Have to admit it but I would have liked for the boiler to still be going this past week, it has been kinda raw around this place.

How much wood do you use? What size pool. Would love to heat mine, but it would be a waste of money.

Totally agree! I said "eff it" about 2 hours ago and burned some oil. It was 45* and damp/rainy outside and 59* inside. Needed to take the chill off!!

I don't use much wood  I burn pine ! Once the pool is warm you just have to maintain it. I put a cover  over at night. And it holds the heat in on these  cooler nights!  I have a 24 ft round above ground  it's a around 15000 gal ! It's worth it to heat it like I said  we bin swimming for a good month and we swim to October. We get a nice long swimming season of

James.  Any snow up around the boarder, I will be up in your area later this week for a couple days.


Fire boss,   I would love to be swimming right now. Our pool gets used a couple times per year. Total waste of money.

Lol. Nope, snow's been gone up there for about a month. That being said, I did get snowed on three nights ago. Never amounted to anything, but it was definitely cold enough!

What's bringing you to the area? Work? You should stop by if you've got time.
