Aaaah, you're right.  I'm accustomed to S Florida where the pool
gets way too hot just using solar panels (I have eight of them)
unless you regulate it.

While we're on the subject, have you consid3red switching to
solar heat?  Depending on where you live and how hot you like
your pool, you might save a bundle, not to mention reduce the
profitability of the Bush / Saudi machine.  :^)

My parents' spa works that way, too.  It heats up pretty quickly.
My "Jacuzzi" is really just a hot water jet with a venturi to
draw in air from a T-tap in the garden.  It works OK but it's
only about 5-10ºF hotter than the pool water.
