read the pool heaters manual.
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

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
Need to know the surface square footage. Length X width only. Then, need to know the size and length of gas line run from the meter to the equipment pad; then the size in sq ft of filter, pump horse power, size of plumbing. Is there a heater already in place? Ken
130000 btu
You should first make sure yuor pool is compatible with a heater. You will also want to make sure you get the proper BTU for your pool size.
You need to check your gas lines for the size of piping under ground. The size of the heater is all personal preference really, but its up to how much gas flow you can get which will tell you if you can get the bigger, better heaters.

400,000 btu's minimum ...pat What Pat is not considering is the size of your gas meter or the gas line to the equipment pad if there is one. If you are starting from scratch you still need to know the gas meter size and the length and diameter of the gas run. Absolutely critical to heater installations. Because of the existing gas line and meter you may be limited as to the size or BTU of the heater. k
24 foot round pool would be 24 feet across from the middle of the pool basically measure the diameter of the pool.
You need to determine the: gas heater size for the specific pool/spa (with spa use no less than 400,000 BTU). ( how fast do you want the spa to heat to temp?) length of the gas run from the gas meter to the heater pad. size of the gas meter size of the gas pipe at a minimum. Ken
