Keeping your pool comfortable year-round requires the right equipment. The Raypak Crosswind 65-I Heat/Cool Pump delivers powerful, efficient heating and cooling performance in one durable unit—ideal for above-ground and small in-ground pools. With inverter-driven technology and quiet operation, this unit adapts to your environment while saving energy and extending your swim season.
All-in-One Heating and Cooling
Unlike traditional heat-only pumps, the Crosswind 65-I is built to handle both heating and cooling modes. During colder months, it efficiently draws warmth from the surrounding air and transfers it into your pool water. In the peak of summer, it reverses operation to cool the water, perfect for avoiding uncomfortably warm pool temps caused by intense sun or solar covers. This dual function makes the Crosswind extremely versatile for changing climates and seasonal shifts.
Inverter Compressor for High Efficiency
The heart of the Crosswind is its inverter compressor. Instead of turning on and off at full power like older systems, this advanced unit adjusts its speed based on demand. The result is quieter performance, smoother temperature control, and significantly lower energy use. During startup, the unit runs at higher speeds for rapid heating or cooling. Once the desired temperature is reached, it drops to a lower, steady operating speed to maintain comfort with minimal power draw.
Compact, Quiet, and Built for Residential Pools
The Crosswind 65-I is engineered with a small footprint, making it ideal for tight pad installations or retrofit projects. The fan and compressor operate quietly—even at full power—so it won’t disturb your backyard environment. When in maintenance mode, most users find the system runs quietly enough to go unnoticed. This makes it a perfect fit for homes with noise sensitivity concerns or close neighbors.
