Common Sense Tips on Economical Pool
Heating
1. The Best Pool Temperature...
as recommended by the American Red Cross and many swimming
coaches is 78° F for recreational and sports swimming. Be certain to use
an accurate pool thermometer.
2. Economical Pool Heating...
falls into the same temperature range. A variance of four degrees from 78°
F to 82° F could use an additional 40% gas.
3. A Properly Sized Pool Heater...
will raise your pool temperature approximately 1° F per hour. A heater
which is too small may increase your heating costs, by heating the pool slower
and allowing great heat loss.
4. An insulating Pool Cover...
in place during pool heating will significantly reduce heat loss. Use a
cover anytime the pool is not in use to conserve heat and chemicals and to
reduce dirt load on the filter.
5. Chlorine Tablets or Bromine Sticks...
should not be placed in the skimmer unless the pump is running to disperse
chemicals. Otherwise serious damage to the heater could result.
6. Chemical Balance and a Clean Filter...
are a must. You can save unnecessary and costly service calls by a simple
maintenance program.
7. Properly Adjusted "Eyeball" outlets...
will conserve heat. Direct the moveable outlets towards the bottom of the
pool for more balanced heating and reduced surface heat loss.
8. Prevent Excessive Moisture in Indoor Pool
Areas...
by controlling room air temperature and movement. Keeping the room
approximately 5°-6° F above pool temperature and maintaining air movement along
glass and walls will prevent condensation
9. When on Vacation for a Week or More...
turn off the pool heater including any standing pilot.
