Why Choose AquaCal?

Affordable

An AquaCal Heat Pump is incredibly affordable. When compared to gas heaters, it will heat your pool with a massive 25% reduction in energy costs. This means you can heat your pool for the whole season, not just in small intervals. 

Eco-Friendly

Unlike gas heaters, AquaCal Heat Pumps are good for the environment. They’re remarkably efficient and do not have an impact on your carbon footprint transferring energy to your pool!

Reliable

AquaCal Heat Pumps are rigorously tested to ensure they maintain high standards of reliability. When you buy an AquaCal heat pump, you can expect it to last 12-15 years. By comparison, the best pool gas heaters will last between 5-10 years.

Quiet

There’s nothing worse than hearing your neighbor's loud heat pump whirring away. An AquaCal Heat Pump is designed with the latest technology, ensuring it is the quietest unit on the market. You’ll barely hear a thing, good neighbor approved.

Experienced

Since 1981, AquaCal has manufactured well over 275,000 swimming pool heat pumps all over the world. Our technicians are fully licensed, certified, and insured, so you can feel confident that your needs are taken care of by professionals.

How A Heat Pump Works

A heat pump works differently from other pool heaters. Heat is taken from the outside air and transferred to the pool water. This means your heat pump WILL NOT burn energy to create heat. It merely collects solar energy and transfers it to the water. 

The process looks like this: 

  • A cool liquid refrigerant is passed through the evaporator coil in your AquaCal Heat Pump
  • As this happens, the air is drawn in through the evaporator coil using a fan
  • The heat from the ambient air warms up the liquid refrigerant inside the evaporator coil so it evaporates
  • We now have warm vapor refrigerant that is passed through a compressor and turned into hot vapor refrigerant
  • Pool water passes through the patented ThermoLink titanium heat exchanger system, which takes the heat from the hot refrigerant and transfers it to the pool water
  • Pool water leaves the heat pump and disperses in the pool to heat it up
  • After heating the pool water, the hot refrigerant turns back into cool liquid refrigerant and the process repeats

This goes on and on, gradually heating up the entirety of your pool.

AquaCal ThermoLink Heat Exchanger

The secret to the AqualCal heat pump’s performance lies in our unique ThermoLink technology. This is a patented titanium heat exchanger in our T90, T115, T135 and all HeatWave SuperQuiet models that prevents premature failure extending the life your heat pump investment and saving you money.

Don’t fall into the trap of buying heat pumps with low initial costs - look for the “Titanium Inside” decal found only in AquaCal heat pumps.

AquaCal HeatWave SuperQuiet SQ166 IceBreaker Pool Heat Pump (Heat and Cool) FAQs

An electric heat pump is far more eco-friendly and efficient when compared to a gas heater. It produces minimal amounts of energy to transfer free heat from the air to your pool water. This drastically lowers your carbon footprint and saves you thousands of dollars in operating cost. Electric heat pumps also tend to have fewer working parts, meaning there’s a lower chance of things breaking or needing to be repaired. 

An electric heat pump only costs more when initially purchasing the unit. This is because they use innovative technology that sets them apart from gas heaters. When you take the total cost of ownership into account, an electric heat pump from AquaCal is far cheaper than a traditional gas heater. 

Don’t be fooled by cheaper units! Thanks to our patented ThermoLink technology, you can run our electric heat pumps for as little as $14.70 per month. In comparison, gas heat pumps could cost $100s a month!

AquaCal is the largest pool heat pump manufacturer in the world, with over 35 years of experience. 

In total, we’ve built over 250,00 heat pumps, with a whole host of innovative technological patents and breakthroughs to boot. We’re leading the way in electrical heat pump technology to help homeowners heat their swimming pools while saving money and having a minimal environmental impact. 

All of our heat pumps are made in the USA, and we service everything we sell. AquaCal is the only manufacturer in the country with an on-site testing lab and an environmental chamber. 

Put simply, we’re the number one pool heating solution.

An AquaCal Heat Pump will last anywhere between 12-15 years depending on the model, the size of your pool, and how often it is used.

Determining a fit for your pool is extremely important and varies based on your pool size, desired water temperature and local climate.

            • Saves money when using a variable speed pump by reducing the RPM needed to achieve the same flow rate
            • Save money in a single speed pump application by reducing the run time needed to achieve the same turnover rate of the pool

             

             

            Corrosion Proof Cabinet  

            • Louvered side panels protect evaporator coil while ensuring efficient air flow
            • Rust and fade proof
