Hello everyone!!!! Well it is that time of year again and I have fired up the heater again, looking back at my post I had figured out it cost me $4.40 AND hour to run my heater,and I get about 1.5-2 degrees an hour on my pool temp. I was reading up on my heater once again and found that it is only 84% efficeint, I realize this is about the best in the industry, but that is wasting 52,800 btus per hour on a 330k heater!!!!! :grrrr: My plan is to construct a stainless steel coil and place it above the exhaust outlet of my heater and see how much extra heat I can recouperate. has anyone done anything similar????? Thanks
