The AquaCal HeatWave SuperQuiet SQ120R is a 110,000 BTU inverter-style pool heat pump that both heats and cools water. Its IceBreaker function keeps it running in cold air, so it can extend the swim season beyond what most heat pumps manage. The titanium ThermoLink exchanger and corrosion-proof cabinet are built for salt and coastal pools. It suits owners of large inground pools who want quiet operation and year-round temperature control; the scroll compressor and louvered cabinet are its main edges over cheaper single-speed units, but smartphone control needs a separate PoolSync WiFi module.

Owners of AquaCal heat pumps generally report quiet running and long service life, and IceBreaker models are valued for keeping pools usable in cooler months. Complaints tend to center on the cost of add-ons like the WiFi controller and on installation requirements.
The AquaCal HeatWave SuperQuiet SQ120R is a pool heat pump with a heating capacity of 110,000 BTU. It uses IceBreaker technology to both heat and cool a pool, and it keeps operating in low temperatures to extend the swimming season. A scroll compressor provides quiet operation.
At its core is the patented ThermoLink Titanium Heat Exchanger. Its hydraulic design adds only 2 PSI at 45 gpm, which makes the unit compatible with two-speed and variable speed pumps. With a variable speed pump, it lowers the RPM needed to reach the same flow rate. With a single speed pump, it reduces the run time needed to reach the same pool turnover rate.
The cabinet is corrosion proof, rust and fade proof, and impact resistant. Louvered side panels protect the evaporator coil while allowing efficient air flow, and a built-in drain pan manages condensate. A weather-protected microprocessor control has a full text display for menu options and unit status. The unit is PoolSync Ready, so the mode (heat, cool or autotemp) and temperature can be set from a smartphone app once a PoolSync WiFi Controller is added.
