Ownership Cost & Energy
Pump, heater, cover, cleaner, chemical, and volume decisions that change operating cost and energy use.
Heater Type Comparisons
Compare gas, heat pump, solar, and hybrid pool heaters by response time, climate fit, maintenance burden, and failure pattern instead of trying to guess a universal winner.
Pool Covers, Evaporation, and Heat Retention
Use covers intentionally for evaporation control, heat retention, debris management, and safety instead of treating every cover as interchangeable.
Pool Evaporation / Cover Loss Calculator
Estimate water loss from evaporation, splash-out, and covers, then compare the planning cost of uncovered and covered scenarios.
Pool Heater Cost / Heat-Up Calculator
Estimate heat-up time and operating cost for gas, heat pump, and electric resistance pool heaters.
Pool Heaters and Heat Management
Run gas heaters, heat pumps, and solar heating with the right expectations for flow, climate, covers, and service boundaries.
Pool Ownership Planning Calculator
Plan pump runtime, reserve set-asides, and cover payback on one worksheet before you change equipment or buy a cover.
Pool Pump Energy Cost Calculator
Estimate daily and monthly pool pump operating cost from watts or horsepower-service-factor inputs, runtime, and electricity rate.
Pool Volume Calculator
Estimate how much water your pool holds from simple dimensions or a measured liquid-chlorine dose response.
Rain Dilution Calculator
Estimate how rainfall changes volume and why you still need to retest CYA, salt, and chlorine after a storm.
Smart Shopping for Pool Chemicals
Buy commodity chemicals more carefully, read labels, and avoid paying premium pricing for repackaged basics.
SWG Output & Sizing Calculator
Estimate the daily chlorine demand an SWG has to cover, then compare that demand to an installed cell rating and planned runtime.
