To all our friends in Washington:

We live in Washington so we know your weather and your pools very well. Heat pumps should be very popular here but it is very rare that we sell one in Washington. I'm not sure the reason why but I suspect that either they haven't been marketed properly or the local obsession with gas and oil heaters by pool servicing companies has stunted heat pump growth in our state.
We have some campgrounds, motels and resorts who have removed their working gas heaters and installed heat pumps. 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 Washington 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 neighborhood, they convert their friends and neighbors away from gas and oil to the most efficient technology available to heat pools; heat pumps.
