Once again thanks this is real good info.. John

Thank you that is some great info. John

My personal pick for heater are Raypack, very reliable and quiet while running. the 336,000 btu model will work. If you are kind of lazy with water balance get one with a cupro nickel heat exchanger. http://www.raypak.com/jumpPool.cfm?target=Raypak_Digital.htm I also like Pentair heaters. If you really want to go all out Jandy has a Hi-E2 heater that 95% effcient compare to 82 -84 for others. they are pricey. I don't install the gas so can't comment on the tank size. Thank you for the info. Would you say the 336 btu is close to the size needed or should I go up to a 400 btu to be safe? Thanks again, John

Hello all my first post. I would like to add a pool heater to my pool and need some help with picking a good model. First some details. I have a 16x32 inground and would like to only heat it in the months of Sept and April. I have not problem keeping it warm with a solar cover for the rest of the months in use. I would like to go with propane reasoning is, I have no way to run 220v or my gas line to my pool without cutting up the ground. first what is the right BTU and would a 100 gallon tank of propane be enough or do I have to go with a larger bottle? Thank you for the help. John
