We had to manually fill vacation home’s pools before. I thought at the time an auto fill device could easily solve that problem. With additional effort, maybe there could be an alerting method if the auto filling runs too long.

I thought that electric pool heating in the winter adds about $300 a month to your electric bill. I heard that if you don’t constantly heat your pool, electric heat takes a couple days to heat up the pool and gas heat takes only a few hours. Supposedly gas pool heating is cheaper. So, gas pool heating is probably a no brainer if you have natural gas service. I also heard that saltwater pools are nicer than chlorine pools.
