How many BTU needed to operate 30000 gallon pool at 80 degrees?

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.


How much heat do you get from a solar cover?

A solar cover can raise the temperature of a pool by around 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on factors like sunlight exposure, pool size, and ambient temperature. The cover helps trap heat in the water by preventing evaporation and heat loss.

Do you need to heat a pool in 70 degree weather?

Yes: assuming you want your pool to be higher than 70 degrees. Trust me you do, the common temp for a pool is 82-84 degrees F.


BTU's needed to raise temp of water by 1 degree?

Calculating Necessary Pool Heater Output Formula... Pool Gallons X 8.33 X Desired Temp. Increase / 24 Hrs. =Heater BTU'S Per Hour Required To Heat Up The Pool Example: 30,000 gallon pool @ 55 degrees, heated to 75 degrees 30,000 x 8.33 x 20 = 4,998,000 BTU'S / 24 hours = 208,250 Output BTU'S per hour The example above shows that 20' x 40' pool with an average depth of 5 feet with a heater producing an output of approx. 210,000 BTU's would require 24 hours to raise the temperature of the pool 20 degrees.


How many btu's are needed to raise the temperature of a 30000 gal pool from 65 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit?

A US gallon of water is about 8.4 lb, so 30,000 galls is 252,000 lb. One BTU is the heat to raise one pound of water by one degF, so BTU's in your example are 252,000 x 15 = 3,780,000 BTU.


How can I efficiently heat a swimming pool to ensure comfortable temperatures for swimming?

One efficient way to heat a swimming pool and maintain comfortable temperatures for swimming is to use a pool heater. Pool heaters can be powered by electricity, gas, or solar energy, and can quickly raise the water temperature to a desired level. Additionally, using a pool cover when the pool is not in use can help retain heat and prevent heat loss, further ensuring comfortable swimming temperatures.


Will a 130K BTU heat pump provide adequate heating for a 20x40 pool in New Jersey?

It depends on when you want to swim. If you are looking to extend your swimming season a few months, like from May to September and/or you would like to raise your water temp 10-15 degrees than a 130K heat pump will do the job. The most important thing you can do it to use a solar cover. The heat pump will only raise the temp of the pool approximately .5 to 1 deg an hour and only if the temperature is above 50 degrees or so. So it will take 24 hours to get the pool comfortable and than with a 6-8 hour pool pump run time you should be able to have the water a comfortable 85 degrees or so. Without a solar cover the evaporation will be much higher and you will need to run the heat pump for 10+ hours a day to maintain the desired temperature. If you want to have your pool 90+ degrees regardless of the outside temp and you want it to heat up very quickly, than you definetly want a propane or gas heater. The answer is no. A heat pump requires heat to pump. NJ probably gets a little cold doesn't it? Therefore, no heat to pump. Depending on wind conditions, I would go with a Laars 400LX/LT.

How many therms of gas is used to heat a 40000 gallon pool with a 400000 pool heater 30 degrees?

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.


Does hayward heat pro work?

We've had many people buy a Hayward Heat Pro heat pump for their pool. Whether or not it is the best for your pool depends on your pool and where you live. Here's a link to the Hayward Heat Pro: http://shop.bluehaven.com/product/hayward-heat-pro/hayward-pool-heaters


How much heat gained with solar pool cover?

A solar pool cover can help increase the temperature of a pool by around 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit depending on factors like sunlight exposure and pool size. The amount of heat gained will vary but generally, solar pool covers are effective at harnessing solar energy to warm up the pool water.
