Sunny days provide the most solar heat to warm the water. So, no, do not remove the solar cover unless you're going to use the pool. And then put it back on when you're done swimming to help keep the heat that was absorbed during the day from being transferred into the cool air during the night. Hope this helps ... On a sunny calm (not windy) and warm day, you will gain more heat with the solar blanket off than on (since the blanket actually blocks some of the sun). On a windy, cloudy, or cold day, evaporation cooling may be greater than the sun warming effect so leaving the blanket on makes sense. Leaving it on day or night also makes sense if conserving water or chemicals is your main goal (reduced evaporation). Leaving it on at night or when the temperature of the water exceeds that of the air by some amount also makes sense. Leaving it off day and night early in the season when the water is colder than the air also makes sense (it will hold the cold in). Leaving it on too long (day or night) makes your pool green.

If you want to heat your pool you first have to turn on the pump because nothing works without the pump running.

You will not get filtration, circulation or heat.

Turn on the pump set the thermostat to desired temp range. If you are starting with a water temp of about 55 degrees more or less, you will want to run the pump non stop until you achieve a temp near your desired goal. -- Quicker recovery time with this method is achieved rather than running the pump a few hours then shutting it down until the next day etc.

You do not have to turn the heater on until you are ready to heat the water, some installers put a tee or bypass before the heater so the water does not go thru the heater many do not since the heater is on the clean side of the filter, some people just want a bypass valve their in case the heater fails they can keep the water flowing around the heater, Take the cover off, start the filter up, start vacuumimg, when ready add your chemicals. continue running the filter get your water tested, when you feel you are about ready too swim turn the heater on too warm the water if you desire to.

Put a 1 1/2 PVC pipe down the middle of the cover . Attach it to the cover with stainless bolts ,nuts, washers. Put an elbow on one end so you turn the pipe. The cover will roll up quickly in the water . I would recommend a thin cover to make it easier to roll

Yes without a doubt they work, but depending on your situation. First let me explain how solar blankets work. The blanket is tinted blue and has air pockets it looks like the bubble packing material that everyone loves to pop, but you cannot pop this material because it is between 8-12 mils thick. The blanket is designed to do 2 things, first is heat the pool water by absorbing sunlight that heats the blanket. The water in turn cools the blanket. As this occurs the heat of the blanket is exchanged with the pool water. The more sunlight the pool gets the faster the pool will heat. On average with full sun you can expect a degree a day so in about 7-10 days you will have about a 10-degree increase. The other thing a solar blanket does is trap heat in the pool water. At night when it gets cool the pool water will begin to condense out of the pool that is the fog you see rising from the pool, this draws the heat out of the water. The solar blanket bocks this from happening so all that heat you built up will stay in the pool. So you get the heating during the day (the solar part of the equation) and you get the thermal protection at night (the blanket part of the equation). If you don't get much sun on the pool the blanket will not heat the pool. So the bottom line is no sun on the pool no heating effect from the blanket. Sun on the pool for at least 5+ hours you will get heat! If you have a heater on the pool, regardless of they type of heater, you will want a solar blanket to trap the heat in the pool. If you are using gas or electric heat the blanket should cut your heating cost in half. If you are using a solar panel you will need it to trap the heat in other wise you may not be able to maintain the temperature when it gets real cold. == Solar Cover Yes not only do they keep heat in your water they keep chemicals in also. During hot days they do heat the water. HOWEVER, in my opinion depending on how large your pool is you may find that dealing with this giant piece of bubble wrap is just too much work. The pool is supposed to be fun and I must say rolling it out, rolling it back up took so much work for me it just wasn't worth it.

so that the room get's conversation from the warmth given in changing rooms.

The most economical way to heat an inground pool is to use a solar pool heater. Solar heaters provide a cheap efficient and eco-friendly way to warm up your pool. Here are some of the benefits of using a solar pool heater:

• Inexpensive to install and maintain
• No need to run electricity
• Heat pumps can be used to supplement the solar heater
• No emissions

A solar pool heater typically consists of a series of tubes or panels that are installed on the roof or ground depending on the design. Water is pumped through the tubes which are heated by the suns rays. The heated water is then returned to the pool thus raising the temperature of the water. In addition to using a solar pool heater you can also consider using a pool cover to keep the heat in and reduce evaporation.

