electric bill. It doesn't seem like you can just turn it on and in a a short time have a nice comfortable water temp.

My heater is natural gas, and yes, it's quick.

I can go up 2 degrees an hour in full sun, usually about 1 degree an hour overnight.

The natural gas costs me about $100 for a whole summer of usage. I probably run the heater for 100 hours a season, and a 240K BTU pool heater uses about 2.5 therms of NG per hour. At $0.45-ish per therm, that equates to just over a dollar an hour.
Natural Gas, I hadn't thought of that..

Your pool is full of ginger ale and you toggle the nat gas temps to secure rib basting excellence....
I am well marbled, so braising works wonders. *
