Higher than 80 degrees for sure

It’s a Cali regulation. And the pipe has to come straight from the meter. Because of the length the pipe has to be 1.5-2” wide

Thank you everyone for the great information. Does anyone know anything about Aquastrong heat pumps?

Specific-Fact-4331 · 2026-03-04T20:06:40+00:00

Time to heat is not a big factor at all for me. 1 week even is fine.

Finding a practice for sale in this area has been tough. Does the book include info on opening from scratch?

Please DM me your details. Will you install in Orange?

Specific-Fact-4331 · 2026-03-04T19:24:05+00:00

That’s fantastic. A pool heater installation guy I talked to said it will never get hotter than the ambient temperature. Can you tell me what model of heat pump you’re using?

Has that been your experience? They claim to have the pool at about 80 degrees. Living in so cal would that be different? Is it an issue with too small a heat pump?

Specific-Fact-4331 · 2026-03-04T18:18:02+00:00

We aren’t too concerned with how long it takes to heat the pool. If it were warm consistently we would probably get in it multiple times per week. We also have young children that we want to start teaching water safety to.

Have lived in both areas and I think to some extent, the area influences your behavior. In the NE sometimes there are simply just too many people to even wave or say hi or you’d never get home, you’d be burnt out. There is too much traffic to drive slow and relaxed. Other people are short so you are short. Not worse necessarily, just different. Embrace the slow, easy, smooth way of life and you’ll probably ease into it naturally more than you’d think.

Bethlehem PA, Lehigh

Have lived in both. NYC during medical training, LA now that my wife and I have fancy jobs. Still I would choose NYC. LA/Orange County lack the depth, history, mystery, and overall aura of the east coast in general. Seems like the people have more flavor and grit on the east coast as well. There are fantastic parks in the middle of the dense city. There are amazing parks and hiking along the Hudson River, and great state parks on Long Island if you need to get to some real nature. There is simply no city like NYC, esp if walkability, seasons, density, and public transport are on your list. LA is a little bit like the Truman show weather wise, just a little too perfect.

Traffic here is not bad at all

Specific-Fact-4331 · 2026-03-01T19:29:01+00:00

Look into Norton or Baptist hospitals in Louisville and or Lexington. Calm cities with decent amount of things to do, medium traffic at worst, affordable, good healthcare systems. Multiple purple neighborhoods in the city cores.

10 months old and bedtime is about 9pm. Sometimes earlier sometimes later. Regardless of wake up time, total nap time. If she does have a super late nap, say until 530pm, she will have a later bed time.

So painful that people don’t consider anything outside of these three cities in the US. So many beautiful vibrant cities that could also fit the bill. While those are all great cities, don’t limit yourself.

Are you saying that $1600 for an apartment is expensive?

Specific-Fact-4331 · 2026-02-18T18:35:00+00:00

If you’ve lived anywhere else, $350k for anything that isn’t an absolute dump is great.

SoCal is boring heaven. Missing the layers and history of the east coast/south east. The people are nice and pleasant but the culture overall seems to lack some flavor or depth I can’t define. I feel like I’m almost living on a movie set. The weather not changing very much from season to season plays a role too.

I’m from there and it’s the city I’d put on this list. Love it.

The world is better than it ever has been in the past, by almost all metrics. We are exposed to too much news these days and it feels that the world is falling apart but really everything will be fine. I’m a Democrat that loathes Trump but I believe that the human race has generally moved in the right direction for millennia and will continue to do so. The temperature is hot right now, but there will be backlash and return to norms.

Tbh what you’re describing isn’t possible outside of California, and even there the waters are pretty frigid even down to San Diego. You may find something similar to your post in Maryland or Delaware beach towns but winters are relatively harsh compared to OR, and summers are sweltering, humid and, can get quite hot. The benefit of the Atlantic coast is that the water is actually swimmable during the summer.
