POOL S IZING G UIDE
- Determine your pool's
surface area in square feet.
- Determine the desired
temperature rise by
subtracting the average
air temperature from the
desired pool temperature.
- In the table below, locate
the surface area equal to or
just greater than your pool's
surface area at the desired
temperature rise.
- Read to the left for the
appropriate EnergyRite
model number.
10°F 15°F 20°F 25°F 30°F

ERN302 2514 1676 1257 1006 838
ERN402 3352 2235 1676 1341 1117
NOTE: Sizing is based on a 3-1/2 MPH average wind velocity for
elevations up to 2,000 feet above sea level. For each 1,000 feet above
2,000 feet elevation, add 4% to the surface area of the pool.
Desired Temperature Rise
SPA & HOT T UB S IZING G UIDE
- Determine your spa/hot tub's capacity in U.S. gallons by multiplying the surface area (in square feet) by
the average depth (in feet), then by a conversion factor of 7-1/2 (1 ft3 = 7-1/2 gallons).
- The table below lists the time required (in minutes) to raise the temperature of different size spa/hot tubs by 30°F.
- In the table below, locate the gallon capacity equal to or just greater than your spa/hot tub’s size in gallons.
- Select the desired heat-up time.
- Read to the left for the appropriate EnergyRite model number.

NOTE: Spa/Tub Size in U.S. Gallons. Sizing is based on a 30°F temperature rise.
To adjust for other temperature rises, divide the time listed in the table by the temperature ratio.
Example: for a 15°F temperature rise, divide by 2 (30/2=15).
