I want to extend the pool season for a 18,000 gallon pool. How many degrees would this raise the temp?

Mine did not work right out of the box. This would have a hard time heating up 100 gallons let alone 18,000. Stay away

Very little. The main purpose of this product is to prevent freezing. I tried on 500Gal with no noticeable temp difference. I hope this helps

Not at all. It only turns on when the water temp drops below a certain temp to keep it from freezing

60,000 gallons of pool water weighs roughly 510,000 pounds a 400,000 btu heater running at 85% eff. would add approx. 340,000 btu's an hour. this translates to about 1 degree temperature rise every 1.5 hours of run time with your solar cover on, make it 1 degree temp rise in 2 hours without that solar cover.

Our pool was averaging 76-78 degrees before the cover. Now it averages 82-84 degrees.Hope this helps!

absolutely! We live in AZ and the winter is the reason we bought it. Our temps have been dropping into the 40's at night and, by mid afternoon the pool is still warm enough to enjoy.

Yes- if it is 70 - you will feel like it is 80 I think it provides a whole 10 degree HELP but not any more - perfect for Southern Florida if your pool is not heated. It has held up very well also.

Our pool is only 18ft and it works well for our size, but I have no way of knowing if it would generate enough warmth for a 24ft pool. You could try using one panel and if it doesn't keep the water temp comfortable, you could add another panel, but that obviously takes up more space and more money. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

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.

We installed the HP50TA on an above ground pool. The pool is 8000 gallons and the unit will raise the temp about a degree an hour for us.

This will probably work for you, we have a hot tub that it heats when at full strength (104 degrees), you wouldn't have to turn it up very high for a baptismal pool, you could probably go with something smaller if you want to save some money.

Our pool is 83 degrees and makes entering the pool easier. I believe that you would be too warm. Also the air temperature when you shoulders are out of the water can make a difference. If the sun is out you can be very warm.

I don't know how many degrees it warms it up I just know it works. I think when we first filled up pool that our thermometer said the temperature was 75. After covered for a day in the sun the water temp rose to the 80s. After a couple of days we have a constant 90 to 92 degree water temp pool. Now, it will fluctuate if it is cloudy or if the cover is off for more than a day. We over our cover!

I don't have an exact number in terms of how much gas but I can say that it is a large and efficient unit. Our pool holds about 28,000 gallons of water and it raises the temperature one degree in less than an hour. I have noticed nothing in terms of exorbitant in the gas bill. With a judicious use of a solar cover raising (and preserving) the temperature is fast and economical.

I have a 32X18 above ground pool which equates to 12K gallon.. Running the heater on one tank of LP (about 10 hours and $18) raises my temperature about 10 degrees in the chilly months. I live in the DC area and compared to my neighbors, I get one additional month of use both at the beginning of summer and the end of summer (May and Sept). I have a solar cover as well as a 4X20 solar panel that I run the water through most of the summer because the wife likes the water temperature in the 90's. Hope this helps.

Don't know your temps. I am using it for Aqua fit classes in an outdoor pool that is heated to 80 but the winter wind feels cold.

Depends on where you are located. I'm in NW. Indiana with a pool of 25,000 gal. They recommended a 250,000 btu for my pool but in doing research it was said that you can not buy too small. I installed outdoors and am very happy with the results. I can increase pool temp. by atleast 1 degree an hour and can maintain with a short burst daily. You probably should go with a 400,000 if I were you.

I have 2 on a 24 foot round pool and have to bypass them sometimes because it will heat the pool to over 90 degrees.

Our pool is 84-85 degrees, too. You will love this jacket. I've been wearing it all winter in the pool. It makes swimming comfortable. If you feel too warm, while doing many laps, just open the zipper a bit at the neck.
