Pool Heater:
We heat our pool to a comfortable 85°F throughout the November–April season. Keep in mind that on chillier days (below 70°F), the water may be cooler than expected, as electric heat pumps rely on the surrounding air temperature and typically don’t operate effectively below 60°F.

Please note that we are unable to offer refunds if the pool does not reach its optimal temperature due to weather conditions beyond our control.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
