The pool water and spa water is the same volume. Therefore it is not possible to choose either one separately. The system can temporarily heat the spa by itself but this cannot be sustained for a long period of time as explained above. The cost for pool heating (and spa) is substantial. It is considered an additional utility that needs to be turned on by the management company. Bear in mind that a bath tub in your home will take 10 minutes or so to fill up with hot water. A bath tub inside a home is only a fraction of the size of an 8-10,000 gallon pool. A bath tub fills with readily available hot water, where a pool starts from cold water that needs to be heated. A bath tub is in controlled inside temperature settings; a pool is subject to the coldest outside temperatures at night. Therefore, pool heaters are much more powerful than any hot water boiler inside a home, it will still take 24-48 hours usually to get 8,000 gallons of cold water to a comfortable 80F.
Pool Heating, Spa Heating In Your Vacation Home
Having a powerful system run almost non-stop for the first 24-48 hours is the larger portion of the cost. It will cost the home owner between $80 and $110 per day until it the pool is up to temperature and it will cost between $12 and $20 to maintain (all depending on the outside temperature situations and depending on whether it is a gas heater or electric). For those who feel they would like to have (and pay) for pool heating for the Tuesday and the Friday of their stay… it does not work that way. Hopefully visitors can understand as to why there is a fairly high charge for pool heating and why there is a minimum number of days to take for pool heating.
