Would you recommend this system for Florida.. It can be very hot and am worried it would not withstand the heat

I use it in Haiti and is very warm here but I use it occasionally and then I take it off.

Dear Deborah,yes., Ive used mine and i'm in Ga. What i have found out is Don't pump bags To maximum Leave room for expansion. There is no exact science but after you use them in the sun you'll figure your air-weight-sun +heat., p.s. they are well made., hope this helps daoud.

We don't live in a super hot place but we haven't had any problems with it. I would guess it would be just fine.

Minimal heat (not warm to touch). Since this system is all enclosed, I doubt you could reroute the heat...

Not at all, but this means you might not be getting enough juice to the unit. You need a 200 Amp panel, two heavy cables (6/2 and 6/3) running from the unit to the electric panel. And you need to have 2 upgraded breakers at the panel. Also, if you have a lot of electrical usage at any one time (dishwasher running, A/C cranking, TV, and all the lights on), this may strain the system a bit for the short time that you use hot water. And, it also depends on the model that you bought and if that model accommodates the house size and family that you have. I have not had any issues with this unit so far. Then again I live in FL and I never need the water to be all that hot. I keep the temperature setting at 117 degrees and that seems just right. However, I do need to install a descaling system to prevent any scale buildup inside the unit, because FL water is hard water. All part of my master plan. ;O)

Honestly, I think it may mess up. I hardly use it and it's kind of messing up, and I am from Texas. I know the heat out there is far worse than Texas.

I live in southern Florida, so I have very little experience with the heat pump, so far. I don't remember about the extended warranty, but didn't buy it. The only thing I would do differently is buy the next level larger than was advised in the scale. Maybe the temperature change would be faster.

It would do pretty well. Keep in mind no foot pedal to vary your heat on the fly. It has a very stable arc once you set it.

I live in Florida so I can only answer about the heat and it is fine. My son has had this for about 6 months and loves it

I live in North Texas and we have very hot summers. It has held up nicely so far.

YES!!! I installed this thermostat to be able to control it remotely from Florida. However, if you place your internet, phone & cable (like Comcast bundle) on SEASONAL HOLD while you're away from home, you will lose the internet connection & will not be able to control the device. The heat & cool systems still work but you have no control remotely. COMCAST will not leave internet ONLY activated. It's all 3 bundled services on or off. BUMMER!!

the storage is key, if not done properly, it will melt especially living in Florida

It is an awesome system. Not too bad on the heat. It just takes same fine tuning to get the system just right with the right gearing in the car.

The vents provide enough air for me. I ride a couple times a week in central Florida. Unless you are really sensitive to heat I think this would be ok.

The system i bought is a little different, so its hard to say. I think if it was me i would at least keep it out of the weather, maybe a small vented box, plywood, plastic.

I have mine in my garage in Tampa. It is doing fine. The Temp is consistent and I have had no problems. Good luck

Yes, I have been using mine in south Florida for three years and all of the pieces still function well. Ultimately your plastic pool cover will wear and the begin to tear where it connecters to the poles.

It probably would be OK as long as it is protected from rain or snow, but it will take forever to heat up when the temp is below 65-70 degrees Farenheit. You should check with the manufacturer who will probably discourage you.
