.... Hi All,
I am not an HVAC guy, just a home owner with a question, I
believe this is the place to find an answer. I live in Memphis TN,
pretty dang hot in the summer, pretty mild in the winter. I have an
in-ground pool, it is roughly 26,000 gallons. I also have a garden
variety AC, it is a 2.5 ton unit. My question is this, could I use
a water cooled heat exchanger as opposed to the standard over-head
fan air-cooled condenser? The water would be chlorinated pool
water. ...

about the only metal that clorine will not eat up is Stainless....i
dont think you gonna help the a/c in the long run...the clorine will
eat up just about everything, maybe not plastic,

Remember the hot water dip tube problem? It eats some plastics as well.

but then the heat of
the a/c condenser coil will be hard on the plastic... why not just
pray for rain when its hot and this will keep the head pressure down
some...
it always helps with a good rain on our house when in july or august
and its 98 Deg. outside and the rain cools the house off....
