Anyone have any pool heater info they wanna share with me?



Wifey has been lobbying for a heater and is armed with her mother's

chequebook. In the interest of staying married I've caved in and

decided that a heater might be a good thing for our kids... I just

agreed to this 15 minutes ago, so haven't Googled anything yet.



Pool dimensions are 16 x 32 x 10 feet deep (3 feet at shallow end).



Ontario Canada. Typically our water is heated by the sun to 23 or 24,

which I think is 76F. In hot days it can get to 80F. Want a heater

that will give us 29 to 30 which I think is 85F but if not, at least to

maintain 80F.



Natural gas. Chlorine, Sand filter.



One other question, are these things power vent or pvc exhaust or are

they stack exhaust? Want to keep indoors but wonder about air breathing.


My advice is install a flow switch on the water line; do not trust the thermostatic safety switch it never works right.
