down side off pool heater(maybe off topic)

Installed a heat pump last fall. Just got my pool open last weekend water was 44 deg( 2 inchs of snow last weekend). Did my normal start up process a few lbs of cal hypo( I need calcium so this is my additional chlorine go to) and set swg to 20% (turn on heat pump as soon as I could). This year pool temp above 70 on day 2 after opening FC 1 and CC 3 OMG...... Set SWCG to 100% 24 hrs later FC 1 and CC 0 pool @ 78F. Went swimming in April total worth it but start up a bit trickier this year normal temps in the 50's for weeks. I know what to do next but just wanted to WARN people of the risk and dangers of heating your pool. Haha I love it felt like a hot tub slight breeze and air temp of 56F..... Also dont try to install and trim solar cover with 40 MPH wind gusts had to pull 3x 50 lb bags of sand out of the pool.

The advantages of a small pool with a large heat pump.

Please put the model and size of your heat pump in your signature if you will boast about it.
