Gas heat is needed to keep pool swimmable from Nov 1-March 30 and is $249 for the first day and $129 for each subsequent day and keeps it at a ridiculously warm 90 degrees. Gas heat in the warmer months from April1-Sep30 is $129 for the first day and $89 for each subsequent day and will guarantee the pool at 90 degrees. Gas heat is available year-round, in case the weather is too cold on the day you arrive for the electric or solar heater to be effective.
