    Cost to heat not as bad as I thought??

    From what I have read, a safe bet for propane pool heaters is 1 gallon per 100,000 btu per hour. So a 400,000 btu heater would be about 4 gallons per hour. So your cost per hour would be about $11.56. This is at full on for that hour. To maintain a temperature, the cost per hour goes down...

    New Pool Build - Central Texas

    Thanks! The longest wait was for plaster, but being winter, we just had to keep our excitement in check. We really want to try out the spa, but have a few weeks before starting up the heater. PB will set up and monitor the chemistry for the first couple weeks. I'll need to order one of the...
