Benefits

The Raypak Crosswind 65-I-R gives pool owners more control over water temperature by providing both heating and cooling in one compact unit. It can help warm pool water during cooler weather and cool overheated pool water during hot summer conditions.

The inverter-driven design allows the heat pump to adjust operation instead of running only at full output. This supports quieter operation and improved energy management when maintaining temperature.

The titanium heat exchanger is a major advantage for pool environments because it resists corrosion when water chemistry is properly maintained. For pool professionals, the 017741 is a practical heat/cool solution for residential pools, spas, and compact installations where efficient temperature control is needed.

Compatibility Notes

The Raypak 017741 is designed for compatible residential pool and spa systems requiring a compact 61K BTU heat/cool inverter heat pump.

Common application references include:

• Residential pools and spas
• Pool systems using 208-230V electrical service
• Systems requiring heating and cooling capability
• Pool equipment pads with side-discharge airflow clearance
• Properly maintained chlorine and saltwater pools
• Installations requiring a compact 61K BTU-class heat pump
• Systems using 1-1/2" PVC union plumbing connections

Always confirm pool size, climate, desired temperature rise or cooling reduction, electrical service, breaker sizing, plumbing flow, equipment pad clearance, airflow clearance, and local code requirements before ordering.

Installation Notes

This heat pump should be installed by a qualified pool professional and licensed electrician. Proper installation requires correct electrical service, breaker sizing, disconnect placement, bonding, grounding, plumbing flow, equipment pad placement, airflow clearance, condensate drainage, and startup verification.

The unit must be installed outdoors with proper airflow clearance. Performance depends on outdoor air temperature, humidity, pool size, wind exposure, sun exposure, plumbing design, runtime, and whether a pool cover is used.

Maintain proper water chemistry to protect the titanium heat exchanger and connected pool equipment. Improper flow, poor water balance, incorrect wiring, or restricted airflow can damage the unit and may void warranty coverage.
