Pool Heating

Yes, buy the closest size to your shape of pool, roll it out onto pools surface and trim to fit as closely as possible .

The overheat switch on a Lars Lite 2 pool heater is typically located near the heat exchanger or control panel. It is designed to automatically shut off the heater if it detects excessively high temperatures. For precise location, refer to the owner's manual or the heater's schematic diagram, as placement may vary slightly between models. Always ensure the heater is powered off before attempting to access internal components.

The convex (Curved out) nature of the bubbles act as tiny magnifying glasses that take the sunlight from the top and focus it generating heat that is transferred to your pool water. (Ever burn paper with a magnifying glass on a hot sunny day?) Additionally the airs space created is also an induction barrier preventing and exchange of heat and cold from water to air and visa-verse.

Where can we rent a pool heater for our inground pool. We're moving in a few months and don't want to buy a new one... We live in St. Petersburg, Fl. area

Max Temp went out of business

Someone has a link to the manual posted already at troublefreepool.com. That is how I got a copy!

yes, but you will probably have to customize the pipe setup a bit, and probably upgrade the pump.

In order to reduce electricity consumption (and potentially reduce electricity expenses) it is advisable to turn off pool-heaters until the time at which the pool is to be used.

So as to have a pool at a suitable swimming temperature, it would be advisable to turn on the heater a number of hours before you intend to swim in the pool. A more amount of time your pool takes to heat thoroughly may be available in documentation you have regarding your pool.

To set up hose placement on a sand filter, first, ensure the filter is connected to the pool's plumbing system. Attach the inlet hose from the pool pump to the filter's inlet port, which is typically located at the top. Next, connect the outlet hose from the filter's outlet port to the return line that leads back to the pool. Finally, ensure all connections are secure and check for any leaks before starting the system.

Step1: Set the gas-control knob to the Off position and turn the thermostat to its lowest setting (typically clockwise in both cases). Wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear. If after 5 minutes you smell gas, do not proceed. Call the utility company for immediate service.

Step2: Open or remove the outer and inner access covers for the burning chamber using a wrench or pliers. Use a flashlight to locate the end of the pilot-light tube that extends from the gas-control valve into the burning chamber. Adjust your position so you can comfortably reach this point with a wooden match and see what you are doing.

Step3: Turn the control knob to the pilot position and immediately hold a match near the end of the pilot-light tube. Depress and hold the reset button on the gas-control valve (see illustration). Remove the match as soon as the pilot lights, but keep the button depressed for about a minute.

Step4: If the pilot does not remain lighted, repeat all these steps. Otherwise, turn the gas cock on the control valve to the On position, set the thermostat to the desired temperature and replace the access panels.

It really depends on what the indoor pool's components look like, first and foremost being the pump motor. If the pump is 12V DC (or multiples of that...), you are in business, because a 12V solar power system is very straightforward to design and implement, as you don't need an inverter.

If it's not (110/220 AC), then you're going to have a harder time, as you will likely need to buy an inverter powerful enough to run the pump and have a safety margin.

If you just wish the pump to operate when there is sunshine, then all you need to do is put a large enough solar panel with the correct voltage output (or stepped up to 220 with an inverter if need be) onto the pump.

But, ideally, you should get an expert to size up your system, as they can ask the sort of questions about what you need and how you want to go about doing it (do you want it powered and running even in nighttime? Do you want to get a new 12V pump installed? Are there other components in the pool that need powering? What safety mechanisms are needed? How thick should the wire be? How many panels do you need installed?)

The ideal health club pool temperature typically ranges from 78°F to 82°F (25.5°C to 27.7°C). This temperature range is comfortable for lap swimming and water aerobics while also accommodating recreational swimming. For therapy pools, the temperature may be set higher, around 86°F to 90°F (30°C to 32°C), to provide warmth and relaxation for therapeutic exercises. It's essential to maintain consistent temperatures to ensure a pleasant experience for all users.

You can vacuum a salt water pool the same way you would a non salt water pool. If you are vacuuming on the filter setting, your filter will help to clean the debris out of the pool. If you are dealing with a very dirty pool and use the waste setting, you will be wasting some of the water from the pool in the process. Depending on how much water you take out and need to refill, you will most likely need to add some salt back in to get your salt level back to normal operating levels.

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.

Surely - it is just an addition to your existing system... could be gas, oil, solar or electric

A millivolt pool heater has a standing pilot (meaning it is always lit). This uses a small amount of energy as well as it can attract bugs and vermine to its warmth. Millivolt heaters are considered older technology. Electronic ignition heaters have electronics that allow the pilot to be lit only just when you are starting the heater. These electronic componants usually also allow for self-diagnostic features on most heaters. This is considered newer technology and is the direction the industry is moving in. Millivolt heaters are usually slightly less expensive and are easier to work on mechanically, but electronic heaters are becoming more popular and technicians are learning to work on them more and more and they will soon replace Millivolt heaters. You can find great deals and free shipping on both Millivolt and Electronic ignition heaters and more information at www.swimmingpoolsetc.com!

Solar pool heaters help the environment by using the sun's light in place of gas or electricity to heat the pools.

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.

They don't "create it" but they do promote growth.

cloudy water is due to bad filteration pump needs to be run for at least 12 hours aday . i keep mine on all the time unless pool is in use . i never used to and always had cloudy water a friend told me what to do now i have clear water all the time hope this helps you.

There are clips that you can buy in camping stores that are used for tarps whose round grommets rip out. I think these would work well. They work well for potatoe chip bags too!
