Is this heat pump approved by your local codes or that of NSPF for use in or around Swimming Pools? I think not. Not a good idea to mix water and electricity.
Yes you could, if you live in a very hot climate... heat pumps would only be able to heat water to spa temperature if the weather was very hot all the time. It works the reverse of an air conditioner, but relys on outside air to convert cold to hot water.

How does an electric heat pump work?
An electric heat pump can heat up your home during winter and cool it during summer.
What is more efficient electric baseboard heat or a heat pump?
depending on conditions but generally a heat pump will cost you less to run.
Why not just use that energy consumed running the heat pump to run electric heaters inside the house and heat it directly that way?
Heat pump is more efficient. If you use electric heaters, 1 joule of electric energy will produce 1 joule of heat energy. If you use heat pumps, 1 joule of electric energy can pump several joules - perhaps up to 5 or 6, depending on the outside temperature, and the efficiency of the heat pump - of heat, from the outside to the inside.
Which setting should iuse on electric thermostat heat or em heat what is differnce?
These two settings are found when you have a heat pump. Using the "Heat" mode uses the heat pump capabilities alone. Using em heat, turns on conventional electric coils to create more heat (and run up your electric bill)
Is a heat pump electric or gas?
All the heat pumps that I know of are electric. Some may have gas backup-- in very cold conditions , heat pump will not work, so some kind of backup is needed.
How much does an electric pool heater run?

Which is better Electric heat or heat pump?
Heat pump - lots more efficient and dramatically cheaper to operate. Heat pump is definitely better as it not only saves electricity bills but is also easy to maintain and install.
Is heat pump bettar than an electric heater?
A properly installed heat pump uses about one third of the electrical energy to produce the same amount of heat.
You have an electric forced air furnace and central air. why does the central air fan run when furnace comes on?
You must have a heat pump with electric auxilliary heat.
Goodman ac model CK49 1B electric or heat pump?
Turn the heat on then go to the airhandler, if the larger of the 2 copper pipes (insulated one) gets hot it is a heat pump. If it remains at room temperature your airhandler has an electric heater installed in it.
What are the pros and cons of an electric heat pump versus a natural gas pool heater?
An electric heat pump needs heat available to pump. If it is 30 degrees outside, heating a spa to 102 or so, may be impossible unless the heater has some type of alternative heat source. A properly sized, gas fired heater can take care of a larger range of heating needs. A combination heat pump and natural gas heater, probably with a controller, really makes the issue more difficult, expensive, and would require a lot of study for efficient, cost effective operation. Bottom line: In really mild climates a heat pump might do the job. In cooler climates the gas heater rules. And where a wide range of temperatures and high heat demand is wanted by the customer, a gas heater is the only way to go. A backup heat pump may take years to payout. HM Louisiana
