      No refunds for issues due to low water levels.
  • Limitations:
    • Pool heaters cannot instantly heat 20,000–40,000 gallons of water. Plan ahead.
    • During cold fronts or winter, heaters may struggle to maintain warmth. Pool heat is not recommended during these periods.
    • Without pool heat, pool temperatures may drop to 50–60°F (Dec–Mar).
    • Pool heat does not provide bathtub/spa-like temperatures.
  • Technical Issues:
    • We reserve the right to make pool heat unavailable due to outages, maintenance, or repairs.
    • Refunds are issued only for periods when heating is unavailable due to technical malfunctions at our sole discretion.
  • Additional Notes:
    • Do not attempt to activate the pool heater yourself to save on the fees. While some may consider this a trick on somebody, it could have serious consequences!
      All Florida homes have electric smart meters where energy consumption can be verified up to the hour. Many properties have security cameras at pool equipment.
      Activating pool heater without paying is considered Theft in Florida.
