RETURN ON INVESTMENT
The costs of installing a heat pump are somewhat higher
than a gas heater but you will save enough in opera-
tional costs to offset the difference, probably in the first
year or two. After a few heating seasons you will have
saved enough, compared to LP gas heat, to pay for the
entire heat pump and installation
.
LONGER SWIMMING SEASON
A heat pump is the least expensive way to heat your
pool. It will out perform solar by delivering heat on
demand, no matter how much sunshine is available. A
solar system with a gas back L.P. Gas back up will cost
more to operate than the heat pump alone.
In Florida, a heat pump offers a full 12 months of swim-
ming season compared to a solar systems 10 month
swimming season. A heat pump will provide higher
temperatures than a solar system. Solar will not heat a
spa on demand after sundown & during inclement
weather.
LOW MAINTENANCE
Maintenance cost can be more for a gas heater, consid-
ering the fact that a gas heater starts to lose efficiency
as it gets older. The heat pump's sealed system needs
far less attention.

HEAT PUMP EFFICIENCY
Your new highly efficient heat pump pool/spa heater
will deliver warm pool water for your comfort for pen-
nies a day. For every dollar you spend to run your heat
pump, you will receive between $4.00 and $5.00 worth
of heat in return. The heat pump transfers the heat from
the outside air to your pool or spa. Your heat pump
costs about 60 to 75 percent less than L.P. Gas heaters
to operate with less maintenance and gas storage tank
is not needed. Your heat pump produces no pollution
and no pilot lights to deal with.
