Hayward HP380 Pool Heat Pump $600

Bought new, used for 3 seasons, always cleaned then stored in basement during off season and it is in very good condition. My 4ft, 18ft round pool was destroyed by a tree this winter so I don't need this heater and it works great. I tested it too a week ago. Uses 230-240VAC @20 amps GFI breaker, supply and will heat your pool to very comfortable temps. Water temps in the high 70's-80's are within reason. It takes that shock right out of swimming in cold water! Buyer is responsible for the safe and correct installation of the supply outlet. Comes with fittings for your hoses and manual. Pickup or local delivery 10 miles one way, weights 150lbs so help will be needed.

HOW DOES THE POOL HEAT PUMP WORK?

Because it is primarily moving heat (from the air to the water) rather than creating it The Hayward Heat Pro pool heater operates for only a fraction of the energy required by conventional pool heaters. The heater operates at a savings of 75%-80% less than propane (LP) gas and 50%-55% less than natural gas, based on average prices. Only a small amount of electricity is used to operate a fan which pulls the warm air through the evaporator where it gives up its heat, converting the liquid refrigerant to a gas. A small amount of electricity is used to operate the compressor which compresses the gas to a higher temperature. This hot gas gives up its heat in the condenser (heat exchanger) to the water, condensing back to a liquid to repeat the cycle. A unique heat exchanger that allows full flow for better heat transfer makes the Hayward Heat Pro a better buy.
