product quality, service and technical support.
Heat Exchanger Selection: A 4-step process
STEP 1:
Determine the desired heat-up rate based on pool usage.
The heat-up rate for extended use (summer season) is 1°F/hr. The heat-up rate for
periodic use (weekends and holidays) is 2°F/hr.
STEP 2:
Determine pool capacity.
Rectangular Pool Capacity = 7.5 x Length (ft) x Width (ft) x Average Depth (ft).
Circular Pool Capacity = 5.9 x Diameter
2
(ft) x Average Depth (ft).
STEP 3:
Select heat exchanger required.
Using the table below, determine the recommended heat exchanger based on your
pool capacity and desired heat up rate.
STEP 4:
Check heat loss to surroundings.
Heat Loss = 12 x (pool surface area in sq. ft) x (desired pool temp) – (coldest average air
temp during use).
Boiler output selected in Step 3 must be more than the heat loss to surroundings.

Note:
The typical desired pool temperature is 80°F.
Heat-up rates will decrease as outdoor temperature drops.
Use WMPH - 95 for spas and hot tubs with 150 gallons or less capacity.
