All set for the pool heating season. Anyone else heating a pool with wood? Once the air temp. gets to 55 and up it will keep the pool at 90-105.
I'm not but if my gas unit goes or should say when it goes this is something I may consider. I remember seeing another thread maybe last year on one of these, maybe it was even you.
If you want to heat the pool up, let's say for a Saturday when your having some friends over and the outside temps are around 70 degrees out. How many splits do you go through to raise all those gallons up to 90 degrees plus? Awesome set up you have there!

Not to highjack this thread but we've talked about a pool and wonder how it affects your homeowner's insurance. And yes, if we got one we'd probably heat it with wood.
Ignoring efficiency it is 1 BTU/pound of water for each 1 degree increase. There are about 8 1/3 pounds of water per gallon so figuring at maybe 2 real BTU/lb makes it a whole bunch of wood.
