I'll start off by saying that I will have a qualified electrician & pool service professional do the installation of the heat pump. I'm just doing research for costs involved which include possibly beefing up the existing pool wiring.
I'm looking at the Pentair UltraTemp 120k btu heat/cool heat pump (recommended 50amp breaker)

The breaker in my house that supplies the subpanel at the pool equipment has a 60amp breaker. I have a pool light, 1hp FloPro pump (less than 8 amp draw) , and an AquaPure E1 SWG (less than 2 amp draw) hooked up to that panel. There are still slots available in the sub-panel.
Would the 60 amp breaker in the main panel be enough for the new heater and existing equipment? Or should I expect that I'll need to go bigger? Thanks in advance.
