would this model be sufficient to heat 70k gal pool

Our swimming pool is 25,000 gallons and it raises the temperature up about 4° a day. I am certainly not sure about a 70,000 gallon pool. This is our second summer using it and it has worked great.

I recall it was rated for up to 18k gal. I'm using it with an 11k gal pool and it works like a champ.

I have it on a 20,000 gallon pool and run it 8 hours a day for several years. I think it would be fine on a 25,000 gallon pol you. Might just want to run it a little longer each day.

Yes. The manufacturer says it is well equipped for 80 gallon and smaller water applications. The heater is fully submersible. It it about 10-12 inches in length so ensure that that heater core portion will be able to be submerged to adequately warm the water. You can also set the temp on it as well up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yes. Our pool is a similar size. Working well and we have saved $ on power costs.

Heating a 3500 gallon pool you should use the 18 or next one smaller. Heating a 35000 gallon pool you will need the 27. Keep in mind the electrical requirements. The 18 draws 150 amps. The 27 will require additional electricity that most homes are not wired for. Hope this helps.

My pool is a 4500 gallon and it worked fine. Just remember to CLEAN the system periodically or it will fail.

I use mine in a 10,000 gal above ground pool. it would work great. You can get the remote which is connected by a telephone cord, to turn it off an on.

3/4" should be just fine, it is not up to code, and you will get less than the listed power, but it will work fine to replace an 80 gal storage tank.It takes 52K BTU to heat 80 gallons by 77 degrees, with a 70% efficient water heater. With a 'first hour' rating of 120 gallons it is 78K BTUYou can get 79K BTU at the end of 100' of 3/4" pipe (or equal, with fittings). Code for this heater would require 1" for a run of more than 10'As a note, the efficiency listed is a best case running full power.

i use one for a 10,000 galons pool. it works very well and i have it operate for only half of the time.my guess is that it should work for you. you mat need to install them apart from each other

I found it to be less than satisfactory in regards to heating water for much of anything... I ended up using it as a Point of Use booster on a existing hotwater line after Plumbing a hotwater line to the point where. I had purchased this unit for originally. I hope that gives you enough info to come to a conclusion.

I would suggest that you read the Steibel Eltron literature to choose the unit (there is a sizing chart), and discuss the specifications with your plumber and electrician. A major consideration is the electrical service. You will need to plan on the electrical service installation to be done by an electrician. None of the units are just plug into the wall sort of thing. It is possible that your current panel may not handle the required service. the cost of the electric install and any upgrades needs to be considered. That said, we've had the Tempra 24 Plus in service for 3-years now and it is excellent meeting the needs for unlimited hot water at precise temperature for a 3-bedroom house. Do I want somebody to turn on the washing machine while I'm in the shower? No, but aside from that pressure drop and then lowered flow from opeing too many faucets at once, the hot water tempertures are maintained. Working well for us since we have variable inflow temperatures to the hot water heater since we run wood fired hot water based hydronic heating for the house. The input water temperature to the hot water heater ranges from 60-degrees to 112-degrees. The digitally controlled Tempra 24 Plus has three heating element chambers that kick on as needed to provide water at the temperature setting that we choose to set at 115. Very efficient even though it is electric since it only uses as much energy as need to reach the setpoint.

We installed this unit in FL in January 2013. The unit heated our 11000 gallon inground pool from 73 to 92 degrees in 70-75 degree weather. It did so in a matter of 24-36 hours. However, we found it to be too expensive in the power used. Our bill went from $150 to $1500, so we had to shut it off and now use it on a very limited basis. Unless your electric bill is not an issue, you should beware of this issue.

Yes it can. And may I say that this puppy heats my 30,000 gallon pool quick. 78 to 84 in less than 2 hours.

I wouldn't use the short model as you'd only be able heat about a gallon or so of water. The taller version would work better.

I have a7000 gallon 18x9x52 pool and it works very well. Just monitor the valves and clear debris from the intake strainer inside the pool.

It should work just fine. I use mine in a 1500 gal spa attached to our pool. However, the overall quality is low, not the quality of the previous one I purchased at a pool supply. But it is cheaper.

I would say no as it is a 240v unit. I don't think the unit would heat the water sufficiently.
