heat pump

We have a pool at home with 70m3 water. We live in Spain, where it is warm may to october but we want to heat through the winter (using a cover). We have been recommended 2 brands of heat pumps. A Fairland Inverter plus. Or a Hayward? Can you give me any further information on what to look for...

I currently have an outdoor sub-panel that is run off a 30 amp breaker on the main panel in order to run the pump, ozone generator, and uv light. The sub-panel is literally on the other side of the wall from the main panel, less than 5 feet away. I can't quite tell the gauge of the wire, but it...

Hi all, I have an Evo-heat heat pump located in Australia. I have had it just on three years and now the unit has totally failed. It's a expensive 27kW 3 phase unit. The techs said the unit failed because; 1 - the coupling to the water pipes was not properly installed so pool water ended up...

Sorry, this might go long... Need some help with my new Ruud (Raypak) heat pump, hoping there are some of you that have the same 6550 series Crosswind V. We bought from Recreational Warehouse (Model number delivered was 6550IT-E) and sold as a 118k unit. It was installed a few days before...

Hello, We live in the SF Bay Area and are planning to put in a new pool, our current plans do not include a spa because we live in a home without a gas line. Due to our current city ordinances we can’t add a new gas line either. We are planning to install solar heating for the pool. My question...

I currently have a Teledyne Laars EPC 325 (Model No. EPCII325BN) pool heater which could possibly be from the 70's or 80's. It works fine and heats both my pool and spa; however, it's very inefficient. Heating the spa is quick and okay, but heating the pool costs a small fortune. My pool is...

I have had this heat pump (HP21404T) working very well for over 2 years - suddenly starting tripping shortly after turning on, anywhere between 5-45 seconds, usually short. My pool guys are swamped - 1 - attached photos 2 - electrician who originally installed came by, lines, power readings...

We have a Pentair UltraTemp 120 H/C heat pump! We just got our pool lat last summer so haven’t played with the heater much! I turned it on today just to make sure it was working! It ran for awhile but shut off long before the temp I had it set at! I was trying to figure out what was happening...

Hi all - there are similar threads out there, but none that seem exactly right. I want to use my Z4 to control switching between heat pump and natural gas heater (in the way it would switch between solar and natural gas). I have an inground pool and spa with VSP and Natural Gas Heater...

Hi TFP! New member and first time posting. I have decided to go the Owner Build (OB) route with our pool. We have an existing pool with no heater and no spa that needs to be re-plastered. Since we are re-plastering it, we have decided to add on a spa. No, I do not want a free standing above...

Hi, I have a SWG (Autopilot DIG 220), single speed water pump and Jandy Ti5000 Air source heat pump. The timer in the SWG turns on/off the pump as per wiring in manual. The heater turns on/off the water pump when heat is needed. All three can be on together, two (SWG and water pump), two (water...

The coil in our Hayward HP21003T heat pump installed around 2009 and heating our 14,000 gal lap pool since we bought the house in 2015 turned into a block of ice a few days ago. The display showed "defrost" mode. I shut down the heat pump, let it thaw out, and started it back up. The...

I have an old unheated pool in the coastal area of San Diego. I'm planning to add heating, but have to decide what type of heater is most cost-effective. Pool size is about 15,000 gallons and there is no spa. Temperature runs between 50-75 deg throughout the year and humidity averages around...

Looking to buy a heat pump and trying to sort out which vendors are best. Anyone with experience with TTI Fab Stratos? I noticed these have 5 yr parts and warranty.

Hi All! Opened my pool for its second season. Haven’t gotten any heat out of my Pentair Ultratemp 120 Heat Pump. Only used for one northeast season. Pool was winterized by a professional company. Last season it worked great, heated the 10,000 gallon pool quickly and was even able to make it a...

Has anyone heard of a temperature rating for vinyl liners? I have an inground vinyl liner pool and my pool supplies store owner (also was the builder) insists that I need to keep my temps in the mid-80s or lower to keep from ruining the liner. I'm having a hard time finding anything online to...

I have solar cover and only open to swim and then close immediately. The pool water is pretty hot in late summer. However, I want to add a small heat pump to keep the water more constant for early and late summer. I'd like to tap in the same 20amp circuit lines at the pump because the pump is...

Looking to get a heat pump for my 18k gal in ground pool in Houston TX. House only has electrical. Pinch A Penny quoted a Sunblazer 128k BTU heat pump installed for about $4700 on sale. I will need to subcontract an electrician for a subpanel. I haven’t heard of this brand. Any thoughts on the...

So I know heating a pool cost a lot, but If these calculations are within this range it might be ok. I'm in northern california. our natural gas is provided by PG&E. I checked my bill and found that we pay $1.36 cents to $1.89 per therm, up from 92 cents – $1.40 in 2012. In addition, there is a...

Not for my pool—I’m a virtual assistant in TX and have a client in CA interested in installing a heat pump for his in ground pool & spa that currently has a gas heater. It’s approx 15-18,000 gallons. He has 12 solar panels on his roof that he feels will offset the cost of a heat pump. Y’all...

We have owned our home for about 4 years now and the pool is original with the house about 16 years old. There is a screened in lanai, so even in S FL the pool temp rarely went over 84 and that is in the middle of summer with 92+ days and little rain. Our prior house had solar heater and no...

Hello, Here is the pool - it is very small and irregular, but I estimate volume at around 10 cubic metres (2640 gallons). It turned green 10 minutes (OK - 3 days) after being filled. I have acquired but not yet fitted a pump and filter combo in a fiberglass box. The pump is 0.5hp, and claims a...

Hello TFP! I have an AquaCal heat pump that has never worked in the 2 years I've owned the house/pool. This weekend it started leaking and I don't have a bypass installed. It looks like there is a fitting in the "in" side of the PVC that goes to the pressure switch. That fitting is what...

I'm a new above ground pool owner with a newly installed ACT750 heat pump (manufactured in 2020) on a 24' round 48" pool. I'm in MA and we had downpours yesterday with maybe a high ambient temp of 62. I have had the single speed pump and the heat pump running 24*7 set at 82. It is installed...

Hi all -- I've purchased a Hayward HeatPro 47,000 (HP50HA) that I plan to install myself [using a real electrician to run electric]. My question is: how far from the pool I can install it? Below is a poor visual that shows my situation. The pool pump is in rather plain sight between the pool...

Hello fellow TFP followers, I recently purchased a Raypak 5450 Electric Heat pump for my 24' above-ground pool w/ 1HP Hayward Pump. I have an electrician doing the wiring, however, I'd like to attempt the plumbing myself; as I have a (seemingly) simple setup. Plus I assume hiring a plumber is a...
