Hi,
I bought a house 3 years ago and it has an above ground pool. This Spring I am considering adding a heat pump to warm the water more and extend the season a little. I have been trying to research, but a lot of the info I find is outdated and I can't find certain brands/models that were reviewed. So I guess I would like any advice on some things or what to look for. The pool is an oval at approx.12,000-15,000 gallons and the wife and kids would probably like it 85-90 degrees.
1. Suggestions for brands/models and sizing. I have been looking in the 100,000 BTU range, is that about right? I have been looking away from Hayward due to cost and leaning towards this one Raypak
2. I live in Wisconsin so do I need to consider anything that warmer climates don't have to think about?
3. Any other things I should look at as a 1st time buyer?
Thanks for any advice!
