    I have a question my pool is 20k gallons I want a heat pump I only need to use it april and may can I get away with a smaller unit. My gut says that those 140k btu pumps are going to be overkill for my application. I also have a cover the water is consistently stuck at 74 but I just need that extra 10 degree boost to reach 80's.
