So I have been a pool owner for 3 years and am learning something new every day. I am looking for some advice on heating the pool in Upstate NY
Facts:
Pool is 20x40 Vinyl almost 40K gallons.
East Facing so Sun from 10am-5pm most days.
Use solar cover
The water is typically 75-80
My house is the party house so I want to be able to keep the pool warm late into the evening some times.
I am in a town that has a deal for cheap electric < .040 KWH (the reason for my dilema)
My typical electric bill in the winter is 40 Bucks with the Hot tub running
When summer hits and the pool starts I run the pump 24/7 and the bill is about 60-70 bucks
Do I go solar because it's only a few degrees I want to raise
OR
Do I get a Heat pump to ensure the temp I want and don't have to deal with issues with leaks and cloudy days.
I found a scratch and Dent Aqua Pro 127K btu for 2750 out the door.
Any Advice is awesome
