Rate of coolng for 5000 gal of H2O, to find out required heating neede

Rate of coolng for 5000 gal of H2O, to find out required heating neede

Rate of coolng for 5000 gal of H2O, to find out required heating neede

(OP)
In a closed pool containing 5000 gals. of water, how do I find rate of heat disapation over given period of time?
The pool is 18 ft. in diameter, 3 ft. in ht.
The water must be maintained at least 81 deg. F, at most 94 degrees. using solar panels to heat during daylight, I need to know how much of a tempeture drop to expect over night. The air temp. may fall to 30 degrees at night. If water temp goes below 61 everything dies and I'm screwed.
