To all our friends in Mississippi:
We want you to know that Mississippi is very popular for our
heat pumps. We have hundreds across your state. Some of our customers
use our heat pumps with the hot gas defrost to heat in temperatures
below 50 degrees. We still find that many pool contractors only know about gas
heaters and that some of our customers have been given a hard time about their decision to use a heat pump
by their local heating professionals. We want you to know that in over
24 years in this business and almost 7 years on the Web we have not
had one customer from Mississippi who regretted his decision to use a heat
pump to heat their pool. In fact we find that once somebody gets one
in a certain area, they convert their friends and neighbors away from
gas and oil to the most efficient technology available to heat pools;
heat pumps.
Hi Marcus,
Well of course, you were right. The Estes delivery man
helped me
place the carton next to my pre-positioned pad, and every thing else
went
flawlessly. Plenty of flow, apparently, because the heat pump
started
as soon as I turned on the pool pump. In less than an hour, the
water
temperature was up almost four degrees! At that point, I adjusted
the
thermostat, and I think 83 degrees is where I'm going to leave it.
Here are four pictures of the completed installation. The
first,
taken looking north along the edge of the deck, shows how close the
Heat
Siphon is to my Endless Pool (1616a). Photo 1621a is looking east
towards the deck.. Photo 1612a is of the control end of the
heat pump.
I figured if I went ahead an wrapped the pipes now, it would be one
less
thing to remember later. Finally, 1648a is taken from the deck,
with the
heat pump visible through the deck railing.
Here also is one view of the modification to the original
water
quality system (1603a). The lower pipe at the top of the photo, is
heading towards the supply side of the heat pump. The valve at
the top
right that doesn't connect to anything is now connected to the Heat
Siphon return. I'm using three valves, just in case the weather
gets so
bad I have to drain the unit, that I can go back to the little
electric
heater. Sure hope I don't have to do so, though!
You have my permission to use this text and any of the
photos on
your web site.
Yours,
Harold I.
