Can anyone give an estimate on how much it costs to run one of these per month if it is ran fairly regularly throughout a month. 18x36 - 26000g pool.

Can't answer the question because they lost mine in transit and it was never delivered after a week

Your location is going to have a dramatic effect on cost. Our pool is the same size as yours and located in Southern Ontario. To maintain the pool at 86 degrees from late spring through to early fall averages about $200.00 a month. Hope this is helpful

No, there's way too many variables like outside temperature, your heat setting, do you use a solar cover, shade, etc. A solar cover when pool is not in use helps save a lot of heat, especially overnight when temps are cooler. I recommend starting at your lowest comfortable setting and evaluating your gas bills over time.

I live in AZ and I wanted to heat my pool which is about 15000 gallons. Starting temp was 42, ran the heater at least 3 to 4 times a week. Got it up to 80 and my bill was about $300 more than usual. I also had solar cover on to help keep heat in. I have had trouble with the heater and have had it swapped out 3 times. The company is great with replacing parts, circuit board, etc but the cost of having the electrician come out every time has been expensive. But overall, we are glad to have had it, definitely extends our swim season.

Their website says "500-800 sq. ft. / gal." I am sure that will depend with the material.

like a portable heater-- 15 to 45 dollars per month depending on usage. If its 85 degrees out, heating water to 95 is cheap! If its 40 out--- heating to 104 is expensive!

Hi Charles....I ordered this cell and it works great for my pool. However, my unit operates on a 15,000 gal pool. Although I am not 100% sure, you might be trying to push the unit too much since this cell is designed for 20K. I wish I could be more help.Larry

Not sure but we heat the hot tub frequently from 68° to 101 and in Nov the pool from 68° to 89° and I haven't noticed a huge difference in my gas bill. It ranged from Aug at 24 ccf, Sept 24 ccf, Oct 24, Nov 84 ccf. The bill amount ranged from $35 to $85.00. Charged at $0.60280 a ccfIt heats up quickly also, Hope this helped!

If you leave it on the high setting it can maintain a warm temp in a fairly large room. I would say as much as 30x30 room. Keep in mind it will be running a lot and cost a bit in electricity. Maybe 50-60 a month.

it would really depend on the water temperture, air temperature and desired water temperature. Once the pool is heated I used very little propane to keep it at temperature for the rest of the season. I probably added a month to each end of the swimming season. I have a 25,000 gallon pool and probably used 100 gallons of propane for the initial heating - once it was at temperature I doubt that I used 50 gallons a month.

Im wondering if this worked for you? I have the same pool which is about 10,000 gallons- higher than the 7,000 it states. I read that you just need to look at how much the pump cycles per hour- was this one big enough for you? How's it working?

I have a 33,000 gallon pool & bought 2; one nexr to each return. I think one would do the trick. Operational 8 hours per day. These units work very well.

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.

I also have a 24'x54" pool. During peak season, I have to run this almost 24/7. I loved the system the first year I had it. Toward the end of last year, it started not working as well. However, I like it enough that if I have to buy one every other year, it's worth it. Saved a bunch of money on chemicals..not to mention headache!

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.

I am on my second Kleen machine and still have not been able to find a better unit for the price. They just quit working shortly after the warranty expires, or maybe three years if you are lucky. You can ship it back and the repairs are around $250 plus shipping both ways. I was paying $100 a month for pool service so I am saving $700 a year with this lil guy.

We live in central Ohio. I set the pool up in April and take it down late September. While it might hold up thru a winter it would likely take a butt load (that's appox 480 L) of chemicals to clean the water in the spring. Compare that to about $50 for fresh water to fill it. I generally spend less than $30 a year on pool chemicals. I also built a deck on one side so we can sit and enjoy seeing in to the pool. It's no help in cleaning. In fact it sort of gets in the way. I also have an over sized ABS plastic ladder and don't trust the index ladder to hold up well. I aho also say while it takes aday to set up, it takes about three sunny days to take down and its a two person job. However I only use my wife or kids for about 30 minutes each time

In C-mode, it will run until you turn it off, or until the filter bag becomes obstructed with dirt/debris - which will stop it from moving or reduce it to a crawl. If the pool is reasonably clean, you can run it all night or longer. A bigger problem for very long run periods will be tangling of the cord. My 18x40 pool is usually clean in 1.5 to 3 hours so I just take it out. This is a great (and simple) unit that works like a champ and has never failed or broke.

Funny you should ask that. We just tested to see how much it cost us to run it for a month it came out to around $80.00. That was to run it all day everyday to keep the temp ready for use at any time.
