Hey All - Starting to plan ahead for Summer 2021 here - and this year i'm looking at switching out my Intex XTR 18" for a steel sided AGP.
I also want to get a pool heater this year, as the last two years have shown that the pool would have gotten a lot more use with one.
Of course - the decision comes down to Gas vs Heat Pump. We already have gas on the property, as it's used for our Stove, Water Heater, Garage Heater, Furnace, and Fire place. Additonally, the pool is probably only 30 feet from the gas meter - so there's a good chance i'll be able to branch off of that for the gas supply.
I've read a lot of the pros/cons of both heating methods - but I'm just concered that while the heat pump might be the more efficent and best choice for keeping the pool up to temp, our average June highs are in the mid 70s with lows in the mid 50's and that may not work out so well. Does anyone else operate a heat pump for pool heat near 46*N Lattitude?
Also - just for reference - we pay about $.25 / therm of gas here in the summer.
Thanks!
