Heat pump energy estimate?

[skydude]

We have a 10,000 gallon pool in Phoenix, AZ. We are looking to install solar panels onto our house.

Does anyone have an estimate of the energy consumption for an uncovered pool of this size to expend the swimming season from 3/1 to around 10/31?

Thanks in advance!

Pentair has a Heat Pump Calculator to determine the appropriate size Heat Pump for your location. Pentair seems to do honest calculations based on the physics and efficiencies of each type of pump and energy source.

Raypak also has a Heat Pump Heater Sizing App.

To get the most accurate cost comparison you should change the default electric kwh, natural gas price, and propane price to actual prices in your area.
