they are formed above and below ground
Not much actually,a Mobile Home water Heater has the water connections going into the side where as a Regular Water Heater has the connections at the top. So if you have enough room above a mobile home water heater you can install a regular water heater no problem.However a lot of mobile homes do not have room above the water heater so your forced to use a Mobile Home water heater instead. Which usually costs about a hundred more than a regular one.
The minerals from above ground can cause cycles. This is very important.
Rocks with small crystals form above ground, because when formed under ground the magma makes the rock cool slower causing more time for the crystals to grow. Above ground the rock cools faster, because the air isn't as hot under ground than above ground.
It is formed both- above ground (as extrusive igneous rocks) or below ground (as intrusive igneous rocks).

As pertaining to what? Sizing the heater to the pool? Length of run time to heat the pool? Proper gas line run and size of pipe to use? What brand to use? How to hook the heater into the system? Natural gas or Propane? And quite a few more k
Yes, that would not be a problem..

It should be sufficient thru most of the year. You might want to check out any of the heater manufacturers sites for heater size calculations starting with the brand you have or have in mind or call them. By the way, heaters are not classified as either in ground or above ground -- the heaters do not know the difference. K

Heat pumps are the most efficient. And consider solar. It works well even up north and has no operating cost. I live in Northern Ontario. I am currently using a propane pool heater. Last year, it cost $70 per week to heat my 18 feet round above ground pool and that was being conservative. I heated the water to 80-82 degrees. This year, my husband made his own heater from a homemade outdoor stone fireplace. He placed copper coils inside the stove above the flames. This seems to work pretty well and it's heating the pool much faster than propane. Now it's not costing me a cent to heat my pool. I know of a British manufacturer of electric above-ground swimming pool heaters who has now been perfecting their designs for seven years. The company started with an individual making a heater for his own pool. Some people say they are too reliable for their own good! They are impressive and competitively priced.

130000 btu
No
The volume of a pool this size is 12,000-18,000 gallons. This requires a heater that can put out about 150,000-175,000 BTU/hour. No electric heater is efficient at that range so you'll probably have to use a gas or propane heater. You ''could'' get by with a rather inexpensive 100,000 BTU heater in the $600-$700 range, but you will have to plan your swimming in advance because it will take that unit about 24 hours to raise the temperature of the water 15 degrees. ---If you are lucky. Other systems can do it faster, but it will cost more.
They live above ground.
