More about pool heater use during winter months. “In cold weather, the pool's filter pump and heater must run during the warmest part of the day to maximize the heating efficiency. Swimming in midday hours, when the sun is at its peak, helps the pool to retain heat. The pool heating system typically requires the pump to be running in order to circulate the hot water. When the pump is turned off, the water may not circulate effectively, which can lead to uneven heating. In cold weather, it's best to run the pump during the warmest part of the day to maximize the heating efficiency. This could be during the midday hours when the sun is at its peak, helping the pool to retain heat. It's also important to consider the specific recommendations provided by the manufacturer of the pool heating system, as they may have specific guidelines for optimal operation in cold weather.” - A key code and link to house manual is shared on the day of check-in - The 4 night minimum stay is non-negotiable.
