DR. INFRARED HEATER DR-1400HP Full DC Inverter 140,000 BTU Pool Heat Pump for In-Ground and Above-Ground Swimming Pools, WiFi Smart Control via APP

I bought the DR-1100HP for my 16x32 (about 17k gallon) in ground pool in February. It was delivered a couple weeks later and we were swimming when it was still pretty cold outside. I like to do a lot of research, and while I wasn't 100% sure about this heat pump, I'm happy with the purchase.Our local pool shop was going to charge $5k, excluding electrical, for the install of a 95K btu Hayward. I decided to go with this larger unit that had wifi capabilities instead. I always go over stability over unneeded features, but this has been a cool feature, the wife asking "Hey, how warm is the pool?" when we are away from the home.It seems people's idea of "warm" varies greatly, as well. Everything I had read led me to believe I would be happy jumping into an 81 degree pool. Nope. I need mine 90 plus! It takes DAYS to get to temperature, but maintains it well once it's there. You'll probably want to invest in a solar heater as well, to trap the warm in over night. We did, and it made a big difference.Regarding the installation, I had to upgrade my main panel's breaker, the wiring to the sub panel, and the breakers in the sub panel. That was a chore, but I got it done. Actual hookup to the sub panel was a cinch.I did verify with Dr. Heater that the unit has a sensor to only run when there is water output from the pump. It doesn't say that in the instructions, but I wrote them an email and they called me and verified that yes, it does has that sensor. This made the electrical hookup easier, as I didn't have to hook up a relay switch.The insides looked great, see photos. Value for money, It can't be beat based on what I looked at. It's a beast size wise. Make sure you have room. Would buy again!

I did extensive research in preparation for heating my in-ground pool. Once I determined that I wanted to install a heat pump, I looked at several different manufactures. Based on my research I decided I wanted to purchase my heat pump from "DR. INFRARED". So, I reached out to their customer service department (They were fantastic). We had several discussions, and I provided them with all the information they needed to determine the correct size heat pump so that I would be able to maintain my pools water temperature. Based on the information I provided them, they recommended I purchase their **DR. INFRARED HEATER DR-1400HP Full DC Inverter 140,000 BTU Heat Pump Ground Swimming Pools** It was delivered ON TIIME!!!!! When it was being installed by a licensed electrician, we reached out to their customer service department. They provided EXCELLENT Support; the Heat pump was installed and is functioning perfectly. The temperature of my water rose about 1 degree per hour till it got to 85 degrees. My family and I can now swim in the pool and enjoy it because of this heat pump!! Thank you, Dr Infrared, for providing such a quality product and excellent support throughout this process. I anticipate my family, and I will be able to enjoy warm water in out pool for many years to come!!!!

Our current heat pump pool heater needed replacing after 10 years of use. We were disappointed to find that the technology of our old heater had not improved in the 10 years since we first purchased it. We wanted an energy efficient heater. After researching other pool heaters, we decided on DR. INFRARED HEATER DR-1400HP Full DC Inverter 140,000 BTU Heat Pump. We ordered it from Amazon and it arrived within a week in perfect condition. A local pool supplier installed it. It works perfectly. The installer had never seen a DR infrared heater before. In fact, when the installer turned on the heater, it was so quiet that they looked at each other and said “It’s not working”. Finally one of them held their hand over the top of the heater and exclaimed “It’s cold!” They were shocked to find that it was working so efficiently and quiet. It has been working perfectly since we installed it one month ago. We highly recommend DR. INFRARED HEATER DR-1400HP Full DC Inverter 140,000 BTU Heat Pump.

This pool heater is a straight up MIRACLE. We are in Oregon and installed the unit in late February. It heated the hot tob portion of the pool from 52 degrees to 102 in 3 hours. Just last week ( May) we heated the whole 30,000 gallon pool with outside lows in the mid 40s to highs in the mid 60's and were SWIMMING in 80 Degree water in 48 hours. That's amazing for MAY in OREGON. Unit is quiet, well built, and easy to use. Definitely will not miss paying insane prices for propane!!

Just installed so giving 5 stars so far. I am an electrical contractor in Washington state so saved a lot of money by plumbing and wiring it myself.From a wiring standpoint it was very easy to wire. I purchased the 110,000 btu model and wired it to a 2 pole 60 with #6 thhn wire.I had needed to re plumb my whole system so did and plumbing to was very easy.Start up was a breeze. I have a 27’ above ground pool. I let it run on fan setting to (80%). My pool was 63 at 7pm at night with the heat pump making 67 degrees of heat. My temperature fell to 45 at night and today high was going to be 58. Looked at pool at 9am the next morning it had heated up to 65 and was pumping out 70 degrees of heat. Pretty impressive so far.
