What size pool does 30,000 BTU heat?

It is intended for pools up to about 8,000 gallons. Larger pools will warm slowly and lose heat faster than the unit can add it.

Does it need a 220V outlet?

No. It runs on 110V 60Hz, which is the main reason to pick it over larger heat pumps that need a dedicated 220V circuit.

Can it cool the pool too?

Yes. It has a cooling mode as well as heating, useful in hot spells when you want the water cooler.

Does it work on an inground pool?

Yes, it is listed for inground pools as well as above-ground ones, though its capacity still limits it to smaller water volumes.

How is it controlled?

Through WiFi from a phone app, so you can set temperature and switch between heating and cooling remotely.

Will it heat in cold weather?

Like any heat pump, output falls as air temperature drops. It works best in mild weather and is not a replacement for a gas heater in freezing conditions.

Our take on the Varminpool 30,000 BTU Electric Pool Heat Pump

The Varminpool is an electric pool heat pump rated at 30,000 BTU, sized for above-ground pools up to about 8,000 gallons and usable on inground pools. It runs on standard 110V 60Hz power, so it does not need a 220V line, and it both heats and cools the water. WiFi control lets you set temperature and modes from a phone. Against gas heaters it is slower to raise water temperature but cheaper to run; against bigger 220V heat pumps it trades heating speed for simpler wiring.
