Different kinds of pool heaters heat at different rates. Gas/propane heaters will generally take 24 hours to heat an average sized pool. Heat pumps will take slightly longer and solar heating panels can take several days of direct sunlight before they will heat an entire pool.

This would depend to a great degree (pardon the pun) on the size of the pool and the BTU rating of the heater. However, I have an 18′ X 36′ pool (about 25,000 Imperial gallons) and my gas heater raises the temperature at a rate of about 1/2 degree per hour.
