The pool is solar heated, which means it will warm up naturally based on the sunlight and heat absorbed through the roof panels. There aren’t any additional settings required to operate the heating, but please note that the pool temperature depends on the weather. On hot days, the pool will be warmer, while on cooler or cloudy days, it may feel a bit cooler.
