To all our friends in Arizona:
We want you to know that Arizona is the third most popular destination for our heat pumps in the United States; especially the Phoenix and Tucson suburbs. It is come to our attention that pool owners are being 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 20 years in this business and almost 6 years on the Web we have not had one customer from Arizona 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.
Marcus:  (first attempt to send photos failed...I have to send one at a time...23 e-mails coming)

Here are photos of construction and the Kopek unit.  They are self-explanatory.  I
threw in the rainbow to prove it actually rains here once in awhile.  And, there's one
of me.  What is best price for solar blanket reel?  shipping?  and how difficult to
attach blanket to reel?

Use photos as you like and share w/Kopek.

I was the GC on pool construction.  Managed 14 trades, did negotiations and
scheduled all.  I got the thing done, ground break to filled, in about a month.  The
heater was ordered "just in time"  and was here 4 days before plumber needed it.

Thanks for your letters of advice and I look forward to years  of warm water winters.
