The AquaStrong PRO 100 is a full DC inverter pool heat pump that both heats and cools water, rated for pools up to 26,000 gallons. It claims a 15.8 COP and 70% savings over traditional electric heaters, with app and panel control, 46–55 dB operation and auto-defrost. It suits owners of large above-ground or in-ground pools who want a longer season and remote control. Against fixed-speed heat pumps it is quieter and more efficient, but owners report it struggles in cold weather and needs a pool cover to hold heat.
