I have an above ground pool, 40,000 gal pool. Would this be the correct heater for my pool? So, I would need to get an electrician to install a 230v for my pool since I only have a 110v as well? I am looking for a pool heater that uses the air to generate heat like the refrigerator uses but would that work for a 40,000 gal pool? Also I can not find one on your site.

Jessica, What are the dimensions of the pool? If the pool is 40,000 gallons, you will need a 130 - 140k btu heat pump.
