Product Overview

The Raypak Crosswind 65-I Heat/Cool Pump | 017745 is a compact, energy-efficient pool and spa heat pump designed to provide year-round water temperature control. With 61,000 BTU heat/cool performance, this unit can heat pool water during cooler weather and help cool pool water during hot summer conditions.

Powered by inverter technology, the Crosswind 65-I automatically adjusts output based on heating or cooling demand. At startup, it can run at higher capacity for faster temperature changes, then shift into a lower-output maintenance mode to help hold the desired temperature efficiently and quietly.

Designed for 208/230V single-phase, 60 Hz electrical service, this heat pump is a strong option for above-ground pools, small inground pools, spas, and residential pool systems where quiet electric heating and cooling are preferred over gas heating.

Ideal For

• Above-ground pools
• Small inground pools
• Pool and spa heating applications
• Pool cooling during hot weather
• Residential pools needing year-round temperature control
• Customers wanting electric heat pump efficiency
• Properties without natural gas or propane service
• Quiet backyard equipment pad operation
• Replacing older small heat pumps or electric heaters
• Saltwater and chlorine pool systems with proper chemistry
• Professional pool equipment installations

Key Features

• 61,000 BTU heat/cool capacity — provides both pool heating and cooling for year-round comfort.
• Inverter technology — automatically adjusts output to match temperature demand.
• Heat and cool operation — warms pool water in cooler weather and helps lower water temperature in extreme heat.
• 208/230V single-phase power — designed for standard residential pool equipment electrical service.
• Spiral titanium heat exchanger — provides corrosion resistance for properly maintained saltwater and chlorine pools.
• Digital controls — allows simple temperature adjustment and system monitoring.
• Whisper-quiet operation — inverter compressor and low-speed fan design help reduce operating noise.
• Compact cabinet — smaller footprint helps make installation easier on crowded equipment pads.
• R-410A refrigerant — proven refrigerant platform used in pool heat pump systems.
• Energy-smart heating and cooling — transfers heat instead of generating heat through combustion.
• No gas or venting required — electric heat pump operation eliminates gas line and flue requirements.
• Professional-grade Raypak design — built for dependable pool and spa temperature control.

Benefits

The Raypak Crosswind 65-I gives pool owners more control over water temperature throughout the season. During cooler months, it helps warm the pool or spa for more comfortable swimming. During hot summer conditions, cooling mode can help reduce overly warm pool water for a more refreshing swim.

The inverter-driven design is a major benefit because it can adjust output in smaller increments instead of cycling harshly on and off. This supports quieter operation, more stable water temperature, and improved energy efficiency.

The titanium heat exchanger adds long-term durability, especially in properly maintained saltwater systems. For customers who want a compact, quiet, electric heater and cooler without gas fuel, the Crosswind 65-I is a strong residential option.

Always confirm pool size, climate, desired temperature rise, cooling needs, electrical service, breaker requirements, plumbing flow, and equipment pad clearance before ordering.

Installation Notes

The Raypak Crosswind 65-I should be installed by a qualified pool professional or licensed electrician. Proper installation requires correct electrical service, breaker sizing, bonding, grounding, plumbing flow, equipment pad placement, airflow clearance, and startup verification.

Before installation, confirm that the site can support 208/230VAC, single-phase, 60 Hz electrical service and that the water flow falls within the required 28.5–37.5 GPM range.

Heat pump performance varies based on outdoor air temperature, humidity, water temperature, wind exposure, plumbing design, pool size, pool cover usage, and runtime. Proper airflow clearance around the unit is required for efficient heating and cooling performance.
