    Sorry if this is the wrong area, but i had no idea where to post it.
    I got one of those small intex 8ft pools for the garden.. looks like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140571945862&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

    Now i wanted to add a heater to it and I found one that says it will increase the water temperature by 10-12 degrees. Would by be at a temperature you could get into the water without been freezing ? I know the Irish weather is not the best but on weekends like this it would be nice to get into the pool.. But even in weather like this normal water is way to cold to get into.

    So would that extra 10-12 degrees make much of a difference ?

    thank you.

    Make yourself a solar heater for this pool! Plenty of info on the web- Even a few meters of black plastic piping will significantly warm the water. But make up a decent insulated cover for night time, as all of the heat can be lost in a few hours.

    Never understand why the. Bottom of these aren't black. Paint a radiator blab, put it under perspex and tun the pipes through it.
