  • 500W heat pump, + 4500W heater element. Thus, this is only really 500W of heat pump work, can use that only if use eco-mode or low energy mode, for dirt cheap operation.
  • C02 heat pump water heater - $3k, 1.5kW - [1]

Heat Pump Pool Heater

  • 70k BTU - $2.2k and 5kW power requirement [2] but only up to 104F max.

Designs

  • 8 totes with 70kBTU pool heater above get us to 24 hrs of 7kW heat (24000 BTU) going from 70 to 104F. Safe system, should implement immediately. Can use a $300 heat exchanger such as [3].
