1 Retscreen method used to quantify current shading estimates. This method was used based on resent past data collections and current known data and was preformed on 7/5/9 for the City of Kendrick Idaho. Refer to the two attached pages : The attached page data is area specific data provided in the program. The attached page 2 data is entered as followed Enter Pool Area on proposed side will cause base case side to auto update. In Base case data was entered as followed.. Cover Usage (6 hrs/day). 74 degrees is a known current reading. Makeup water (the leak) is roughly 5 gal/day so 5 * 7 = 35, gal. 35, gal. is roughly 25% of 36, gal.(the Pool Volume). So makeup is 25%/week. Set wind to 5% due to Pool location. Set shading % for now. Pool was opened approx. June 5th so 5% enter in June. It is now at July 5th, so 5% entered in July. Supply water temperature Steve H. said started at approx. 52 degrees (min) June 5th. Estimating supply temperature should be around 58 degrees now (max) July 5th. Go down to Heating system ignoring anything in-between. Pick some fuel type, any will do, Using Propane and picking % efficient. Now notice (if you have the program) you will see fuel consumption used e.g., 6 gals. But, as is known, there is no fuel is being used.

2 This then in fact indicates the only way that pool temperature achieved a 74 degree reading is the sun and ambients such as air temperatures, earth temperatures, heating days etc. However, the program accounts for air temperatures, earth temperature, heating and cooling on the title page. This data has been gathering by NASA over many years and is pre-packaged. As stated above, the only heat input variable unaccounted for now is the sun and the data entry for % shade indicates the sun never is on the pool. Now reducing the shading percent entry slowly in effect, is letting the sun s energy make up for the pool s 74 degrees that is known to exist. This is done while at the same time the propane usage that is known not to exist approaches zero. Otherwise put.the propane s energy contribution is being forced down by the program because the user is increasing the sun s energy contribution (the only energy contribution) by manually lowering the percent of shading. At the point the propane just goes to zero, the current heat measured in the water must be at the point where the adjusted percent of shading is such that it just allows for the precise amount of sun energy from the data points June 5th to July 5 th to enter the pool to achieve the 74 degrees. Thus, accounting for the true percent of sun energy based on shading and as shown on page two, the percent is calculated to be 42%.
