Recommended Pool Size
The heating capacity of the Astral IXI Gas Heater depends on the model selected, your pool size, location, and whether you use a thermal pool cover. Below are general recommendations for residential pool applications:

For cooler climates or faster heating times, consider upsizing your heater. Always consult a pool heating specialist for precise sizing based on your usage, environment, and desired temperature.
