Previously installed a brand new Varminpool heater I got from Lowes which only lasted a day.

So Varminpool reached out to me directly with a real person and a real email and said that they could NOT send me a new Varminpool 120000-BTU as they were out so they sent me a $5,000.00 KSPF-LVUD 140000 BTU Inverter Pool Heat Pump for 42000 Gallons, V35 Ultra instead free upgrade. My Pool is 27,000 Gallons Lowes knocked and additional $160 off the price so my cost is now down to $2,679.10 from my previous purchase price of $2,879.10 (advertised price as of June 5th 2026 $3,299.99) so I am not complaining and it will ship it to my house this time vs me picking it up.

It is HUGE!!! 275 Pounds! 28.7"L x 28.7"W x 38.6"H. I had to get over to a Granite counter top store and dumpster dived for some choice pieces of marble to get it a platform. I had to get a 12 Foot WHIP as the power supply is unfortunately far away but will bury it later I just installed it.

Inverter pool heat pumps feature variable-speed compressors that automatically adjust their output to match heating demand. Traditional (standard) heat pumps only run at a single speed, switching completely on and off. While traditional models cost less upfront, inverter models are quieter, more efficient, and maintain more stable water temperatures

Review: Works the same as the previous unit but has an older display but the coil is HUGE so it works better than the other unit. Put the Solar cover on my pool and let her rip yesterday from 12:30PM to 4:30PM and got my temps from 82 degrees to 86 degrees in automatic mode. I have it set to 88 degrees and will maintain there. It runs basically silent.

When it first started running water was leaking out quickly and I kinda freaked. Varminpool says this is normal in humid climates (Jersey Shore and very humid today) and it can produce up to 5 GALLONS of water an hour. I will test with a test strip ultimately to show if it is pool water but I ran water through it for an hour and nothing came out only leaks when running. So far so good.

The App is identical and recognized the unit right away in pairing mode. I ran an outside WiFi as some people complained that it gets kicked off but nothing like that so far.

At full bore it only hits 18 AMPS or so on my 40 Amp breaker as I test boost mode to see what happened and it ran fine.

Other than the dated display it works great so far and when I adjust in the app right next to the unit it adjusts at the unit almost instantly.

I tested to see what happens if you turn it on with no water going through it and it faults right away which is nice.

I have it set on Auto to run from 12:30 to 4:30 every day and will maintain 88 Degrees and should heat 1 degree an hour.

Finally I am really happy with Varminpool, they answer right away and talk to you. Say that they cover past the warranty and help with parts if needed.

Will follow up with any issues.

Just hit 72 MPH in 4th gear at 7900 RPM’s. More in it but definitely need more room.

Wawa has become an upscale brand.

Photo is from 2022. I have a bunch of Wawa cups as I’m always on the road traveling for work and noticed this one day. Be careful, stay vigilant my friends.

We took our Porsche 911 GT3 RS Weissach to Long Island this past weekend to allow customers to drive the ultimate track weapon or have a ride along with a driver. This lady has never been in a fast car before let alone in a GT3 at full song with an Akrapovič Exhaust.

Enjoy.

We are at the Nassau Coliseum this weekend with an Awsome lineup of super cars. Porsche 911 GT3RS Weissach, Lamborghini Huracan Evo AWD, Ferrari 488 Spyder, McLaren 600 LT. They are all so different yet equally stunning.

Well. It lasted one day. It was heating my 27,000 gallon pool 1 degree an hour in boost mode and life was glorious.

Then the very next day when set to turn on automatically it threw repeated Error 46 Codes (was texted error 36 for some reason) and it refused to turn on. An Error 46 on a Varminpool heat pump typically indicates a fan motor malfunction or a fan communication failure. When this happens, the unit will attempt to start, the fan will not spin, and the system will trigger a safety lockout or trip.

Calling Varminpool you speak to Jessa, public phone number is (978) 736-6880, very nice and typical South East Asian accent you all know and love and she asks me to send photos of the errors and she said she would send it to her Tech team.

Typical responses is to cut the power breaker for Ten Mins and try again. When turned on, you hear it click on similar to a thermostat and then nothing, the fan does not turn on. The errors continued and then they told me TO OPEN THE UNIT and pull the power line directly off the board. I asked why am i doing this and Varminpool stated that they don't have anyone yet to service it and might not be covered as I purchased it from Lowe's instead of Amazon to which I politely flipped my $h1T and she continued to help.

