Jandy Heat Pump Fall Season Test

[greggw2gs]

Hi everyone and thanks for reading this question,

So I had a Jandy Heat Pump / Chiller installed during my recent build here in Panama City, FL.

One idea was to extend our swim season into the fall as long as possible.

I wondered if anyone has any experience doing the same and roughly how much electricity I might use during the process.

• Average Temps here are:
  • Sept = 79
  • October = 71
  • November = 62
• I would like to keep the pool at 80 during these three months.
  • ~0.13 / Kwh here
  • Using ChatGPT, plugging in the Heat Pump BTUs of
    • 130,000 for September
    • 120,000 for October
    • 100,000 for November
    • 6.57 kW of the heat Pump
      • and it says I will pay:
        • $3 to maintain 80 degrees in September
        • $25 to maintain 80 degrees in October
        • $57 to maintain 80 degrees in November
          • I think these numbers are way low...

Also running pump 24/7...

Any thoughts?

Thanks Gregg

Seems no one has been watching the electrical cost of their HP in the Fall.

Let us know what your experience is.

Or as someone posted in another thread, when you spend the money we spend on a pool why worry about it... Thanks

Can't speak for the accuracy but this is a cool calculator...
