Would a Heat Pump work to heat & cool a pool? We are getting ready to install a 21x43-54" AGP & I would like to open it like late April & keep it open till some time in October. Living in Southern Illinois, we need the heat early & alittle bit late, but with long stretches of 95-100 degrees, we could also use some cool down at times too.
My solar heating consists of 250' of rubber hose on the roof. No running costs, no carbon footprint at all. :)
I just put a tee in the return line with a valve and hooked my hose to it. It runs back and forth on the roof then returns to the pool. The water from the hose will reach temps of nearly 140F on a hot sunny day. Even on cloudy days it can be over 100. I live in Michigan and my pool is about 86F. It could be warmer, but that's about where we like it.
Cwalker...do u have pix of your hose on the roof?
When someone is posting about their experience with a heat pump, it would be great to say where you are located.
