Why it matters
The Vidapool 32,000 gal Pool Heat Pump is a pool heat pump rated at 110,000 BTU for pools up to 32,000 gal. Before heat losses, that output would raise a 20,000-gallon pool by 10°F in about 15 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 18 x 14 x 9 inches and a weight of 246 pounds.
