    Heat pump recommendations for bay area

    Not sure about the breaker size, I have a VS pump and previously had a PB4 booster pump running on the same line. My main is on the other side of the house. Should that factor into the pool brand/size I use?

    Heat pump recommendations for bay area

    Thank you @PoolStored, @ajw22 Added a signature. Budget - under $4000 ideally with installation. I have a gas line in the kitchen, but prefer electric as I have solar on my roof.

    Heat pump recommendations for bay area

    Hello! I am a new pool owner in bay area (Fremont) and looking to get a heat pump as the water gets pretty cold even during peak summer. Pool is roughly 19000 gallons with max depth 9ft. I am looking for recommendations on how much btu pump I'd need and specific models. I was considering...

    My booster pump stopped working (connected to polaris 280). Should i replace pump or buy a suction or robot.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I do have the booster bypassed for the return line already. I was considering Nautilus CC, any suggestions on that vs S200? Also, is it a hassle to put it in and out all the time? What happens if I just leave it in?

    I inherited the pool with recently purchased home. It's an inground 22K gallon pull with a regular pump and booster pump + polaris 280. Now that my booster stopped working, I'm evaluating whether I should repair, get a robo or get a suction cleaner. It will cost me ~600 to replace (including...
