Is it Better to maintain pool temperature or raise it when you use it?

Hi there,
This depends on how often you use the pool. If you are in it every day then maintaining the temperature is best but if you only hop in on the weekend then heating the pool as required will be best. This is assuming you use a gas heater or heat pump of course - a solar system will just run constantly.
Using a pool cover will help enormously. Most heat loss is due to evaporation and a pool cover can cut this loss right back. In fact, using a pool cover will drop the cost of maintaining pool temperature by about 70-80%.
Hope this helps. Try http://poolheaterguide.com for more information.
Cheers, Brian.

What tool or tools would you use to maintain the temperature of a swimming pool?
You use a water heater, which may be electric or gas, to circulate the pool water through and maintain temperature.
Can you convert an inground swimming pool into a still water pond and raise fish in it?
YES YOU CAN AS LONG AS YOU MAINTAIN IT LIKE AN AQAURIUM, CHECK WATER PH AND TEMPERATURE DEPENDING ON YOUR CLIMATE AND TYPE OF FISH, ALSO YOU MIGHT HAVE TO PUMP AIR AND OR FILTER THE WATER DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE POOL.
How do you raise the temperature of an in ground pool with no gas heater cheaply in three weeks?
Try a solar pool cover. Blue or black is best.
How many kw to maintain a 90 cubic meter pool?
To keep it warm? That would depend on the surface area, the temperature you want to maintain, the ambient temperature, and whether any measures are taken to maintain heat (such as having a roof over it).
What oils can you use to stop water evaporation in swimming pools?
Here are a few suggestions out of the many possible answers to this question. Raise the air temperature in the room Raise the humidity in the air in the room Lower the water temperature in the pool Cover the pool
Why can't you raise the pH level in my pool?
Because you're a doucher with a pool.
Can you keep a bottle-nosed dolphin in your swimming pool?
Yes you can but you need to add salt to the water and maintain a certain temperature and have someone to be there to tend to their needs and feed them
How long will it take to raise a pool temperature by 10 degrees with a 250000 BTU propane heater and 30000 gallons of water?
probably more than one second
Should you use baking soda or soda ash to raise the ph level of your pool?
Use Soda Ash to increase the PH level. Baking soda can be used to maintain the alkalinity of the pool water. Just the opposite!!!! Baking Soda will increase or raise the alk. Soda Ash raises the pH. Muriatic Acid lowers pH. k

How many BTU needed to operate 30000 gallon pool at 80 degrees?
It takes 8.34 BTU to heat 1 gallon of water 1 degree F. Take 8.34 BTU times number of gallons to determine energy needed to raise pool 1 degree F. Then multiply by how many degrees you need to raise the temperate of the current pool temperature to the desired temperature. Example: 8.34 * 30,000 gal = 250,200 BTU need to raise temperature 1 degree F Next multiple by the number of degrees to warm, say the pool is 55 F. 80F - 55F = 25F. 250,200 BTU * 25 F = 6.255 million BTUs to heat the pool to 80 F. This does not take into account the loss of energy to the surroundings but gives you a starting point to determine the energy needed to heat a mass of water.
