Our take on the AquaCal TropiCal T130 Inverter Pool Heat Pump (Heat and Cool)

The AquaCal TropiCal T130 is a full-inverter heat pump that both heats and cools a pool, rated at 47,500 BTU with a COP of 5 in boost mode. It runs on 230V with a 27.3A minimum circuit ampacity and uses a titanium heat exchanger, a 4-inch color touch screen and the PoolSync app for remote control. Eco mode is rated at 33 dB, quiet enough to sit near a patio. Its best new price is $5,519 at Sauna Heater Supply as of November 7, 2026, with two stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the T130 big enough for my pool?
