3kw heater heating a 10 foot pool may take 4 to 8 hours for heating it up to 20 to 25 Degrees Celsius. This also depends on the outside temperature.
To have a chance of answering that one would have to know the amount of water in the pool, the current temperature of the pool and how much you want to heat it to.
i have a 5ft pool and have a intex 3kw heater how long will it take to heat pool to a good swimm tempature
no you need a stronger heater specifically designed for a swimming pool

Heat pump pool heaters use electricity to capture heat. As the pool pump circulates the water, it is drawn from the pool and through a filter and into the heat pump heater. The heater itself has a fan that pulls in outside air and pushes it over the evaporator coil. At this point liquid refrigerant in the evaporator coil absorbs the heat from the outside air converting it into a gas. The gas is then passed through the compressor where it increases the heat. This very hot gas is then sent through the condenser where the hot gas is transferred to the cool pool water circulating through the heater. The heated water is then returned to the pool. A pool heater on the other hand uses the gas directly to heat the water by fueling the combustion chamber.
Some pool heaters have an internal bypass valve that improves efficiency by limiting the amount of water flowing through the heat exchanger. These can stick so that water flow mostly bypasses the heat exchanger...the heater gets hot but very little heat is transferred to the pool.Other answerers have suggested the following:Your airflow over the pool is cooling the water even as it is being heatedYou may not be running the pool pump long enough. Is the heater not maintaining temp? Is the thermostat turned up? Is the filter clean? When was the last time it was back washed or cleaned?You may be using the wrong size heater for your pool and the water to heat ratio that your heater is made to work with may be out.

Solar by far, especially in Florida. A Solar Pool heater can allow you to swim all year long for FREE.

I am in phoenix arizona. I have a 12-14,000 gallon in ground pebble tech pool and a 400,000 btu natural gas heater. Would like to know costs to heat pool of in phoenix, with a natural gas heater. Please state approximate pool size, in gallons and if you heat your pool a few times a month or all month long. Obviously winter would cost more than summer.
The sun, pool heater, microwave, fireplace
It works this way. Even if you could set the thermostat at 200 it will not heat the water any quicker. It sounds as if you have an undersized heater. A larger heater will heat the water faster if your system can upgrade to the larger size heater. Your house will not heat up any faster if you set the thermostat to maximum. It is the output capacity of the heater that determines how fast it will heat. What dictates heater size is: the size of the gas line. the length of the gas line run from the meter to the heater. the size of the meter. how many GPM the pump is producing. the GPM capacity of the filter. the size of the plumbing in you pool ~ 1.5"; 2"; 3" total gallons in the pool. are among a few. Just common sense here...... k
