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.
i have a 5ft pool and have a intex 3kw heater how long will it take to heat pool to a good swimm tempature
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.
Around 90 degrees outside and 78 in the pool

This or some similar question would best be directed toward your pool heater's manufacturer. Do a manufacturer's search and ask your question there for a very specific answer.
I am a national lifeguard, working at an outdoor pool. Temperature should be between 74 ~ 80. If it's over 80 degree, there is possibly a great chance of bacteria growing.
I am no heat pump expert, but whatever you do, DO NOT buy a suretemp pool heating pump, as they stop working under 65 degrees. Their web site and literature state 45 degrees, but that is not the truth. I have called them about my new pool heater and they say there is nothing they can do.
Do you mean a pool that has a salt water generator? If so, any pool heater could be used.
To heat a 40,000-gallon pool by 30 degrees Fahrenheit, you'll need approximately 1,200 therms of gas. This estimation assumes that it takes about 1 therm to heat 1,000 gallons of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. The efficiency of the heater can also affect the total gas consumption, but with a 400,000 BTU heater, it should achieve the desired temperature increase relatively efficiently.
Your gas pool heater should have a BTU/hr rating for input and output printed on a placard somewhere on the heater. Look for the input rating and divide by 100,000 to get Therms/hr. Assuming your gas is being billed in dollars per Therm, just multiply that rate by your Therms/hr. to get dollars/hour. Multiply this by how many hours you run your gas heater and that's your total pool heater operating cost. Also take in account the time of year temp and wind. If your heating your pool to 78-85 degrees and your pool water is 60 degrees that would be an 18-25 degree temp rise. Your pool is exposed on all sides and this will bleed heat off quickly. It may never achieve the temp desired or not shut down and always call for heat.
no you need a stronger heater specifically designed for a swimming pool
