Probably gonna turn into a Ford vs Chevy debate but....
I am pricing out pool heaters. Pool is chlorine, kidney shaped and I am taking a shot in the dark at guessing it's around 20k gallons.
It's a sports pool 3 feet on each end and 5 feet deep in the middle. Has slightly elevated spa with spill.
I would take a picture but it's too damn dark out there... Winter sucks. Pool is 60 feet long, 19 feet across at the widest point 16 feet at the second widest point and 12 feet at the narrowest point. Spa is 6 feet around and 3 feet deep with a 3/4 way around bench.
Looking at 400k natural gas. Gas line already installed from old heater. Heater not currently in enclosure but would consider if it would increase longevity.
Use is to extend swimming season and heat the spa year round. I have small kids so we will not be doing a blanket.
Looking at raypak, heyward and starite.
I have heard that the starite is the most efficient which is attractive, heyward is kinda the f150 of pool heaters and I don't know much about raypack other than my pool guy thinks they are good.
What say the inmates?
