    WaveHeater- anybody have this?

    It's working quite well in my opinion: 1. check temp of Pool on my Bluetooth sensor 2. estimate how many hours I need the Heater to run 3. head to the garage, turn on pump, walk around to the panel and hit the breaker for the Heater. 4. set kitchen timer/phone timer to remind me of the duration...

    WaveHeater- anybody have this?

    I don't think it's limited to Intex. Contact David via his website. He was super helpful and we worked through the details of my strange situation. I bet he can help analyze your needs.

    WaveHeater- anybody have this?

    If you are running the heater and the pump stops for ANY reason, the heater's flow switch is triggered, and my GFCI 30A 220V breaker trips to the middle position. The transformer gives the Flow switch a little help in ensuring the GFCI gets a differential to protect the Heater, the people, and...

    WaveHeater- anybody have this?

    got to juice it up last night. Passed all my GFI testing, flow action, etc. 8:10pm temp was 72.5F from my Bluetooth sensor at the opposite corner from my outlet 10:10pm temp was 73.9F same location Given the decimal reading might still have a little error, and I purposely put the temp sensor...

    WaveHeater- anybody have this?

    after an hour on the phone with the manufacturer (Dave, has been really great in helping me figure out my strange install situation!) going through wiring step by step, I had to reroute some hoses. Particular issues with the unit: 1. 30amp GFCI breaker required at 220V 2. he sends you a little...

    WaveHeater- anybody have this?

    thanks. I have a small space between the side of my Pool and the garage wall, and the pump/Sand filter combo barely fits, then I have the watertight conduit coming to the WaveHeater on the pool inlet side. Now I find out I need it on the pool outlet side. If I reverse hoses and twist the top...

    WaveHeater- anybody have this?

    I always understood that the "higher" port is for the pump flow out, and the "lower" port is for the strainer/skimmer in. What if I reverse the purpose of those two ports? This pool is in my garage, so no leaves, only the occasional vacuum for settled remnants. I posed that question to the...

    WaveHeater- anybody have this?

    thx, I know the math for heating: but inside my garage it already averages 72-74F in the summer, and 64-67F in the winter. I have found no other way to add heat so I can get year-round control. I figure a couple times a week, I can pop it on for 6-8hours while at work, then have a 78-80F temp...

    WaveHeater- anybody have this?

    it showed up today...a little bigger than I imagined from the YT vids. So, he recently made a change that the WaveHeater should go BEFORE the Sand Filter instead of After it. Is there any real reason I can't just reorient my hoses to use opposite ports from A to B? I am currently using the...

    WaveHeater- anybody have this?

    WaveHeater- anybody have this?

    still researching a way to heat my in-garage pool...and I find this exists: Amazon.com : The 2016 WaveHeater for above ground pools : Patio, Lawn Garden I did a search here and didn't see any relevant threads. Anybody own it/love it/hate it?

    Bestway (Intex?) AGP in garage, full year solution for heat wanted.

    been a while but worth an update: Garage steady about 75F, and so pool is steady about 67-68F since the season here means fewer heat cycles from Furnace. I am going to reroute the power soon, but my "WetRoom" design is nearing completion: So the PVC piping will be a framework for lashing...

    Bestway (Intex?) AGP in garage, full year solution for heat wanted.

    temperatures continue to climb slowly: just about 64-65F this morning and I installed a mesh network thermostat with a remote sensor (Ecobee 3) that will help me balance the heater vent>>pool temp cycle over time.

    Bestway (Intex?) AGP in garage, full year solution for heat wanted.

    I have finished measurements and setup of the first half of my "wet room" that will surround the pool and keep splashing and sloshing contained even when the kids get rowdy. I will order a custom printed 4ft high tarp-banner and put the print on the inside. That will be held in place through...
