Gas Pool Heater

I want to install a gas pool heater. My low pressure gas line to the pool shed is 3/4in and 150 ft away. What size heater can I install and what happens if I install one with more BTUs than the 3/4in can handle?

Most important is where does this line connect to the main homes gas piping? Answer that and we can guide you further.. Be specific...

If the 3/4 " pipe comes from the meter of the home then @ 150 ft you get 64K btu..

Forget about a pool heater...

If you install bigger it will just starve for gas and soot up.. Waste of money...

Run a new line or go solar...............
