Frequently Asked Questions
Is the E3T a heat pump?
No. It is an electric resistance heater. A heat pump moves heat from the air and uses far less electricity per BTU. The E3T converts electricity directly to heat, which is simpler and cheaper to buy but more expensive to run.
What is this size good for?
15 kW suits spas, swim spas, and small pools. For a full size in-ground pool, a gas heater or a heat pump is the practical choice.
Which E3T size should I choose?
The line runs 5.5 kW (017121), 11 kW (017122), 15 kW (017123), and 24 kW (017124). Larger output heats faster but demands more electrical service, which is usually the real constraint.
Why choose electric over gas?
No gas line, no venting, no combustion clearances, and it can go indoors or in tight spaces where a gas heater cannot. The tradeoff is running cost.
What electrical supply does it need?
240V, with a dedicated circuit sized by your electrician for a 15 kW load. This is a substantial load, so confirm panel capacity before ordering.
Does it need professional installation?
Yes. It is a high amperage 240V appliance in a wet environment, so it needs a licensed electrician and bonding per code.
