My parents have a outside pool here in Pacific Northwest, we only heat it from may to end of September. My dad does a combination of things to heat it and it works pretty well. First the biggest thing they invested in was a retractable cover, it really helps keep heat in. For actual heating devices, he has gas and solar tubes. The solar tubes, think 2” black pipe like, than he has a circulating pump on them. The pool water circulates through those tubes and help raise the temperature. My parents are currently looking getting some solar panels and a heat pump for the pool. You might consider investing in some mechanicals to offset the gas prices.

[@Jeroen74]

Not putting it on AirBNb would mean they have to pay everything themselves... even if cashflow is $1000 negative now that's still $6000 paid by renters and that's better than $7000 negative :) And the cost of it being a STR is not that high (insurance, permits etc). I agree that pool heating should be charged for in some way. There's a gas meter so it should be possible to base a separate bill based on that after every rental.

[@tsavoca203]

Nerdy pool gadget idea: they make a heat exchanger device that makes your home air conditioner help heat the pool. It basically takes the heat that the air conditioner is pulling out of your house and dumps that energy (which is usually just wasted) in to the pool heater. This is pretty easy to install so long as your outdoor AC unit and your pool equipment are relatively close to each other (they often are). Aside from that, you may want to look at a more efficient gas heater; with your utility rates the payback period seems like it would be pretty quick. Keep up the good work on the DIY!

💡Great idea jj! Would you mind sharing more?

[@Jeroen74]

She said a while ago that she sought professional help to help her accept her new face. I can't help but wonder what a therapist says to make one accept such thing 🤔

[@courtneyharrell1473]

That high of a jump on the chart, did you look to see if there was a leak at all? or just purely was used 2 weeks straight for the first time?

[@Jeroen74]

The chart shows the price development over time, not what they used.

Hey Courtney 👋 I’m thinking about making a video on this. Let me know if that’d be helpful. P.S. If you have any other questions about starting & growing your Airbnb business lmk.

[@eliasatalah86]

Does it cost $200 a day when you go from cold pool to hot pool? But not a constant heating over the month?

Yay the tile is going up! Why does it look grey haha

[@LCCH.cecilia]

Is it a complete necessity to have a heated pool over there? Or is it more like an extra thing? I'm asking out of curiosity because I've never been there, and in Europe and south America I haven't seen that, at most you get the hot tub in the winter months and a cool view of the pool lol

I live in SoCal and yes gas was triple this month. Also as to contractors I feel your pain. It’s almost as if they don’t want to work😂

[@elizabethandrews4199]

If you have a hot tub, don’t heat the pool in the winter. Put a cover on it at night and let the sun shine on it during the day.

[@Courtney-Alice-Gargani]

That looks like a lot work. How much more do you have left?

[@courtneyharrell1473]

a lot of airbnb charge to heat the pool, this is normal

[@jj-if6it]

"Empty the pool, lets drill for oil." LOL

[@kimberiysmarketstrategy]

I’m doing much better this season with nearly 100% booked!! But my pool isn’t heated..

[@josephaugello1527]

Shelby you should do Scottsdale or northeast phx, biltmore, arcadia there it will be much less in taxes, insurance and other operating costs prices are slowly dropping. In time you will not be able to do that.

[@lal10ola]

Does the hot tub also get heated with gas?

I cannot believe how expensive it is to heat a pool!!!! It explains why some HOA fees are so high.

[@kittycat43015]

It’s like you’re breaking the 4th wall every time you say you are editing a vlog. 😂

[@VideoGameRoom32]

If the water flow on the water filter is slow, the filter might need to be replaced. From the video, if I am correct, is there a water tank underneath the sink? I think these tanks are used as reservoirs.

[@eliasatalah86]

Also I don’t think your Airbnb person is an expert, especially for the fees she charged based on a video you post before. $600 a night is a lot when the pool heating is additional. I would say $400 -$450 is your sweet spot plus $150 for heating. IMHO

[@shelbychurchvlogs]

$600 is definitely the sweet spot - we’ve gotten a TON more bookings at that rate!

[@eliasatalah86]
