Welcome to our Las Vegas, Nevada Pool Heat Pump Test

We would like to hear from you

 

This Heat Pump Lab test page is dedicated to everybody who once believed in the pool heating urban myth that heat pumps don't work in dry, low humidity conditions like the Nevada desert.

Our goal is to demonstrate what a  swimming pool heat pump can do 24/7 365 days a week on a pool in dry desert weather conditions.
Below you can view 2 pictures of our cameras broadcasting the pool and the heat pump control panel. We have also attached a thermostat in the water inlet and the water outlet of the heat pump to demonstrate the changes in the water temperature. There is another thermostat broadcasting the air temperature at the same time.

 

For our test we used an inflatable aboveground swimming pool that holds around 8,000 gallons. We selected this type of swimming pool because aboveground swimming pools loose heat faster and we love a challenge. For this size pool, 18 ft round, we need at least 50,000 btu's for a desert weather application.

We want to give an special thanks to U.S. Thermo Amp for volunteering a Heat Siphon DX3.25 for this test and to our dear Jason for assembling the pool, installing the live webcams, supervising the installation, attaching the thermostats and taking on this huge task of supervising this test continuously. Jason we love you and it's ok to cover the pool camera if you decide to test the water yourself in your Speedo.
