We have seen most pools at a temperature of 86°-88° degrees Fahrenheit (30°-31° Celsius), but have known some to get in the upper 90°s (32° Celsius). Most spas are heated higher than that, some even to the limit of 104° degrees Fahrenheit (40° Celsius) All heat pumps have a limit of 104° (40° ) for safety reasons.Nov 13, 2013
How fast can a pool be heated?
It depends on a few things to determine how long it takes a heat pump to heat a pool. However, overall a heat pump generally heats a pool after 24 to 72 hours by 20-degrees Fahrenheit. For smaller pools like a spa pool, the heat pump can heat a pool between 45 and 60 minutes.

Is 90 degree water hot?
However, 90 degree (Fahrenheit) water is only slightly below body temperature so it will extract heat from your body at a slow enough rate that your own internal systems can easily keep up and you will not develop hypothermia, nor will you overheat (hyperthermia).
Can a heated pool be used year round?
There are several possibilities for keeping your pool at a comfortable temperature – even year-round depending on how the winter season plays out.