I take the unit apart and I do as asked but again same issue the unit refuses to kick on.

Two days go by and no response I call back and she says she doesn't know what to do. I call Lowe's and they say I have until June 6th to get it back or I cannot return it.

I then call my pool guy to come help get this thing back in my truck (200+ pounds and delicate) and box it back up (THANK GOD I SAVED THE BOX) and bring it back to Lowe's to their credit took it back no questions asked (had to get it off the truck 1st and scan it but they did so pronto).

I used my 10% off coupon and had a $100 price match previously which both expired so the manager cut the price down to $2,679.10 from my previous purchase price of $2,879.10 (advertised price as of June 5th 2026 $3,299.99) so I am not complaining and it will ship it to my house this time vs me picking it up.

Part 3 will be me hooking it back up and running it ragged so I can try and trip any faults because Lowe's has a 30 day no questions asked policy.

Stay tuned.

Got a pool heater installed. Spent a lot of time reviewing specs and if to go electronic or gas and went electric as to run a gas line would cost more than the pump.

It’s a Varminpool 120000-BTU pool heater and I went with it as I had a 10% off coupon and it has titanium innards so rotting won’t be a huge issue I hope. This thing can also cool if asked and raises my 27,000 gallon pools temp about a degree an hour so it’s Awesome.

The app tells you everything in real time.

Temp In/Out
Coil temp
Ambient temp
If it needs to defrost
Multiple power settings

My cousin is an electrician so it was FREE99 to install the power line and just the cost of PVC piping and valves to install it as I also had a hookup from my pool guy.

It’s silent when running, I wish there was a way to capture the ice cold air coming off of it and redirect it back to my house as I’m basically air conditioning the outside now.

Philadelphia is my favorite city to visit so many good riding spots and wild bike gangs doing wheelies and running around.

Monkey is in Philadelphia this weekend with some friends . I love Philadelphia and am doing an event here.

A bit frivolous but I had to have one. Matches my 2019 perfectly.Fits OK with large but really need an XL. High quality and the view is fantastic. The face cover flips all the way up and the quality is really nice. If you have a big head avoid these are Asian sized. Again snug with me but it’ll adjust I am sure.

Always wanted a pool and finally got one in 2022 from someone who made it look nice in August for the house sale and after a disastrous closing finally in November they didn’t close the pool and had an entire falls worth of leaves in it.

When I opened it in April 2023 it took near a month to get all the leaves out and I found the top to the Pool cleaning robot they left which actually works perfectly. After running the Pool cleaner for hours and shocking it like crazy it never became clean because they previous owner never changed the sand over 10+ years so when I sucked it out not only was there far less than the required 300 pounds of sand, what was left was blue and smooth. After putting in 300 pounds my pool cleared up almost instantly.

I found an 80’s garage door opener thing which went to a color logic pool light that sort of worked but out in a new one to make it as bright as it is now. The pool also has two sprayers that fire a huge arc over the width of the pool and thank god the piping all works even has a statue that shoots water. The liner is new as well.

It’s a ton of work and thank god I work from home to keep a constant eye on it but the pollen is the worst I have ever seen. Both my skimmer baskets have socks on them and get fully caked within an hour or two of my pump running. The tree in the other side of the fence not belonging to me hangs over my pool to dump in long stringy seed things but thank god only in May. Have a 120000 BTU pool heater going in soon.

Im hooked I love taking care of it and cleaning it. It isn’t work to me it’s therapeutic. 27,000 gallons and has a 8 foot deep end.

When I store the cars at night I between events I have to leave just enough room for the Monkey.

One of my Favorite things to do is take a person who has never been in a fast car let alone a Super Car and show them what is possible at full bore. The Mclaren 600LT is especially dramatic with it's turbo lag then surge which really pins them in their seats and being foot down through the corners with the top down is an unmatched experience. This 600 LT has the Senna seats so they hold especially tight and you sit super low. I love them.

This gauge does everything. You can fine tune everything even the oil temp has three settings to accommodate for the piston heat or it takes an average of what it thinks it is. Has a multitude of settings for tire diameter, front and rear sprockets, and then fine tune with a percentage if you want your Speedometer to match a GPS.

Looks great I had to turn DOWN the brightness which is a plus as it is so easy to see. Three stage shift light I have mine starting at 8000, warning at 9000, and SHIFT!!! at 10,000. Bike also knows what gear I’m in somehow, records all max readings and is just Awesome to look at changes the quality of the experience entirely.

I highly recommend.
