    Pool heat pump recommendations

    We have a 16x38 IG pool and am trying to figure out what would be the best heat source for the money. After doing some research I believe a heat pump would work the best but have been having a hard time narrowing it down on a make and model. Could someone advise the +/- of different ones.
