What size pool will this heat?
1495278
Sizing a heat pump for a pool requires the consideration of many factors. Location, average outside heat temps, exposure to wind etc. As a rough idea I would say for the average pool of 8000 gallons to a max of 10,000 gallons. Again this will differ according to the varying factors in the area where it is to be used.

The pool we are heating this with isn't that big, about 24 ft by 22 feet, and it does an awesome job. However, we were told that this heater is way oversized for the size of our pool. That's what we wanted since we will be expanding our pool next year and didn't want to have to buy a new heater.

Yes! This heater is large enough for even a larger pool than that. 400000 btu's simply means it heats faster! Watch out during the winter months gas bill will increase largely if your pool and pool lines are not insulated. Do your research!

I used the pool pump and that works fine on our 15 foot pool. But big mistake choosing the propane version, it uses a lot of fuel. If you can run a natural gas line to the heater, that would be the way to go. Also capacity is modest, but not the heater's fault, it's just a small unit.

This heater heats my 420 gallon spa ten degrees per hour for the 11 kw model. My concern about your application is that the heater is designed for very high flow from a spa pump and could be too fast for your pool. As I recall the flow is 60 gal/min.

I'm not sure however I would not recommend this pool. It is really small. I have small grandchildren and they only used it once the entire summer. Sorry!!

I really am not sure but you could try going to www.poolsupplies.com and ask them. They have helped me over the years. I hope that will help you figure out what you need.

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

My pool is 16x32 and I replaced a 1 HP single speed pump. Works fine for me, don't know how it will work with a bigger pool.

Hi, That is a large pool, I would recommend a Hayward Tri-Star 2HP pump or Hayward Eco-Star, Thanks,

Should work with appropriate size pools, and the same connections ... or the ability to adapt the hose connections.

Just buy the cover that says it fits this size of pool. Mine fits just right. No need to buy any larger.

The temperature here is in the 90's right now and the pool temperature is running around 84 to 88 degrees. I have a 8' x 32" pool.

Probably a little overkill, but will work. I have an 11000 gallon pool and it creates a pretty good current when it's running. To get the exact size you need, you have to calculate how much water a minute it can move, compared to the recommendations for your size pool. I just looked at the Hayward pools website for that info.

Sorry, my emails got buried... It should be more than enough to keep that pool pretty. Try taking a piece of 1.5" and 2" pool hose to the ports. I think this pump will work with both sizes. If they fit or, can be adapted, you should be good. Make sure there will always be continuous flow to the pump though. All the pump is going to do is draw water, filter it and push it back into the pool. I'll look around and post if I find anything.

My Pool is 16ft wide and 34ft long and from 5ft to 8ft deep and it heats mine up nicely.

I'd get the 14x28 if cost is a factor. You will not lose a lot of heat from the uncovered 1 to 2 ft on the short end (only about 5% of your pool is uncovered). You could always cut a piece from the leftover long side. My experience is that the cover stretches another 6+ inches anyway when its on the pool.

About 34' x 17'10" my pool is all covered with snow so I can't get a good measurement. I have some videos on YouTube (ken dee intex pool)
