-
Quiet operation
Models: AquaHeat Inverter and AquaHeat Inverter Pro.
Sizing & Selection
Sizing depends on:
-
Pool volume (gallons)
-
Climate
-
Desired temperature rise
-
Solar cover usage
Consult your dealer for a sizing recommendation. Undersized heat pumps run constantly and never reach target temp.
Installation
-
Place outdoors with adequate airflow clearance (3+ ft on all sides)
-
Mount on a level pad
-
Plumb inlet (from filter) and outlet (to pool)
-
Wire to a dedicated breaker per spec
-
Pair with Illuminex app
Always have a licensed electrician do the wiring.
Operation
-
Set target temperature in the app
-
Schedule heating around your usage to save energy
-
Heat pump runs only when ambient temp is suitable
-
Below ~45°F, performance drops significantly
Winterization
In cold climates, winterize the heat pump:
-
Drain water from the heat exchanger
-
Disconnect power
-
Cover the unit (with airflow gaps — don't use a sealed plastic tarp)
-
