Yes, like a tunnel, and the other end is open high ceiling. I was thinking I could roll up the cover down at that end for the lap portion, then figure out something handy for the open pool part. Like you said, if it is easy, it will be both simple to open and close the pool for periods of no...

Yes, the home was used by several non-profits for gatherings, as the owner was quite active in several.

Thanks Rich. What is your cover material, insulated? My plan would be, when not using the pool for extended periods; 1.) cover it with an insulated material, 2.) shut down its heat, 3.) match room heat with best humidity control. I would figure out the warm-up time, and plan accordingly...

Thanks Dave, I hope to both benefit and contribute from my experience if/when we own this pool and home. Stay safe and healthy!!

I have a feeling you and I may have a one-sided dependent friendship in our future. Let's see if we can buy it right. Thank you.

Dave, the pool was not on the priority list, but it may become the feature that gets our kids/g-kids & friends visiting more often in the winter. The prospective downside of contracting its maintenance/service is not unbearable. I just figure what else does an old fart do to occupy his time...

Thanks Rich. At least you are dealing with Michigan winters, although the Traverse City area is likely at least 10° colder . So you are keeping the pool at 89° even with it covered? It would be interesting to learn which is more efficient, the pool heating the room, or room heated by forced...

Still have not received specs on the pool system, will post when I do, as well as pictures. I have learned it is 56k. o_O I tried to set up my preferences to be emailed if anyone posts on this thread, but it is not doing so. Pardon my ignorance, but could I get some guidance to make that work.

Thanks for the comments. The lap portion is 80x10x4 and the play part is about 40x15x6(avg) I will have all equipment specs this weekend. They just spent major $$ on mechanical upgrades, and a variable speed pump may be part of that. There is no evidence of moisture damage, no smell, no drips...

Thanks Maddie, like where you live!!!

Just checked back, and was surprised/pleased to see these responses. On other forums I frequent, an email is sent to me if someone responds to my post, and even a thread of your interest. Regardless, thank you so much for your interest. The boiler is natural gas, but I do not know its size...

New and Green here. We are looking at a home to purchase in Northern Michigan which has a quite large indoor lap pool, which is not on our "must have" list. We have no experience with pool operation and maintenance, and neither do the owners, as they have it completely cared for by others...
