hi everyone, my pool has just been completed. long and exhausting almost 8 months.
we live in Central Florida and had a heat pump installed, I was told that it could be used for pool and spa and only take like 45mins to heat spa up.
we its been chilly here recently the lowes in 40's sometime alittle lower, we have turn on spa heater and it takes quite some time to heat, then after we use it, if we turn off spa, the overflow starts circulation and any warm water is lost in overflow to pool, next time we have to do it all again.
I am disappointed in how long it takes to heat, and we used to have a propane heater at last house, which was great.
we already have a large propane tank installed at house, we have gas dryer, gas stove top, and water heater.
my question is ..can I install a gas propane heater now after the build, would that be more efficient to heat spa up, then using the heat pump? or should I just try heat pump out for a while?
spa is a 7 foot round
pool is 16x32 4 to 7 foot deep
heat pump pentair ut 140
thanks for any suggestions
