If you set pool heat pump at temperature above the temperature you want will the pool heat up quicker For example setting it at 100 when you want pool at 80 quick?

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

How much heat will a solar pool cover retain or generate?

A solar pool cover will retain about 90% of the heat. This percentage can and will change depending on what region you live in. If you live in the hot south you will find that your pool will retain most of the heat whereas if you live in Minnesota where it is cooler it might retain 5% to 10% less. As far as generating heat...well, keep your heater. A solar pool cover will generate a very small amount of heat but not enough to where you can give up that heater. The solar cover will, however, probably save you at least 50% in your electricity costs of using the heater. Now I have to go back to the region aspect of these covers again. If you live in an area where it is hot at night (80 degrees or more) you can certainly go without the heater but be aware if the evening temperature drops so will the water temperate and it could take 1 to 2 days for the heat to go back up to where you want it. I hope this information helps but if not and you would like to find out more you can go to PoolCenter.com where yo

Does running the pool heater at night save money?

No it doesn't, Night time heatloss is a big problem for pool heaters, as your pool pump runs it moves heat away from your pool, so you actually increase the night time heat loss by running your pool pump/heater at night. The most economical solution is using a Solar cover and leaving your pump off at night to prevent night time heatloss and then just fire up your heater when the temperatures begin to come back up to daytime levels.
