How do i heat a above ground pool in a barn in the winter time?

Question

I know it sounds crazy. but i need it for my dog. the barn would be heated w/wood. The pool would be a 3ft-4ft deep but not a big one. I'm thinking 10-15 ft across. any idea's on this whole thing would be great. The water has to be warm enough for a dog

Answer 1

It depends on whether the barn is heated or not. If it is heated as you say to normal room temperature (70 F) then no heater is required. The pool will come up to room temperature on its own.

However, If the barn is not heated or if your heat source fails and it is very cold in your part of the world, you'll spend an absolute fortune on a separate pool heater, because the heat will escape about as fast as you can put it in, and will therefore be running 24/7.

Furthermore, heating a pool inside an unheated barn is going to cause massive condensation inside the barn, to the point that it will become foggy or have some rain inside.

Just heat the barn, it is safer that way.

By the way, make sure you prevent Rover's claws from hacking the liner and causing leaks.

Are you bathing your dog in the pool? It is really cruel to bathe a dog in the winter because it thins the winter coat. Also, unless your barn is insulated its gonna cost a fortune to heat it. I recommend you use a generator since the winter is windy.
