How to choose the right size pool heater:
First, determine the desired temperature difference by subtracting the coldest average air temperature when the pool will be in use from the desired pool water temperature.

Example: 85ºF [desired pool water temperature] - 60ºF [air temperature when pool is opened] = 25ºF difference. 

Then, using the Pool Heater Sizing Chart below, select the appropriate heater model number. [Sizing chart based on 3-1/2 mph average wind and average pool depth of 5-1/2 feet]

How to choose the right size spa heater:
Identify the number of gallons your spa holds. Decide the heat-up time desired, and note on the chart which Lite2 model is recommended. The chart indicates the approximate time required to rise the spa temperature 30ºF.

Example: A model number 250 heater on a 600 gallons spa will take approximately 45 minutes to raise the temperature approximately 30ºF [depending on wind, insulation, etc]
