AquaCal HeatWave SuperQuiet® SQ160R Pool Heat Pump (Heat & Cool)

The HeatWave SuperQuiet® SQ160R is the perfect balance of power, performance, and precision. Equipped with AquaCal’s patented ThermoLink® Titanium Heat Exchanger and enhanced with IceBreaker® technology, the SQ160R delivers reliable heating and cooling—even in lower temperatures—extending your swim season longer than standard heat pumps.
Whether you're maintaining summer comfort or starting the season early in spring, the SQ160R ensures your pool is always ready.
What Sets the SQ160R Apart
ThermoLink® Titanium Heat Exchanger
AquaCal’s exclusive heat exchanger delivers maximum energy efficiency, especially when paired with variable speed pumps. Its unique hydraulic design allows:
-
Just 2 PSI of resistance at 45 GPM, increasing compatibility with two-speed and variable-speed pumps
-
Reduced RPM requirements for variable-speed pumps—lowering energy use
-
Shorter runtimes for single-speed systems—saving money with every cycle
IceBreaker® Technology for Extended Seasons
Unlike standard models, the SQ160R keeps performing when the temperature drops. IceBreaker® allows for both heating and cooling and continues operation in low ambient conditions, giving you the longest possible swim season.
Quiet Scroll Compressor
The scroll compressor ensures smooth, efficient operation with minimal sound—making the SQ160R one of the quietest heat pumps in its class.
Corrosion-Resistant Cabinet
Built for long-term durability in all environments:
-
Rust- and fade-proof construction
-
Louvered panels for coil protection and efficient airflow

Microprocessor Controls with Digital Display
The weather-protected control panel provides full-text, easy-to-navigate menus.
Supports integration with most external pool automation systems.
Also compatible with smart programming via AquaCal's HP9 or HP11 controllers for many popular variable speed pumps.
