So if the water is 94 you can lower it to 86. I mentioned that the price may be an obstacle, but then he said that when you go to replace a heater for your pools, just replace it with their heat pump that both heats and cools the pool. Excellent idea. Cost of electricity was modest for running the heat pump.

The Villages complain about the cost. What is the cost of a hundred pools that cannot be used at the time of the year they are especially needed. They would not have to do every pool because I understand that there are a few that like the bath water. Some system could be used for the months of June to October. Need problem solvers.
