Which of the following requires the most heat gain?

Incoming water temperature of 60⁰ F to heat a swimming pool to 85⁰ F
Incoming water temperature of 50⁰ F to heat water in a water heater to 125⁰ F
Both require equal heat gain
Cannot answer with the information available

Explanation

Answer: B - Heating water to 125⁰ F from a starting point of 50⁰ F incoming water temperature requires a heat gain of 75⁰ F. The heat gain required for the swimming pool response is only 25⁰ F (85⁰ F minus 60⁰ F). The volume of water to be heated is not a factor.
