The tables presented for pool heater sizing allow you to gain a quick idea regarding the size of the gas pool heater that you will need for your above ground swimming pool. Table 1 presents the heating requirements for raising the water temperature at a rate of 1 degree F per hour, while Table 2 provides for a rise of 2 degrees F per hour. As is evident, this simply requires a pool heater that has twice the capacity.

Above ground pool heaters are gaining popularity with consumers to extend the swimming season of their pools and to warm their pool water in the evenings. The general consensus is that the pool water should be kept at a minimum temperature of 78°. However, many children and the elderly cannot readily tolerate this but find the higher temperatures of 80° and 82° more comfortable. And then there are those that simply like the luxury of a very well heated above ground pool and maintain their water temperature anywhere from 84° to 88°. Read the rest of this entry »
HeartGP asked:
We moved into our house last year during the winter. It came with a swimming pool that we've been enjoying very much in the summer. However, the previous owner left a Stay Rite gas pool heater in the basement and we have not used it. From the original sales receipt, it's about three years old now. The owner said that it worked fine last summer, but we don't think that we need it and I don't want to pay someone to hook it up.
I was thinking about selling it and wondering if we could get anything for it?
My gas pool heater stopped working. I have reset the circuit breaker and there is electrical power at the heater itself. I have also visually inspected the wiring and do not see any problem areas.
What else should I look at? Thanks!
I have found a used 250,000 BTU Hayward pool heater that I'd like to use to heat our pool. It's a natural gas fired unit, but I'd like to use propane instead. I understand that you can convert natural gas pool heaters to propane, but I don't know what is involved. Do I need an additional part? Any help is appreciated.