Down, if you hope to heat your pool with it the bubbles (in theory) will heat up from the flat side. As there is more surface area from the bubbled side more heat (energy) will transfer to the water. I've never read any studies myself but I've read differing opinions from people in other posts. Some state the the solar cover actually blocks the sun and less heat is transfered on sunny days and that it is more beneficial to use take the cover off. Personally I find that if you leave the cover on when not using the pool, except when it's raining, the temperature stays the highest. Ensuring the cover is clean and there is no standing water on top of the cover really helps.

You should call the manufacturer. Pentair is 800-831-7133 and Hayward is 866-429-7665. Jandy, Zodiac, is 800-822-7933. There are typical sizes i could give you, but it's gonna be very upsetting if you need to rerun piping because of low pressure.

Picture, if you will, the reel system out over one end of the pool by about 6 - 8' from one end and straddling the width of the pool. With the straps coming down from the tubing to the cover at that 6' to 8' area directly below the reel tubing. When you are ready to roll up the cover it should reel up onto the reel from both directions of each end of the pool. It is a bit tricky to do but works great when done right. Just reverse everything when covering the pool.

Approximately 90 degrees celsius for 10 minutes per kilo.

That will make the flesh tender and not too stringy.

That depends on how clean your water is now. Most people run their filter around about 8 hours, however if your water is satisfactorily clean and you are having no particular trouble maintaining free chlorine levels you may be able to reduce it. If you have a salt water pool there is a minimum amount of time that the pool needs to be run in order to produce enough chlorine this depends on the size chlorinator an or pool.

My jacuzzi is about the same size and takes about 1.5 hours to rise from 60 dregrees to 98 degrees. My heater is a Purex Triton Minmax 250. I don't know if this is typical.

i have a 5ft pool and have a intex 3kw heater how long will it take to heat pool to a good swimm tempature

You'd probably never get it to reach 90 degrees maybe 85 max but depends on the heater on average it would take 2-3 days so around 1000.00 dollars I'd guess.

30C-34C is about 86F-93F! That temp will generally feel too warm for most people in a pool.

A better temp that would suit more people would be around 27C-29C or 80F-84F. The water will still feel warm but still be refreshing when you're swimming.

...

I think for 30-34 degree centigrade ambient temperature, the pool temperature should be around 81 F (approx. 27 degree C). This will make body feel fresh.

For a ambient temperature of around 25 degree C and below, the pool temperature should be slightly higher at 30 - 32 deg C.

I run a health club and have always had my pools at the following:

Depending on the water temp the ambient temperature should be 1 degree higher. Ideally the pool should be 29 - 30 with an ambient temp of 31 degrees

You don't really want pool water any higher than 30 as it starts to cause problems with the water.

Higher temps will increase evaporation - causing the amount of dissolved solids to increase, it also means the disinfectant will be burnt off and the total alkalinity will also increase - this will cause all the pipes to fur up just like a kettle does.

I found this answer which, while not giving an exact temperature, explains why the temperature shouldn't be very high: newton.dep.anl Hope this gives you some ammunition from a health perspective!

No! the floater should never have to be placed under neath the cover. The reason is that the chlorine is not moving around the pool so it will be in one position and eventually eat through the cover. Always keep your cover off when adding chlorine and when chlorine tablets are in a floater.

A 15000 gallon pool could be about 25 FT. X 27 Ft. X 3 Ft. deep or a pool that has a diameter of 30 Ft. X 3 Ft. deep will hold 15,854 gallons of water.

Recommended water temperatures from 78°F for fitness swimming, 82°F for recreational swimming. There is no recommended water temperature for residential pools. note that high water temperatures can make the sanitation of water more difficult.

Hi, I am going to Turkey 2 weeks Later and forecast for weather is 16C till 24C. I'd like to go swimming there and aqua park and I think it is possible for me at 23C or 24C...

Good luck

As soon as you have the pool clean and the pump operating normally.

I prefer Raypak heaters. They have been in business a very long time and heaters is all they do. The quality is very high and their warranty serviceis great. They are unlike other companies that either bought heater companies then sucked them dry of money and technical resources. They are not owned by some big conglomerate and is only a small portion of their business that doesn't get the attention to details and quality needed. Steve Dunn Commercial Pool Systems, Inc. The company that puts all of the others to shame is Elecro. Their designs have been perfected over their years of existence, and their customer service is astonishingly considerate and kind. I love to deal with these people. Oh, and some people say that the heaters are too reliable for the company's own good! I hope you value ''my totally biased'' opinion! Anne Reynolds, TN
