+ Burying is not something I can recommend, or offer any advice about.

+ The smallest available heater should be enough to *extend* the season, and warm the pool on otherwise cool days. It's not enough to *heat* the pool, but you probably don't want to heat it anyhow. Most gas pool heaters get used long enough to get 1 or 2 gas bills . . . and then they get permanently abandoned!

+ If your pool data has changed since 8/18, just complete the pool chart form again, but note that this is an update in the notes section.
