Really? Thanks for the heads up! Can you share a pic of what you did? This will be my first heat pump, it’s all new to me but makes it worth it over other options since I just got solar and oversized that significantly. On a side note are you happy with your aquacal? It came down to that or...

Thank you!

They call for a 60 amp breaker, I have a email to ask for constant load vs straight up load for 230v it might be less. Hah I really don’t know about wire I thought you could get solid core, but I guess I’d be bending rebar once it got to the panel. Can you still help with what I’d need for...

Thanks for the quick feedback. Electrician said to try and get 125 amp for my needs. I’m getting a 140 btu aquacal heat pump that they said has a startup of 50 amps. I also have a main pump (15-20 amp) and a booster pump that runs at same time (another 15-20) amp. All would run the same time...

Forgot to mention it’s 145ft

I currently have 50 amp service for my pool and dilapidated pool house. I’m going to be needing ideally 125 amp for the new pool heat pump and adding a small heat pump to for the new structure to cover my needs. The run is down a hill and very straight, however the existing conduit goes under...

Each of the double poles feeds a separate 100 amp panel inside the house and they are almost full. Not sure?

I’m going to be getting Solar ahead of nem 3.0 and found out today that this may cost a lot more than I had hoped. According to the installer, I need a place to land a 60 amp breaker and there currently is no room in the main panel. Normally this isn’t too big of a deal, but they added that this...

Thanks everyone for the help on this! I decided to go the VFD route mainly due to the cost. With selling the existing mag starters box, I should be able to recoup some of the expenses. In addition, 3PH 3HP motors seem to pretty common at cheap prices, so if one goes bad, the replacement isn't...

You came to the same conclusion that I did, best to simplify by getting two drives. I cant remember the thread, but when scanning last night, I saw that a guy had installed a pressure transducer with a screw air compressor in his shop. This probably is adopted already by large scale commercial...

Preview Default Re: Quincy Compressor 325 - 3PH to 1PH what route to go. Thank you all for your quick and detailed responses. Im quite surprised that most responses are leaning VFD, as I actually thought it would have been towards going with single phase motors. I spent a lot of time reading...

Thank you for explaining in detail and clarifying my questions. That would make sense, The way the front panel was setup with this, it appears they wanted max flexibility to have either both pumps to alternate, on/of or to even be constant run and override the pressure switches with auto. This...

Good to know, probably something to consider if I go this route. Though I may have different pressure settings and starts for each of the heads. Btw that compressor looks awesome! Nice paint job. Nothing wrong with disagreement and I wouldn't doubt you are correct as after many years I'm...

Since it has 208-230 on the motor, does that mean it could run on single phase or three three phase? I've never seen the hyphen on the motor like that before.

Some pics of the larger and smaller transformer.

Sure thing, no name on the plate between the starters though, I checked top and bottom.

Last Pic. Not sure why the pictures got turned.

Its time to get this beast going. I was about to start this about a year ago when I got it and then I moved and took it with me across the country. I’m looking for advice on which direction to go on this as it appears I have several options. If you need more info from the Pics, I will try to...

Yup, you're right. I should have called the CC company from the beginning. They should have also never prematurely sent the 2nd one. Since I won't be home for the delivery they won't be able to follow through, that and when I talk to them Monday. The thing is, I've never had a problem with...

Once I get my refund, I've already been pricing out what it would cost to build one and plan to go that route. I may spend a bit more, but will create a new thread on that process. Sorry you guys are seeing me rant. Just sharing the experience that keeps on giving.
