Wife is nagging me to get pool heating for the villa.
Is it needed ?
Thanks

| We are arriving at our villa next weekend, and we will definitely be having the pool heat on. No brainer - with the heat on it is comfortable, without it I will spend half my time inching my way into the water. OK, so I am a wimp, but there are lots of people like me, and your wife sounds as if she is one, too!  So, go on, give her a treat, book the pool heat and see how grateful she is. There is nothing like coming back from the parks and relaxing in a nice warm pool. I am sure you don't want to spend your whole holiday being nagged.....
Remember, the hotter the outside temperature the cooler the pool will feel.  |

| It goes down to your own preferance.
We always have it switched on when we go to Florida even in the July/August but you dont have to have it on to use the pool in the summer months. Best way to decide is to think if you would be happy to jump into water and feel cold until your body temperture adjusts to the lower temperture, which is normally a couple of minutes. |

| | whenever we have been we have always asked for pool heating to be on, it was brilliant for me last year as i also used the pool as physio for my new knee replacement i had done 3 months before, it really helped to bend it more, but we always like to go in the pool at various times of the day so nice to have it heated......going in august this year and still asked for pool heating to be on!! |

| | I asked the same question, we are going in October...a good reply was, that 'kids don't appreciate a cool dip....so pool heat for us.(Villa owner has thermostat so we can regulate as required....might be worth asking yours.) |

| Normally would not think you need for May, especially temperatures as they are at mo, and I am a huge wimp, but may be worth asking villa owner if you can decide when you arrive, we offer this service, tho takes 24-48 hrs to heat up  happy hols  | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| | We usually go in May and never have pool heat. I am a wimp getting in and can't get in if I go down the steps so I go of the side and it's fine then. Wakes you in the morning and is refreshing after a hot day at the parks. My children don't care as long as they have somewhere to swim | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| | You don't "need" the heat, but believe me, it's an awful lot better with it on. We use it in August and on the occasions when it isn't working, our kids don't like using the pool. Definitely worth it. |

Pool Heating ?
It should be warm enough without though but would certainly recommend having the heat on if you have small children or elderly with you.
