AquaCal Pool Heater Specs — BTU Ratings & Efficiency Table
AquaCal pool heater datasheet summary: model-by-model BTU ratings, efficiency and COP from official sources, linked line by line — with sizing context against the industry formula.
Quick answer
AquaCal's published heater lineup covers 3 models across 2 product lines (heat pump), spanning 112,000 to 127,000 BTU/hr. Heat pump figures are delivered heat output, rated at warm-air test conditions. Check any model against your pool's requirement with the BTU calculator.

AquaCal leans efficiency-forward: its heat pump line carries COP figures up to 5.6 at warm-air test conditions. That matters most in mild climates — the heat pump vs gas calculator shows where the advantage ends.
Every figure below traces to an official AquaCal source (linked per table); anything the sources don't state is marked "(to be verified)" rather than guessed. To see whether a given BTU rating fits your pool, run the BTU calculator first.
AquaCal TropiCal (Heat pump)
AquaCal's heat pump line (T90/T115/T135) with the patented ThermoLink titanium heat exchanger.
| Model | Rated BTU/hr | Efficiency / COP | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| TropiCal T115 | 112,000 output | COP 5.6 | 112,000 BTU/hr heating capacity, COP 5.6, 220V single phase 60 Hz. |
| TropiCal T90 / T135 | (to be verified) | (to be verified) | Same series, smaller/larger capacities — per-model spec in official catalog (to be verified). |
AquaCal HeatWave SuperQuiet (Heat pump)
SuperQuiet line rated ~55 dB; four BTU sizes from ~9,000 up to 127,000 BTU/hr; scroll compressor.
| Model | Rated BTU/hr | Efficiency / COP | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| HeatWave SuperQuiet (SQ series) | 127,000 output | (to be verified) | Range ~9,000-127,000 BTU/hr across four sizes (e.g. SQ50AHDS at the small end); 55 dB rating; auto heat/cool for pool-spa combos. |
How to read these specs against your pool
Heat pump ratings are heat output at warm-air test conditions; real output falls with air temperature, so shoulder-season swimmers size one step up. The heat pump vs gas calculator prices the difference at your rates.
Three practical checks before buying: first, confirm the required capacity with the BTU calculator (wind, shade and a solar cover move it); second, match the rating type — don't compare a gas input figure against a heat pump output figure; third, verify the exact model against the official AquaCal datasheet and your installer's gas-line or electrical assessment, because installation constraints, not the spec table, decide what can actually be connected.
Then estimate what the model costs to run in the running cost calculator. This page is independent — no affiliation with AquaCal; brand names are trademarks of their owners.
FAQ
Where do these AquaCal specifications come from?
Every figure is captured from AquaCal's own published material — official product pages, datasheets and installation manuals — with the source link shown under each table and a capture date. Nothing on this page comes from retailer listings or third-party claims about AquaCal products.
Why do some fields say "(to be verified)"?
When AquaCal doesn't publish a number for a field (a COP value, for example), this page leaves it marked "(to be verified)" instead of estimating it. The missing figure changes nothing about the ratings that are published — and the BTU calculator works from capacity, which every model states.
How do I compare AquaCal with another brand?
Compare the same rating type: input BTU/hr against input, output against output, and convert gas input to delivered heat at the stated efficiency. All brand pages on this site follow the same table format from the same capture discipline, so brand pages are directly comparable — that is the point of running them on one neutral site.
