our needs) so electric solutions won't work for us.
15,500 gal, 14'x32' rectangle, 6' deep end.
Thank you!
