Heating an Above Ground Pool Alex 10-10-2006
Hello,

We have a 25' above ground pool (48" deep), and we are looking for ways
of heating the pool now that it's starting to get cooler outside. We
live in Texas, and though our winters aren't bad, when the temp stays
below 85'F for most of the day and 50's at night, the pool gets quite
chilly.

I am looking at some options for heating the pool so we can use it
throughout the winter, or at least a few more months into the fall now
that the 90-100'F temps are gone.

Does anyone have any experience with the solar heaters? I know even
when the temp stays in the 80s for most of the day the car is still
VERY warm, so I would assume this is enough to heat the pool rather well
with a solar heater. We're looking at one similar to this:

We just put the pool in earlier this summer, so paying another $800 or
more for a powered heater is not really possible -- but if we can get
good results from a solar heater, we'd like to go that route. We havep
lenty of space for it behind the pool.

Thanks for any advise or suggestions --

Alex
