The hidden margin leak

A flat nightly fee can look profitable—until the utility bill arrives.

Pool heat cost moves with water volume, temperature lift, heater type, energy price, runtime, and weather. HeatPerStay puts those variables in one transparent model.

01

Layer in contingency, payout deductions, target margin, and sensible fee rounding.

Refunds & limitations

The seven-day refund term covers unresolved calculation errors for supported setups. The kit is not engineering, safety, legal, tax, accounting, or insurance advice and does not guarantee cost, temperature, revenue, profit, or savings.
