What size pool in gallons will this heat and to what temp? I have a 12,000 gallon inground kidney shaped.

I have an 18' round, 7800 gallon and I can keep the pool at 100+ if I choose in WV. But I have free gas from a well and when not in use I do keep a solar blanket on it. I have kept the pool hot tub temperature in late October when it gets cold.

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.

can only guess but i think you need something way bigger...i have a 16 ft round pool it take two twenty pound tanks of propane to go from 69 degrees to 80/85 degrees...

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).

Hope this helps, we use this on a 4000 gal pool and I get 1 degree and hour, so I would say 5-6 degrees an hour roughly

Hi Steve, I actually bought 2 of these for my mother's 175 gallon pond. We sat one on the bottom of each side of the pond and set the thermostat to 70 degrees. During the evening, we keep to surface covered with that blue bubble wrap stuff that people use to cover pools. Even during the coldest winter days, the pond water is still close to 70 degrees. Her tropical fish and turtles are still doing great with this setup 3 years later.

Beware of your tank size. I use it at a 1.5Gal bowl under the gravel, room temp is 59F, with this heater, it heats up the water to 72F.

It's meant for a smaller tank. I found it made the water too warm and since you can not adjust it, I just took it out. I would try it for a ten gallon but keep an eye on the temp.

I have a 30 gallon nano and use the 300 watt version, I think I could have gone with the 200 because I have to keep the temp setting around 74 to keep it around 80 degrees....so it definitely runs hot

Yes, mine is a "kidney" shaped pool. You can cut it to fit, or like me, simply cover the whole pool and use weights to hold it down. The water inflatable weights I bought, however, were garbage and I need to find a new solution.

My pool is a 4500 gallon and it worked fine. Just remember to CLEAN the system periodically or it will fail.

This is a very poor heater.... I would not use it in any tank... You need a heater that you can set to the correct temperature for your tank... This one is a great disappointment. I expected more from tetra

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 just leave the heater plugged in. I have a gallon tank and it stays at the right temp range of 80 to 85 degrees. I don't think this heater would be good for a smaller tank, it would get too hot. I hope this helped. This heater is great... bought it over a year ago and it's still working.

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??

I have the 400, recommended by my pool guys. Probably has to do with the size of your pool, and the amount of water/ surface to be heated. We have had ours for three seasons now, love it!

Probably a little overkill, but will work. I have an 11000 gallon pool and it creates a pretty good current when it's running. To get the exact size you need, you have to calculate how much water a minute it can move, compared to the recommendations for your size pool. I just looked at the Hayward pools website for that info.

How big is your pool ? I have a 24000 gallon pool and only needed six of the eight hose's included, although I guess it depends on where your access is located in the pool. Mine is in the middle. So I guess my answer would be I do not know, Sorry!

I think it run about $10 a day if you got it cranked wide open. The up side is, I and bring temp up between 8 to 10 degrees in a day. It's a 33,000 pool(20'+40') . I you were just trying to maintain a temp a $1 or 2 at best. It the best way to go. The heater is very good, it lets you know the in-coming water and the out going water temps. I would recommend putting a valve in on the in let side to chock the water down. I got that tip from the factory. Gary

You can find a lot if info about this product at intex's website. I have a 24' x 52" round pool and I have to run this at 10-11 hours. 12 hours is the full cycle. I believe it goes by gallons but I'm not sure. So you can figure out around how many gallons my pool is and guess about yours. I believe in the system. This system makes it all so easy.
