Benefits of an inverter pool heat pump

Upgrade your private oasis with a swimming pool inverter heat pump designed for performance, efficiency, and long-term value. 

Smarter, energy-efficient heating

DC inverter technology adjusts the compressor and fan speed to your pool’s real-time heating needs. This variable-speed operation delivers the exact amount of heat required, saving up to 50% more energy than fixed-speed systems.

Lower running costs

As they only use the energy needed at any moment, inverter heat pumps curb electricity bills. Efficient operation also puts less strain on components, reducing wear and extending your unit’s lifespan—making it a clever long-term investment.

Fast, consistent water temperatures

Unlike traditional heat pumps that constantly turn on and off, inverter technology maintains a steady, comfortable pool temperature. No more fluctuations—just reliable heating when you want it, whether it’s a sunrise swim or an evening dip.

Ultra-quiet operation

Inverter pool heat pumps are designed for near-silent performance. With twin rotary compressors and noise-suppressing casings, you’ll enjoy peaceful poolside relaxation without the hum of a loud motor—perfect for suburban backyards.

Built for Australian conditions

Crafted from non-corrosive, marine-grade materials, our heat pumps handle Australia’s tough climates—from scorching sun to salty coastal air. The robust design ensures dependable performance, even in extreme conditions.

Reliable in all seasons

Planning to swim year-round? Many of our inverter pool heat pumps are built to operate in cold weather, with some models performing in temperatures as low as -10°C. No matter where you live, you’ll get reliable heating in any weather.

Eco-friendly pool heating

Inverter pool heat pumps not only cut energy use—they’re better for the planet. These systems use eco-conscious refrigerants and produce fewer carbon emissions, giving you a greener way to heat your pool.

 

Find the perfect inverter pool heat pump for your home

Here’s what to consider when selecting a swimming pool inverter heat pump.

Pool size & water volume

The size of your pool directly impacts the type of heat pump you need. Larger pools demand more powerful units to maintain consistent temperatures, while smaller pools can run efficiently on compact models.

Heating performance & energy efficiency

Want fast heat-ups or steady heating over longer periods? Some models prioritise rapid heating, while others are built for all-day efficiency. Think about how and when you use your pool to find the right balance of speed and energy savings.

Local climate & seasonal use

If you live in a cooler area or want to swim year-round, look for a model built to perform in lower temperatures. Cold-climate inverter heat pumps are engineered for consistent operation, even when the mercury drops.

Space, ventilation & installation

Your heat pump needs proper airflow to work efficiently. Make sure there’s enough space around the unit for installation and ventilation. Our experts can guide you through site requirements and help plan the best layout for your pool.

FAQs

What is an inverter pool heat pump?

An inverter pool heat pump is a high-efficiency pool heating system that automatically adjusts its compressor and fan speeds to match the pool’s current heating needs. 

Unlike traditional heat pumps that run at a fixed speed, inverter models operate at variable speeds, resulting in more consistent water temperatures, quieter performance, and up to 50% lower energy consumption.

What is inverter technology?

Inverter technology in pool heat pumps allows the compressor and fan to automatically adjust their speed based on your pool’s heating needs, rather than operating at a single fixed speed like traditional heat pumps.

• Instead of constantly turning on and off—which uses more power and puts stress on the system—inverter heat pumps can run at lower, energy-saving speeds for longer periods. This smoother operation offers several key benefits:
• Improved energy efficiency: By only using as much power as needed, inverter heat pumps significantly reduce electricity consumption, helping lower your running costs.
• Quieter performance: Because the unit isn’t constantly powering up and down, it operates more quietly—even at full power.
• Longer lifespan: Reducing wear and tear on internal parts helps extend the life of your heat pump.
• Consistent water temperature: The variable-speed motor provides a steady and comfortable water temperature without major fluctuations.

In short, inverter technology makes pool heating more efficient, more comfortable, and more economical—making it a smart upgrade for any pool owner.

Are inverter pool heat pumps energy-efficient?

Yes, inverter pool heat pumps are highly energy-efficient, thanks to their ability to adjust power output based on your pool’s real-time heating needs. 

This smart technology allows the system to use less electricity while still maintaining a comfortable, stable water temperature.

How do I choose the right inverter heat pump for my pool?

To choose the right inverter heat pump for your swimming pool, consider your pool’s size, local climate, how often you swim, and your ideal water temperature. You should also factor in whether or not your pool will be covered.

Where should I install my pool heat pump?

Residential inverter pool heat pumps are designed for outdoor installation and should be placed in a well-ventilated area with good airflow. 

They’re built using marine-grade aluminium alloy to withstand Australia’s harsh weather conditions, including rain, wind, and coastal environments.

How long does an inverter pool heat pump ​run each day?

The daily run time of your pool heat pump depends on a combination of factors, including the size of your heat pump, the volume of your pool, the time of year, your target water temperature, and whether the pool is covered when not in use.

Key factors affecting run time include:

• Pool size: Larger pools require more energy and time to heat, so they may need longer heating cycles.
• Outdoor temperature: In warmer months, the heat pump may only need to run for 1–3 hours a day to maintain your desired water temperature. In cooler seasons or in colder climates, daily run time may increase to 8–10 hours or more.
• Pool cover usage: Using a pool cover significantly reduces heat loss overnight and minimises evaporation, meaning your heat pump won’t need to work as hard or run as long.
• Desired temperature: Heating your pool to higher temperatures—especially during cold weather—will naturally require longer run times.
• Heat pump size and power: A properly sized (or slightly oversized) heat pump can reach and maintain your preferred temperature more quickly and efficiently. Undersized units often run for extended periods and may still fall short of the target temperature.

Most residential inverter pool heat pumps are designed to operate for anywhere between 4 to 16 hours a day, depending on demand. 

While these systems can technically run up to 24 hours, it’s rarely necessary—and usually a sign the unit isn’t powerful enough for your pool’s needs.

Can I install an inverter pool heat pump myself?

DIY installation is possible, but we recommend professional installation to ensure the unit performs efficiently and complies with safety standards.

What maintenance is required for inverter pool heat pumps?

To keep your heat pump running efficiently, regular maintenance is essential. This includes:

• Cleaning the heat exchanger
• Checking refrigerant levels
• Inspecting electrical connections

We recommend scheduling a professional service at least once a year to extend the life of your unit and maintain performance.

How much does an inverter pool heat pump cost?
