AquaCal Pool Heat Pump Heaters

AquaCal have been making swimming pool heat pumps for over 30 years and are one of the leading pool heat pump suppliers in the USA. 

HeatPumps4Pools are a distributor for AquaCal heat pumps to the UK and Europe supplying and supporting this excellent range of products. 

The AquaCal Heatwave Superquiet Range of heat pumps are one of the quietest units available

• Very Quiet Operation - around 55db at 10ft
  
• R410a refrigerant gas for improved efficiency and performance
• Digital control panel with self diagnostics
  
• Top fan units - The use of a top ventilator leads to greater efficiency in operation than competitive side mounted models.
• ThermoLink Titanium Heat Exchanger - The primary cause of premature heat pump demise is the failure of the heat exchanger. Ordinary heat exchangers are made from a cupronickel alloy. This cupronickel material is susceptible to attack from the sanitizers used in pools and spas, and from other related water chemistry conditions. Once the heat exchanger fails, the heat pump is ruined. The ThermoLink™ Heat Exchanger tube is made from pure titanium, and is virtually impervious to water-chemistry damage.
• Key Pad Lock-Out - for tamper proof settings
• Scroll™ Compressor - Super efficient, heavy-duty and quiet operation.
• Microprocessor Computer Controls with Digital Thermostat – Consumer friendly technology instantly provides total comfort control using large easy-to-view digital L.E.D. status readouts and water resistant keypad, combined with a state-of-the-art microprocessor and dual thermostats.
• Corrosion Proof Cabinet – UV treated high-impact plastic cabinet is impervious to deterioration with an easy access panel for cleaning and servicing. Rust proof, fade proof and crack resistant.
• Off-Set Plumbing – For easy installation.
• Defrost Mechanism on Icebreaker models (ie SQ121R, SQ156R) to allow operation at low air temperatures
• Non defrost models operate down to about +6c air temperature. The Icebreaker models operate down to about -6c air temperature
  

ThermoLink™ is the patented Titanium technology used exclusively by AquaCal in heat pumps.*

At the heart of your heat pump is the patented ThermoLink™ Heat Exchanger. The primary cause of premature heat pump demise is the failure of the heat exchanger. Ordinary heat exchangers are made from a cupronickel alloy. This cupronickel material is susceptible to attack from the sanitizers used in pools and spas, and from other related water chemistry conditions. Once the heat exchanger fails, the heat pump is ruined.

The ThermoLink™ Heat Exchanger tube is made from titanium, and is virtually impervious to water-chemistry damage.

Titanium is a super-strong and long-lasting metal making it perfect for the pool environment. Not all Titanium is created equal however. Only ThermoLink™ Titanium technology uses a patented water management system that maximizes surface contact of pool water with our Titanium Heat Exchanger.

This is the most important factor in determining the efficiency of your heat pump. Generally, the greater the heat transfer, the greater the efficiency of your heat pump. And let’s face it, the reason most people buy a heat pump is because they want to get the absolute most for their heating dollar.

AquaCal heat pumps featuring ThermoLink™ Titanium technology offer you maximum strength, durability and performance and we are so sure of it that we guaranteed our Titanium Heat Exchangers for the life of your heat pump. This is just one more reason that AquaCal is America’s leading heat pump manufacturer.

What size heat pump do I require for my pool?

For an outdoor pool in the UK that is kept covered, use the following guide:-

AquaCal Sizing Guide

Model	Max Pool Size Supported (m3)
SQ120	100m3
SQ155	105m3
SQ175	115m3
SQ121R	95m3
SQ156R	110m3

(Note: These are the maximum pool sizes supported in optimum conditions, you should always oversize your heat pump whenever possible)

However many factors can affect the sizing of a heat pump for your pool. You are therefore strongly advised to contact us to get an accurate sizing recommendation for your particular pool.
