Our take on the AquaCal HeatWave SuperQuiet SQ120R IceBreaker Heat Pump

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.

About the AquaCal HeatWave SuperQuiet SQ120R IceBreaker Heat Pump

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.

Questions and answers

Does the SQ120R heat and cool the pool?
Yes. IceBreaker lets it run in heat, cool or auto mode, so it can chill water in hot weather as well as warm it.
How cold can it operate?
AquaCal rates IceBreaker units to keep working at lower air temperatures than standard heat pumps, extending the swim season. Check the spec sheet for the exact low-temperature cutoff.
Is WiFi included?
No. The unit is PoolSync-ready, but the WiFi controller that enables smartphone control is sold separately.
What size pool is 110,000 BTU good for?
It suits large inground pools, roughly in the 30,000 to 40,000 gallon range depending on climate, cover use and target temperature. Size up if you want fast heat in cool weather.
Will it hold up in a saltwater pool?
The ThermoLink titanium exchanger and corrosion-proof cabinet are designed for salt and chemically treated water, which is a key advantage over units with cupronickel exchangers.
What do I need for installation?
A level pad, plumbing connections and a dedicated electrical circuit sized for the unit. A qualified pool heat pump installer should handle the hookup.
