Is this enough for a 45.000 gallons swimming pool. Could it be installed outside

Depends I suppose on how hot you want the pool. WE keep ours at 83F without any trouble. Your location also has a bearing on it's suitability, we live around the Great Lakes. The heater is designed for outdoor installation, you should make a sun shield for the control panel as they will fail eventually due to exposure to direct sunlight

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.

This heater was installed this year and it works incredibly well. Couldn't be happier.our pool is to40,000 gallons and so I am sure that 5000 gallons more would not be a problem. So much faster than either of the 2 heaters we have had previously.

Mine is installed outside. My pool is about 30,000 gallons. The rate of heat increase is about 2 degrees per 90 minutes. A larger pool will obviously take longer to heat. You might expect 1 degree per hour, possibly less with a 45,000 gallon pool.

My pool is 25,000 +/- and is in the Northeast. I can raise the temp about a degree an hour and yes it can be installed outside and the fellow who did mine said do not cover it in the off season.

I believe for 45k gallons you will need the higher btu version of this model. Yes these are able to be installed outside or inside utilizing proper exhaust system.

Definitely not! It's just a plastic housing with a couple screws holding it together. If you were to put it under a plastic outlet cover or something, it might be fine near the pool. But it wouldn't survive immersion or splashing by any means.

Ours is off our dock in a lake and works like a charm - the temp varies so can't see why it wouldn't work perfectly for a pool.

Don't think it is. My pool only @ 8000 gallons. Probably need a bigger pump

I would have to say yes...I placed mine at the shallow end of my in-ground pool at a depth of about 48". Keep in mind that the top MUST be anchored to either a Wood or Concrete Deck.

It will work out well for that size pool. Just close the vents on the bottom and test water to ensure chlorine levels.

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!

It works very good for my 9000 gallon above ground pool. I start heating my pool about May 1st and the nightime temps in Washington State are still pretty cool.

It is more than enough. I have never experienced a water conditioning / filtering system that was better. I do almost nothing to the pool and it is pristeen and clean all the time. I wondered if the run time from the spec was enough, but it proved to be more than adaquate. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have mine installed outside. It's a hard plastic shell with a metal bracket to attach to the wall. It's a very heavy duty system. Make sure to get the unit with the 1 inch outlets as it will not affect your water pressure at all. Overall I'm pleased with the units.

This is made of a lot of tubular painted metal pieces which are bolted together.The end caps have plastic. I think that it would work for your pool.But it is not totally weatherproof. I would recommend bringing into a shed or overhang when not in use for it to last forever.

Do not know. From the reviews I read if you use it those pools you need to stay there and keep an eye on it.

No, it is not big enough for a swimming pool, it is only 8 GPM a pool would need at least 55 GPM. This company does have ultraviolet systems for pools.

I don't think so, my pool is a 18 x 36 and it does a great job, my pool has 29,860 gallons. I called a pool place and asked them what they would recommend, they told me 1 hp but I got the 1 1/2 hp. Obviously they were a lot more expensive than amazon, even with a pool company putting it in for me it was still cheaper. Hope this helps.

It would have to be a pretty huge aquarium. There are probably cheaper alternatives more suited for aquariums. This is a whole house unit. Installing it would probably take avery experienced aquarium tech and/ or a plumber

I would think so. We have been using it all summer on our 18'x52' pool and it work great!

You have to place the ozone 5 feet away from your pool. I'm putting mine on a 4x4 mounting it 1 foot above water level. Also I'm making a box for it so it want be in the direct sunlight. Haven't had the chance yet to put it up. Good Luck.
