I have a 24 foot round above ground pool . Will this be adequate to heat this pool. I live in Southern Illinois. We haven't any dealers here and that is also a concern for warranty and service! Please --your thoughts

Based on your pool size i would recommend the "raypac 130A"  model number 011476 for propane and model number 011472 for natural gas, both heaters are 130000 BTU.

Hi John, for a 21' round above ground pool in Chicago I would suggest the 68,000 BTU Heat Pump.

Better to get 50000 or 60000 BTU for 6000 gal pool
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/12/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Alan M.

Hello, the 68,000 BTU heat pump will heat the pool faster than the 50,000 BTU unit. The faster the pool heats up, the less it has to run, which translates into energy savings to you. We also recommend using a pool blanket to help retain the heat in the pool when not in use.

      Hi Gary, No the larger unit will heat faster and bring your pool up to a higher temp. You do need to make sure you have a large enough breaker to handle the larger unit. Typically the largest breaker you will need is a 60 amp dedicated breaker.

A  Answered on 1/19/2022 by InyoPools Product Specialist Rich N.

Hi Troy and thank you for your question.  Are you trying to extend your season by a month or 2 or do you want to be able to swim year-round?  You can use this guide if you have an inground pool and this guide if it is an above-ground pool to calculate what you need. Per the inground heater recommendations, your pool would need to be about 150 square feet or less in surface area to get a 1 degree per hour rise in temperature for this 62,000 BTU heater.  Do not neglect the cost of running your pump while the heater is running as well.  It is generally more economical to get a larger heater to keep your pump running less.  Send us some more details and we would be happy to help you select a properly-sized heater.
