              Features

               

               

              The only heat pump that allows you to maximize the potential savings of a variable speed pump is an AquaCal, which utilizes our patented ThermoLink Heat Exchanger technology with its unique flow characteristics.

               

               

              • Patented hydraulic design adds only 2 PSI at 45 gpm, increasing compatibility with two-speed & variable speed pumps
              • 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
              • Impact resistant
              • Built-in drain pan provides condensate management

               

               

              AquaTop

              • Unique Air Flow Vectoring Top ensures optimal air flow for maximum efficiency
              • World’s ONLY integrated top that protects internal components and prevents debris like leaves and other vegetation from getting inside the heat pump, rotting and becoming acidic
              • Protection provided by the AquaTop allows for an extended 10 year warranty on the evaporator coil

               

               

              Microprocessor Controlled  with Digital Display

              • Weather protected control with full text display provides easy-to-read menu options and unit status
              • Ability to connect to most external controllers for heating and cooling mode
              • Hybrid functionality can initiate a gas heater when an extra boost of heat is needed

               

              IceBreaker Technology – Heat & Cool Models

              • Extends swimming season longer than any other heat pump on the market
              • Continue to heat at freezing temperatures to minimize heat loss
              • Cool your pool to a refreshing temperature
              • Set to heat, cool or autotemp

               

              PoolSyncReady

              Adjust your heat mode and temperature setting right through your phone in the PoolSync app.
              *Additional purchase of PoolSync WiFi Controller required

               

              Benefits

               

              • The investment of the Variable Speed Heat Pump versus a single speed heat pump can be recouped in energy savings in less than 3 years.
              • Running at reduced speed lowers wear on the compressor, extending its service life.
              • Pair it with a variable speed pool pump to achieve the highest efficiency pool system possible.

              new aqua cal heat pump rocks!

              Patricia,

              We are so glad to hear that you're enjoying your pool year round with the help of your AquaCal heater/chiller. We greatly appreciate your business.

              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.
