Heat pump calculations
For what it is worth - Aquacomfort - which I have, has a number of calculators of heat pump and gas costs on their site.

hey, thanks for the link, its really promising, when i did the calaculations it said 2 heat pumps w/o a cover and 1 larger model pump w/ a solar cover, really great. That may be the way i go. im looking at teh SIGNATURE series, is that what you have and does that make a difference in quality.
looked on ebay and one person wants 3795 for a ac-1500A- heats up to 95,000 gallons, is to big a problem or does that help. i cant belive i didn't see this sooner, i cant thank you enough for telling be about these.

I don't know the difference between the Signature series and the standard - I have the standard. I have found their help line in Maryland to be very responsive. Interestingly, their tech for Virginia is based in Richmond.

Poolsean,
I found a good explanation here:

Look toward the bottom at the "Horizontal Ground Closed Loops" section.

crabboy,
I see how you got that impression. However, although similar in operation, a home geothermal system is different. A ground loop source is not practical with a pool geotherrmal, we need a much larger body of water to absorb the cold water temps that we circulate on the source water side..

Would a fish pond work for a geothermal system? I have a 175' x 75' x 6' deep stocked pond on my property about 100' from my pool site. Could you run loops through the pond to exchange heat?
Just a thought...

I see. In either case, unless I'm mistaken, I don't see a geothermal being that much better unless it's cold (below 60) outside.
