  • MH runs a pool store, I can ask him your questions if you want. It might be a little different up here, but at least you'll get an idea.

  • What do you want to know? Cost? How big is your pool? My parents have a heater that runs off solar panels.

    Average cost, good brands, average cost it takes to run it. Solar vs electric....i don't know how big the pool is. That would probably help, huh.

    Nicole - LOL. My niece and nephew have been given very strict instructions that there is no peeing in our pool. Apparently my MIL is lenient on this rule at their house. EW.

    We don't have a heater so I can't help on that. But the peeing in the pool....We told all the kids we have a "special dye" in the pool that if they pee it will show up! So, when we have a few kids in the pool I will put a few drops of food color in the pool and they are always blaming each other! I's priceless!

    I just texted him your questions. More than likely, he's not going to give me good answers right now. I'll probably have to ask him in person tonight.

  • His 1st response was 'How big is the pool?'. I told him I didn't know & to assume its the size of my parents. (I have no idea how big there's is, but I feel like if there was a standard FL. size, that would be it.
    Then he said it depends on size of pool, cost of electricity, how hot you want the water to be, etc. I told him I just want a general idea. I guess its not that simple.
