A heating and cooling system includes a swimming pool, a pump connected to the swimming pool, a pool cooler connected to the pump so as to cool water passing from the pump, a water source heat pump cooperative with the pump so as to receive water as passed by the outlet pipe of the pump, a valve mechanism connected to the outlet of the pump so as to control the flow of water toward the pool cooler and the water source heat pump, and a pressure control valve cooperative between the valve mechanism in the inlet line of the pool cooler so as to limit a pressure of the water flowing from the valve mechanism toward the inlet line of the pool cooler. A pressure control is connected to the outlet line of the pool cooler so as to reduce a pressure of the water flowing from the outlet line to the pump.
