The AquaStrong is a 120V inverter heat pump that both heats and cools pool water, running from 47–104°F in heating mode and 47–83°F in cooling. Its full DC variable-frequency compressor is rated at 15.8 COP and 55 dB, and an auto-defrost cycle starts every 40 minutes and finishes in about 5 minutes. It suits above-ground and smaller in-ground pools that need quiet, efficient temperature control with app scheduling. Against fixed-speed heat pumps it is quieter and more efficient, but buyers say it must be sized to the pool and given good airflow, or heating falls short in cold weather.

Rated 4.8 from 286 ratings, buyers mostly praise easy installation, quiet running and efficient heating with app control. Complaints center on weak heating when the unit is too small for the pool, cold-weather efficiency loss and installation mistakes like reversed plumbing or no pool cover.
The AquaStrong 35,000 BTU pool heat pump heats and cools pool water. It heats from 47 to 104℉ and cools from 47 to 83℉. It uses full DC variable frequency inverter technology with a 15.8 COP, and it adjusts its power output as conditions change.
You can control it from the app or the control panel. The app lets you change the temperature remotely, track energy use and program heating schedules. An automatic defrost cycle starts every 40 minutes and takes 5 minutes to complete, so the unit keeps heating in cold weather. Variable frequency operation keeps noise to 55 dB.
The heat exchanger is 100% titanium. The internal screws, brackets and key components are made of rust-proof materials. Three connection options, listed below, let it fit different pool plumbing. Undersized units can take much longer to heat a pool or may not reach the desired temperature.
