Is there a reason why one couldn't run this unit to heat a 3700 gal. inground pool?

I think you meant 37,000 gals. I am not sure, but I feel you may want a much larger unit. It works great with my 14,000 gal pool.

No reason I know of. We use it on a 7000 gallon above ground pool and it keeps up easily.

Yes, but you may find it a little costly to plumb in an oversize gas line especially if you go with the larger sized heater. You also need to make sure your pool pump is large enough for the flow rate required. It usually takes 1 HP or more.

I would not suggest it. Few things. 1.) There are three heating "silos" within the unit one for each breaker. So one "silos" wouldn't be doing anything unless you got fancy with the wiring. 2.) I think the device uses only as many breakers as it needs, so if the water is unusually warm I can see it only pulling power from one breaker until it hits the set temperature. If the water is unusually cold it will pull from all three until it hits the set temperature. 3.) I do not believe the wiring within the unit is rated for 6-2 so you would probably mess something up.

Sorry no idea. We run off of a 500 gal. tank. Suggest you contactB & S directly- their engineering dept. will be able to answer.

My home is 1600 sq ft. I have a 4 Ton a/c, + 4,000 watt condenser running 24/7, plus a 1 horse-1500 watt pump running my pool filter 7 hrs/day running during the summer months, plus two refrigerators, etc. running continuously, and it's enough. I have hot water heat, not electric. My husband said you need to do a load calculation and give more information, i.e, do you have central a/c, is your heat electric? etc., in order to give you an adequate answer. Best regards, Sprity

I tried that, you need many many more than 400. At least a 1000 for this pool.

i dont think you will ever get more than 60-75 k btus out of this burner, and that;s if you hook it directly to you gas meter outlet with a 3/4 connection which is what this burner's inlet connection is. getting a bigger meter won't help. you can run an entier house with 2 cntral heaters, a stove, a water heater, and more off of a 250,000 cubic foot meter, and you can run them all at once. keep in ing a standard 40 gallom water heaterdraws about 38,000btus. this burner is defintley bigger than that. i would think it would produce a bout twice that, so 2X38,000+74,000.

Jerry I purchased mine for additional heat in my shop that is attached to my home , I also attached it to my 500 gal L.P. tank but you will need a regulator placed on that line , do not go direct from the tank with-out one !!! Note there is a slight smell , for the price it works great . any other questions contact me .

It would probably be better if you used a small electrical water heater. In order for this to heat the water, water must be flowing through the unit. It works great for our hot tub, but the pump must be running.

I am guessing, but less than 1 degree F per hour. I get about 6 degrees per hour for a 1200-1500 gal pool. Good luck.

I don't know. You might want to go to this pool forum, create an account for yourself and pose the question there. Lot of good info. http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/index.php?s=ee2d2100b4cb9a81ff1ca5823d1d8deb

We have a 12x24' above ground pool, 52". That's 9.300 gallons. Northern NJ. It heats the water with no problem. Just letting you know, this is our third one in several years. They only last 2-4 years. We have tried other brands and gave up. Now we just get the cheapest one.. (we take the heater inside every winter).

Wow, I can't imagine that would work. Creating enough current for resistance would most likely be more then the structure would endure. A comercial pool designed for the purpose would cost several 10's of thousands of dollars. I would suggest a cocktail and soaking in peace is a more reasonable plan. However, that said, please post your result. Have an awesome summer, best regards. Mark

I would definitely look elsewhere for your application. This heater uses a lot of electricity, and is not really suited to this.

We only use them for big inground pools. The installation cost can be very high. We charge almost as much as the cost of the unit. Don't use it for obove ground pools it's too powerful and expensive.
