I have been looking into different heating solutions for my pool. Some option such as gas seem quite expensive both in equipment and monthly cost.
Since I live in California and the winters are relatively mild I have been considering using the following strategy.
- use a pool cover to keep generated heat in pool
- use (or similar - I like the small compact size compared to a big electric heater) Raypak E3T Digital Pool Electric Heater | 18kW 61,419 BTU | Titanium Heat Element
- I have solar power so running the electric heater is 'cheap' since I have enough solar power generated to cover the increase.
Any feedback if this will have the desired effect... I want a usable pool from Feb - Oct. The low end of the outdoor temp is about 60 during the coldest months (Feb/Oct.)
