For whatever weird reason, my pool equipment is in the basement of my house, right next to my heating and air system. Using my gas fired pool heater (also located in the basement) is annoying because it heats up my finished basement) and it's loud. I have been interested in the FPH unit, but Hotspot FPH sales says it needs to be installed next to the HVAC outside unit. That would require a lot of PVC pool piping through the finished part of the basement. On the other hand, if we could put the FPH unit in the basement between the HVAC unit and pool heater, we would only need to extend the refrigerant line about 10 feet of tubing since the air handler and pool equipment are right next to each other in the basement. Does anyone know why I couldn't install it in the basement? Hotspot guys didn't really give me an answer. Money isn't my biggest concern -- keeping my house cool is the bigger struggle.
If hotspot is not an option, my alternative plan is to get a heat pump pool heater and tie in the ductwork for the HVAC so that the basement and first floor is being cooled when the pool heater is on. My HVAC contractor is great and willing to help with either plan.
If it makes any difference, I am in Memphis in a 100 year old 10000 sq ft foot home with no insulation. The 13,000 gallon pool is in a shady section of the yard and our family likes it warm
