Why it matters
The VARMINPOOL 120,000 BTU Pool Heat Pump is a pool heat pump rated at 120000btu for pools up to 35,000 gallons. Before heat losses, that output would raise a 20,000-gallon pool by 10°F in about 14 hours.
Heat pumps move heat from the air, so they cost far less to run than gas, but their output falls as the air cools; they suit holding a temperature through a warm season.
The listing gives dimensions of 43 x 17.5 x 29.2 inches and a weight of 176 pounds.
