I want a heated pool

Re: I want a heated pool

I gave up thinking I'd seen it all a long time ago. Pics like that reinforce my decision! :D

I'm just surprised it's not a gas-fired water heater! :lol:
 
Re: I want a heated pool

Would be cheaper and easier to just hang a few bucket heaters over the side of the pool on extenstion cords. Just watch out for the hot exposed elements and dont drop the cord in the water.

Re: I want a heated pool

Let's see... A bucket heater ought to be good for about 5 gallons... an above-ground pool is only about 10-18,000 gallons, so I only need about 500-900 heaters @ $35 each... that's about...

As crazy as hooking up a hot water heater under my deck!!! :lol: :lol:
 
Re: I want a heated pool

well, that.. and the wiring and boxes not approved for wet locations (which under a deck is).
 
Re: I want a heated pool

But they put silicone in all the openings and fixtures so water can't get in. :D

Re: I want a heated pool

fat.. you're too funny..

Why do we call them Hot Water Heaters, and not just water heaters?
 
Re: I want a heated pool

oh, thank you pretty lady......... :D

I don't know, it's kinda like putting in a "cement" patio.........I don't think a "cement" structure would last to long, need a little more than cement to make it last. ;)
