Hi Terry, A 100 lb propane tank holds about 23.6 gallons of propane, and this unit can use about 1 gallon an hour to heat your pool. That that will provide you with 23 hours of heating time.

Wow...So your saying you could use a 100lb propane tank every 24hrs to heat a 24 foot round pool? That's like $70-$80 per day usage? Am I correct? Obviously when it gets up to temp it will cost less but we r thinking of going to a propane heater but might try a different solutionafter hearing these numbers. Thanks for the information though.
