Hey guys

so how much does it cost you to heat up your inground pool for a day?

thanks

WarChild · 05-15-2007, 10:59 PM

Dude, it depends on several factors.

How big is the pool?
Is it heated by electric or gas?
How much is electricity/gas where you are?

In the summer, in British Columbia it used to cost me about $500 a month, maybe more, to keep the pool heated like a bathtub. That was a small pool, like 80,000 gallons or something.

elecricity / propane cost really varies from state to state

doesnt take much heating in texas i would say $150 per month so $5 a day

Electric guys

sorry I didn't mention

My friend and I were having a debate

I told him that I think it will cost less than 15$ a day to heat up a pool using electricity in the WINTER (so from 0 to about 33 degrees celcius)

did I lose my bet or what?

Just bring in a couple of your boyfriends, that'll heat it up in no time and the only cost will be a couple of packs of Trojans if you're smart..

Oh in winter, we're not talking a few degrees then, we're talking from freezing point, that would run quite a bit more.

I don't even think the heater could do it, heating several hundred litres of water by 33 degrees is huge.

It will cost much more than $15 to go from cold to swimming temperature with electricity in the middle of the winter.

Yeah not in a day, not an electric heater. I used a gas heater to heat a pool from 0 to 30+ in the dead of winter for a new years party once. Turned it on full the day before.

Get a solar heater, was about 5k to install but then free heating after that. They are awesome. Pool is already at 84 degrees, on the real hot days gets over 90 degrees easy.

No shit? I thought those things didn't do much.

How big is your solar battery?

I went with the setup when my sauna gets heated, so does the pool (kind of sucks, I know). Am looking for alternatives...

any other opinions?

slapass · 05-17-2007, 01:10 AM

In minnesota a hot tub can run $10/day or more with electricity to keep it at a decent temp. So you are way off on a big pool.

warlock5 · 05-17-2007, 01:12 AM

depends on the size.. could be anywhere from $200-$400+ just to raise the temperature

I have been to heated outdoor pools in the winter, only once though

come to think of it, you are right, it would take a INSANE heater to keep that shit hot

MikeSmoke · 05-17-2007, 01:40 AM

middle of winter in SoCal, about $1500 a month (not that I've done it, but that's what the pool guy says)

Lol at small pool being 80k gallons. I have a 40ft pool and its 20000 gallons so your small pool must have been the size of a football field.
