Intex Electric Above Ground Pool Heater: Setup & Temperature Test for Optimal Swimming Experience. 

It's well worth having :o)

The temperature of ours dropped a fair bit when the weather changed and we turned off the heater)) Thanks for stopping by and leaving us a comment :o)

Thank you for stopping by and for taking the time to leave us a comment :o)

Thanks for the info )) Sounds like you have this down :o)

I don’t think they do unfortunately ))

Cord is quite short, I'd say approx 2m, I will update with an accurate measurement when I get back from a short trip

We have run the heater for 2 days and the pool temp has been above 30 for the following 4 days, I'm sure the weather plays a big part and it been really hot for us, I'm planning on running the heater for 1 day a week, but your mileage may vary depending on the outside temps

I can't find it on Amazon

Much cheaper going direct rather than Amazon. Got mine this week for £80 whereas Amazon were charging £140

We haven't actually set it up this year due to the rising costs, sorry we can't help :o)

Over my two months electric bill it added an extra 100 pounds to my bill.And it wasn't on for more than two weeks on and off.

We have 220 volts in the uk. I wouldn't like to recommend a converter with this, i'm not sure it would be safe enough 😊

I saw this site online that had suitable leads built for hot tubs etc. toughleads.co.uk/ be very careful, an ordinary indoor extention lead could cause you problems and could also be quite dangerous

That’s a shame. Must be faulty.

Do you think the problem it have to be with the pomp HP ?

Thank you. Yes we run them while in the pool and it’s no problem.

No, it only has on / off switch. You need to check the water temperature. Hope this helps 😊

We don't find it noisy at all :o)

Yes, just cold water. We filled it overnight and it took about 10 hours. Hope this helps.

@@Mandyglen just connect ya pool heater to mains supply. 😂😂😂😂 free heating

😂

Here in the UK this came with a 3pin plug, I've heard these are not available in the US because of the voltage difference, hope this helps

@@Mandyglen thank you so much for your reply have a good day

You can buy a converter from UK to us on Best buy for 99 cents and 3.99 shipping

@@ek237 ok thanks. Will look for that.have a good day

@@ek237 Just to say, adding a converter won't work properly. Driving a 220V appliance with 120V will turn this 3KW heater into a 0.75KW heater and it won't heat the water. Also the freq is a little different (60 vs 50 hz). Be careful with pool equipment please!!

Hi, yes. We use chemical strips to check the balance. We use hot tub chemicals which you can buy online. To be honest the longest we've had this set up for is about 3 weeks because the UK weather doesn't last 😂

Should work with a lot of above ground pools, check the plumbing section of the video, you need a separate pump to "push" the water through, hope that helps

I think it is, such a shame :o)

It should work "inline" with a sand pump, you might have to adjust the flow rate if it's so much more efficient than the bog standard one I have - hope that helps

Hi, we have put a link in the description below the video but I think it's only available in the UK 😊

I am in the United States as well, it's like these don't exist here. I am looking for a budget option like this.

120V is not enough to drive a 3kw heater safely so they wouldn't mass produce a product for the 120V market - needs a 20 amp double pole breaker and a 220V circuit, proper wire gauge, it starts to need an electrician to get involved.

Can we Conect it to a 220v directly from the breaker box with a on/off switch?

Awesome 😊 hope he enjoys it

This pool doesn't come with a heater )) Shame you can't get it in the States, someone mentioned ordering this and using a power converter. Thanks for stopping by :o)

Yes but it's only problems.even my garage wirering is to week.intrustrial electric socket is going worm.need to build special wires

We completely agree and the costs are rising. We’re hoping to try a solar powered one 🌈

Or psi?

