Yeah, it blew my mind that having a pool was so important to someone in a cold place like Canada. We have a pool in Texas and while it was installed with propane heating 30 years ago, the heating has really never been used as it’s not efficient to do so. I can’t imagine how much it would cost to heat a pool in the author’s climate.
- stickfigure 5y agoA pool heater just expands the swimming season. You don't heat it year 'round, but it may be the difference between a 4-month pool and a 6-month pool. Also it's fun to throw parties with a nighttime 90 degree pool. Our pool costs about an hour and $10 to increase each degree. Sometimes it's worth it.
- dan-robertson 5y agoWell it’s cold in the winter but I thought Vancouver was reasonably warm in the summer.
- Tiktaalik 5y agoIn the central and eastern parts of Canada the summers can get scorching hot and humid and a pool would be lovely to have. In this particular part of Canada though, more known for its mild summers, not so much. In Vancouver there's honestly maybe only two weeks in july when it's hot enough when you'd really appreciate a pool. Now this is a bit inland, so maybe it gets hotter, but still, yeah it's a luxury that is not gonna be used often.
