If your gas supply isn’t at its limit getting a bigger meter isn’t going to do anything. You should evaluate your supply vs max use and see if it would matter.

I’m no expert, but a few observations. A couple degrees per hour seems about right but I’m sure you could buy a bigger heater and get a bigger gas meter and heat it quicker. It’s kind of like a race car - how fast you want to go depends on how much money you want to spend. Second, have your...

My granddaughter is 8 now and she doesn’t want to be in the shallow end any longer. We like the pool. We don’t use the ledge but we like and use the steps to sit on. If doing it again, I’d look for less of a ledge but really no regrets. The ledge is nice for getting in and out of the pool. I...

We have a fiberglass pool with a ledge and we have an almost 5yo granddaughter. I agree with your logic. It’s nice to have a place where she can get in and hang out, but smaller would be better. At her age, she’s already more into jumping in with her swimmies on than hanging out on the ledge...
