The concept of heating my pool with the waste heat of my AC system is awesome, but the experience is an ongoing nightmare. We incorporated the heat exchanger into a new AC install. My HVAC guy will never do one again. I've never had a full season of pool heating because the mechanical connections keep leaking refrigerant. They keep sending me a cheap part or two with slow delivery and I keep paying for labor rework and recharging the system. I've spent more than the unit costs and still have a leaking system. So far this is a money pit! I'm posting because I want them to make this right and turn me into an ambassador for this product once again.

We purchased a heat exchanger to heat our swimming pool about 2 years. Thanks to a botched install, by their recommended HVAC technician, we've gone through 4 compressors and more than $3000 in repair costs trying to get this system working correctly. (Not counting the ~$1300 initial install costs).

When it works, it works fine; keeping it working however, is a different matter. Be sure you have a qualified technician in the area before you pull the trigger on this system.

I bought the solar mini split unit and I love it! Works amazing. Runs off solar until there’s not enough output and then it runs off shore power. Cool thing is it not all one or the other. If solar is only 1/2 what’s needed the unit uses shore power to supplement. It has not only saved me large amounts on my electrical bill. It’s also increased my quality of life as I can keep my home cooler for less money!!

Very bad experience ,bought the entire system , it came missing almost $750 in parts , they gave me a installer that did wrong , had to pay twice , after all I asked to return a controller that I was not able to use they said no . Please think twice before buying from the sales person Matt Angelo . There is an engineer very nice that helped me his name is Mark , I hope the owner can see what his employees are doing . Left behind a costumer that only asked for fair treatment .

We drove to Virginia to pick up the ac dc 12000 btu unit. Matt gave me short tour of the facility and explained some of thier equipment they had and were working on for the future. Very friendly and helpful. We have been very happy with the unit. The heat works very well and it sure puts out some cold air. We run it strictly on solar and don't plan to put ac power to it. If you want a viable off grid option or grid tied with solar it's the way to go.

purchased hotspot pool heater that works off your AC unit. I asked for the instructions before I purchased so I could give them to my HVAC installers to see if they could install it or would have any issues. I was sent a 4 page easy install pamphlet After I paid and purchased the item, what I received was a 37 page nightmare from hell installation package with coil calculations and measurements, etc! My hvac guys backed out after seeing it. I did not open and returned the item. Hotspot promptly charged me a %20 restocking fee. They purposely sent me the "quick easy guide" so I would purchase the item. felt Like a bait and switch to me. i would not buy from them. they make it seem what less complicated that it really is. the people they "recommend" to install are just HVAC people they've looked up locally that will attempt to install it.

Purchased a FPH for my pool. The install was a nightmare and it was quite a undertaking...I had to coordinate the plumber, HVAC, and Electrician. It took multiple trips from all of them to finally get the system up and running. I will give the excuse that none of them installed one before and I cant imagine that any of them took the time to read the manual before they came. Total install costs came to 3k. The system has been working well since I have opened my pool this season. Time will tell if its effective. I will post an updated review towards the end of the summer.
