I think you are suggesting a way to defeat the laws of thermodynamics with your heat pump that has a COP of 10. This is a lot like having an electric car with a generator that recharges the battery. My bet is that the heat output is at too low of a temperature to be used efficiently. No free lunches in this business.

It still needs a heat source such as relatively warm air or geothermal as a primary heat source. Of course. We do not create energy from nothing. We transform it from ne form into another. In a practice sense your COP 6 heat pump very significantly lowered your ost of energy to heat your pool by utilizing energy stored in the air r in the ground. Who cares what the energy sources (ok is must be lean) is as long as you can tap into it to lower your energy bills. I'm trying to find the article I read which stated the Japanese had eleased a heat pump with a COP > 10. Using such a machine, you could hen make enough electricity to close loop it and still have significant xcess energy output for other uses. Who needs a false Ecat god and it's ever attendant lord Rossi to worship hen we can buy a Japanese heat pump with a COP > 10? Shaun