366x84 or approx 12ft - Hope this helps

Yes it looks like this is a UK product, probably due to the voltage differences of the different countries

@October Bradshaw no it is not efficient

@October Bradshaw Yes, you can find them on ebay. I just bought one (in Canada) that a guy ordered from overseas. I'll tell you though, I didn't understand what I was getting into. The 3KW is the perfect size as I also have a 12' pool like this one. I started out with a connector adapter and then learned I was only getting 1/4 power. I should have just got a 5KW heater for a larger pool and have an electrician install. Now I will likely run a 20 amp dual breaker for 240V to the outside rewire the heater, and I need to research all the code rules regarding shutoffs/lockouts/etc, which I don't recommend anyone do themselves.

For anyone else in the US/Canada, I'll explain all the headaches I've had in trying to get one to work. And I'm no electrician, so I'm sure people who really know this will correct me/explain in detail how dumb I am and how costly this is! In the UK running 230V it's safe to have 3KW on their normal duty plug because it draws about 14 amps I think. In CAN/US At 120V with an outlet adapter first the heater gets 1/4 of the power so it's too weak. You can't run a 240V circuit to it because the UK 230 delivers on one hot wire and has a neutral return, and US/CAN 240 delivers two 120's, no neutral. If you get a power regulator (which I did), you'll find that yes, the heater starts to get 230V, but then it draws 25 amps at full power, and trips the common 15 amp circuits that are the common ones in the home. So to accommodate the heater you need a 30A circuit, 10/2 cable, a 30 amp outlet (very uncommon, you won't find a regular 3 blade grounded outlet at 30 amp, you need a specialty RV type plug, L530). So you run a 30A circuit to a L530 outdoor weatherproof outlet. There is some expense to this!. Then you need a 10 gauge extension cable (like for a generator) to get to your power converter, and the converter is not outdoor rated so you can leave it outside unattended. Now you can run your heater. The heater I have has a schuko plug so you need to get a converter that accommodates that, because all the plug adapters (if you were thinking of a schuko to something else) seem to be only rated to 15A. So $$ spent on finding the heater, a new circuit, a power converter, a heavy duty extension. I really should have bought a 5KW US heater and I would have ended up with a reliable, permanent and safe solution of better quality. I ended up chasing this thing gradually after having found the heater on Kijiji and the guy told me it worked with his outlet adapter (which it did, but at 1/4 power), and have made so many mistakes and spent too much $. So I really don't recommend anyone else to try and pull this off!

@@MrCoreyCoreyCorey I almost just ordered this today until I saw your comments. (I am also in Canada) I’m so upset they don’t have something like this here. All I can find are stupid solar panels to heat up the pool or option to use a pool cover, or buy a $600+ electric heater but it needs to be installed by an electrician I think. Ugh something like this would have been perfect. What did you end up doing if I May ask?

Different electrics unfortunately.

That's too bad. Thanks for stopping by and commenting :o)

@@Mandyglen I'm thinking about getting one and a power converter, because I'm not going to pay thousands for a heat pump that weighs alot. It would be a pain in the butt to move when a hurricane comes.

That sounds like a great idea 😀

@@ChronicBongitis420 Just to know power converters (like the $100-200 ones) are rated for a short period of time (like 30 minutes). Continuous use would cut the rating of the converter by 1/3rd. So you need like a 9-10KW converter, and you start to spend $700+. Plus they can't be outdoors unless you get marine grade $$$. For North America just get a cheaper 5KW real pool heater and have an electrician install it. Be safe with pools and electricity please

Wouldn't use the pool at all in bad weather and our climate is too cool to warm it to a comfortable temp so even in the summer we need the heater on.

That’s a shame. The power for this is only suitable for the UK so can’t be ordered to the US unfortunately. Same here in the UK. Since the idiots of our country voted to leave the EU prices have shot up way beyond wages and we now live in one of the most expensive countries. We don’t have a great climate for growing foods so rely on shipping and are now being taken advantage of. We have the same problem with the rich getting richer and little or no help lower down the chain. We’ve had the ‘credit crisis’ and the current label here is ‘broken Britain’.
