How long does it take for water to naturally heat in a pool to an acceptable degree for swimming when you first fill your pool?

Answer 1

Actually depending on the weather, the pool can heat up in a few hours.

It depends on the depth of the pool, the contours, length of sun exposure, and latitude. For example, a round kiddie pool 8 inches deep and 4 feet in diameter heats up to 90 degrees F. in about 2 hours in full sun. From this example, if you want to, you can figure out the rough dimensions of your pool and the volume of water in it with simple math.

Anecdotally, it takes my backyard/in-ground pool about 1 week to heat up to swimming temps (75+ degrees) providing the highs remain at 90 degrees F. or better and the night time temps don't fall below 60 degrees.

Answer 2

This would depend to a great degree (pardon the pun) on the size of the pool and the BTU rating of the heater. However, I have an 18' X 36' pool (about 25,000 Imperial gallons) and my gas heater raises the temperature at a rate of about 1/2 degree per hour.

This is not really an answer but will maybe give you some more info. Say current pool temp = 60 degrees - it takes my 10k gallon pool about 12 hours to come from completely too cold to swim to a nice baby's bath. Gas heater.

Answer 3

Do you struggle when trying to choose a color for your home because you love them all? Or maybe you’re at the other end of the spectrum; you loved red so much last year you bought a sofa and a love seat in it and now you’re sick of it? Either way, you want color, but your approach doesn’t seem to be working.

Creating a neutral canvas to which you can add color at your whim is a simple task and one you can do yourself.

1. Think of your biggest furnishings like the sofa and upholstered living room chairs as a canvas. Purchase or have them recovered in a neutral fabric like black, white, ivory, gray or beige.

2. Keep all accent furniture in neutral wood finishes or metals with neutral upholstery if applicable.

3. Paint walls and ceilings in a neutral of the same tones as above, if you like you can paint one accent wall (as this will be easier to redo when you change colors than to paint the whole room.) Visit your local home improvement store to get an idea of the neutrals that are available—options are practically endless.

4. Purchase an area rug in tone on tone whites or beige on beige for a neutral base.

5. Cover windows in neutral-toned roman shades, shutters or drapery side panels. Textured tone on tone fabrics work well on windows of all kinds.

6. Add color to your heart’s content. Place colorful bowls and vases on the coffee table. Brightly colored lamps go on end tables and sofa tables. Hang art in brilliant hues to reflect your love of color. Bring in outside plants for lots of greenery. Throw pillows in different colors on sofa and chairs.

You can now change out the colors from season to season or whenever you get the urge. You’ll never be bored with a neutral décor, when you know how to use your love of color to your advantage.

Answer 4

About 1 to 2 hours after the sun comes up.

Answer 5

Heat added = (weight of water in kg) x (840) x (change in temperature in Kelvin or Celsius) Take the heat needed and divide by the converted rate of heat transfer. I

Answer 6

It depends on the temperature outside. If it was about 90 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 days straight then it would most - likely be warm in about 14 hours.
