What size pool will this be suitable for?

My pool is also about 30k gallons and I agree that you can raise the temperature about 10 degrees in 8 hours. My previous heater was smaller and less efficient and took far longer.

It should be fine for average sized in-ground pools. We have the next larger model and there is no problem heating the pool quickly. Variables such as whether you use a pool cover, the weather, or have a adjunct solar pool heater will affect your gas usage. Figure about a 4-5 year lifespan for this heater as the copper heat exchanger coils eventually will leak. It's considered one of the cheaper pool heaters on the market. Mostly made in China.

Take a look at the Manufacturer's brochure - It provides performance data in terms of pool size and heat-up rate.www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/mastertempDS.pdf

Dan, this would heat up any size pool. Our is moderate in size pool with spa. A small pool would heat up very quickly, and larger pool would take more time. You are putting ~ 250,000 btu/hr into the water, which is like 2.5 furnaces for a good size home up north. Once you get the pool or spa up to temperature, and it drops below setpoint, the heater will run briefly for a small pool, and a lot longer for a large one. THey'll pretty much keep any size pool heated, just depends on how long it has to run to heat it up initially, and then run time to keep it there. Hope this helps.

That's a difficult question depends on where you are located I.e how cold it gets when you want to hear it, I'm in Houston and had a 27,000 gallon pool and approx 1000 gallon hot tub and it was fine for both of these it that helps??

This particular size works for my pool which is a 12,500 gallon in-ground size. However, you should call a local pool supply store, to ask them to be sure, BEFORE you purchase. Good luck!

I am using it on a 18 by 9 pool and it works great it is more than powerful enough for the 24 round you can even run the above ground pool vacume off of it.

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

I'd think it would work great. You can adjust the opening to let out a lot or a little. Ours covered our whole pool (12x24) very well. It just may take some experimenting to get the right setting. We were really pleased with ours. Good luck.

The size of your pool should be fine. As far as the saltwater goes, I'm not sure since my pool is freshwater. I would check the manufacture specs. or call the manufacturer directly.

Should be fine but you must have the sand filter pump, mine is intex ultra 18x48 round with intex sand filter pump work fine. The pump came with the pool no power. Have fun!!

Virtually any size. The bigger a pool, the higher salt volumes and the gear's working hours daily to keep up w/ the chlorine concentration.

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.

We are currently using this filter with a 15' x 30' oval pool. Works great!

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.

I would recommend the AQR9, it is a 25,000 gallon system, that will be plenty for your size pool.

You would probably want a larger pump... 1.5hp. This one is great for my 18 round (7000 gal) pool. I was very happy with the quality and the filter size would probably suit your pool.

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

Its good for any size above ground pool. Only if its big you need to leave it more time doing the job.It is very helpfull since you have to do less work.

You would need to buy compatible connectors, which we had to do as well. The hoses are smaller on the 12 x 30. But worth the investment your pool will be pristine.
