Hi there
I have a SPOOL in my vacation rental in SoCal. Guests pay me a $20 per day fee to heat both the pool and the hot tub. I'm trying to figure out a heating schedule that makes the most sense from an energy efficiency point of view and which is also convenient for my guests.
Most guests seem to use the hot tub in the morning and in the evenings. Currently I have the filter and pool heat running from 8am to 4 pm. If they use the hot tub in the morning before the filter has come on then the hot tub heats up reasonably quickly (15-20) depending on how much heat it has lost from the night before. If they use the hot tub after 8am, the hot tub temperature has dropped to whatever the pool was at and it takes a bit longer and "costs" more energy.
Does anyone else have a similar setup and is it appropriate and efficient to do it this way? Is there a better way that is more efficient and or more convenient?
Thanks in advance
