HEYYYYYY we have very similar setups I'm in Cali, and weather here has been 60s at best, and easily dipping in 40s overnight. I too have about a 10K galloon pool and I too have a 120K BTU heat pump, although its an Aquacal First of all I want to thank you for even conducting these tests...

Heat pump from my personal experience wont work below 60. And if its 60-70, you definitely need a pool cover. Especially as it gets cool at night and then overnight. Without the cover you just lost whatever you gained. I read about this before I got mine. I was able to heat my pool to 80-85 with...

I have an Aquacal T115 112,000 on a 9500 gal pool in norcal On gloomy days even with some slight sprinkling with temps only in the low 70s high 60s, I was able to get the pool temp to mid 80s with solar blanket within 2 days when starting water temp was also in the low 70s. Only running once...

Well im like a scary movie where there is one last jump scare lol Guy installing pool pump said he wont be installing any isolation/bypass and just a check valve. I somewhat insisted I would like one put in, so i can bypass the heater during winter hwen im not using it.. just in case water...

I ended up getting a new circuit put in, its a 60amp double pole breaker in the main house panel, ran conduit close by the pool panel into a disconnect (not fused) While the main panel was open, i did see the wire that the main pool panel was being fed from, and it was a #6. So I guess I...

Thanks so much for all your help and quick replies. I likely will be going this route. But may just try to see if it is capable of handling it on the existing 50 amp double breaker. just for experiment :) Like you said in the beginning it "might" work and some installers also told me the same...

See my ghetto diagram I gave an electrician the specs of heat pump: kW Input: 5.9 Voltage/Hz/Phase: 208-230/60/1 Minimum Circuit Ampacity: 38.2 Maximum Fuse Size: 60 He said 60 amp with #6 wire So is there a breaker at the main house panel and then another at the hayward panel? With my...

No, the house was already prewired and the main feed is directly behind the hayward panel in the wall. The main house breaker is just right of the panel down that side yard about 25 ft away

Thank you for doing some of that math. I'm super dumb with this kind of stuff. I see you also added the 25% to highest load with the heat pump You mentioned 70amp min at sub panel, but I currently have it on a 100 amp I should be ok?

Have a pool built in 2021 Running latest Omni logic automation from Hayward with built in salt control. With breaker in pool panel. 15 amp See pic It is being fed from 100 amp breaker from main house panel , see pic My pump is a Hayward 2.70 THP VS has a breaker in pool panel 40 amp I have...
