Hi everyone, We are building a new pool and we are facing with the dilemma of what heater to install. We are going to do a small pool: 20’ x 10’, with 4’x10’ area as tanning ledge/steps... so volume is something like 5,700 gallons. We live in Novato, Marin County where temperatures are normally above 80 during May to October, with big drops at night down to 50s. We plan on using a solar cover when the pool is not in use, definitely at night for sure. We would like to use the pool during the warmer months: May to October. No plans on using it during the winter. Our desired temperature would be 80F. My question is: is a heat pump a good solution for heating our pool? If so, what size?
