Bestaway Pools
Got a 12ft one & set it up last week in the field nearest some power, got one of them heater for it & noticed on sunday morning that it was taking the chill from the water, collected my 8 yr old from School today & he jumped into it earlier expecting it to be freezing ... bloody hell it was like jumping into a warm bath.
He's still in it just now, jumping from the trampoline into it ... brilliant laugh

Ive got a 35ft indoor pool, gas heated with a Teledyne laars boiler, inline chemical dispenser.
I hate it, waste of money, infact I cant remember the last time I used it, or heated the f**king thing up.

My mate had a paddling pool last year about 8-10 ft across and two ft deep...
We warmed it up by trumping in it and throwing bbq food in it... HTH

Yes, I want to know the running costs too.
I'm after one for my 'splash' pool - 12" diameter. You can rekon on about 7p per kWh, so about £5 per day to run if left on all the time. I spoke to a supplier and all they could advise was that it'd take 48 hours to heat up then depending on how warm you wanted it, it could be £2 - £4 per day.
Does this seem about right?
