Hi everyone!
We are so beyond excited! Our pool is finally installed and the company who installed it is just wrapping things up. Today we got the propane heater installed and I spent all day programming things and finishing my wiring. I had some headaches with the LO error because I needed to make adjustments to the pump and pressure sensor, but got the pump running at about half speed and things are good.
I am a bit shocked that my propane tank was at about 80% when I fired up the heater today. Water temp was at 59 degrees, and just went out and checked and its finally up at 72, but its used 30% of the tank!! Now my tank is reading 50%, and I am sure when I wake up in the morning and the pool is at 85 where I set it, it will be a lot lower. (setting it to 85 right now because we want to use it at night and its not hot enough outside yet).
I don't know what we will do if it keeps using this much propane. Is this normal? Will it level off once it gets to where we want it, and only fires up to maintain temp? We have never experienced this before so wanted some advice. We will be tying in the wood boiler ASAP so we can use our 52 ares of firewood to offset propane usage, but that will be a few months.
Thanks a lot!
