The most important thing about purchasing a pool heater is determining the correct size for your above ground pool.
Determining the correct size will save you money as a pool heater with the correct amount of BTUs will limit the overall run time and reduce your electric bill throughout the season. More importantly, throughout the colder months when you would like to use your heater the most, you will shorten the overall heat time of your pool and in turn also limit the amounts of electricity required to run the unit.
Rules For Sizing Your Heat Pump Pool Heater
（1）Size at 4 BTU’s per gallon or 1 BTU per litre of water. To heat in normal summer conditions when ambient air temperature average 70°F in a 24 hour period.
（2）Size at 5 BTU’s per gallon or 1.3 to 1.5 BTU’s per litre of water. To heat in normal spring and fall conditions when ambient air temperature average 60°F in a 24 hour period.
（3）Size at 6 BTU’s per gallon or 1.5 BTU’s per litre of water. To heat in normal spring and fall conditions when ambient air temperature average less then 60°F in a 24 hour period.
We recommend the use of a pool cover during chilly periods.
More BTU’s means more power, more heat transfer, quicker results and less operation time.
