pool heating

[claw]

Hi we are installing an inground pool and looking at a few heating options. We live in the bottom of Victoria and wish to swim all year round if possible. We are looking at a 4kw grid connection to generate power and electric heat pump for the pool. We know the heat pump will cost a substatial amount to run, but hoping the grid connection will generate enough power to cover it. Does anyone know how we can calculate this cost:B Thanks

You would save a heap by using solar heating and having a proper cover.This would give you about 9 months and you would only need to use a heater for the remaining 3 months.Even in mid winter a good solar heater would take the chill off. Regards Big Bilko.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:
