The trade-off is slower heat-up and reduced output as air temperature falls, which makes it best suited to extending your swim season rather than heating a cold pool quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this model cool as well as heat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The SQ140ARDSBPA is heat only. For cooling, AquaCal's TropiCool range reverses the cycle to drop water temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size pool does it suit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 114,000 BTU it is sized for typical residential inground pools. Sizing depends on surface area, desired temperature rise, wind exposure and whether the pool is covered - a heat pump that is undersized will simply run continuously without reaching setpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat electrical supply does it need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e208\/230V single phase on a dedicated circuit sized by a licensed electrician. Confirm your panel has capacity before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is this different from the SQ160?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutput. The SQ160ARDSBPA is the 6.7 kW model delivering up to 128,000 BTU. Both share the same cabinet and platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it work in cold weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutput falls as air temperature drops. Heat pumps work best above roughly 50 F ambient, which is why they suit season extension rather than winter heating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho should install it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA qualified pool professional, with electrical connection by a licensed electrician. Professional installation is generally required to validate manufacturer warranty coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ps4u-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the part number for this heat pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAquaCal lists this heat pump under part number SQ140ARDSBPA. Quote SQ140ARDSBPA when you cross-reference against your equipment manual or a parts diagram, so you are comparing the same revision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I confirm this suits my pool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat pump sizing depends on pool surface area, the temperature rise you want, wind exposure and whether you use a cover. Send us your pool dimensions and location before you order and we will confirm the fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this ship freight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. At 304 lb and 37 x 36 x 43 inches this is a freight item. Please review delivery terms at checkout, and make sure someone is available to receive and inspect the unit on delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes a heat pump need an electrician?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Pool heat pumps require a dedicated circuit with correct bonding and grounding under electrical code. Have a licensed electrician handle the supply side and disconnect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take to heat a pool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically 24 to 72 hours for the initial heat-up depending on pool size, starting temperature and ambient conditions. After that the unit maintains temperature far more quickly, and a cover makes a substantial difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a warranty on this heat pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries the standard AquaCal manufacturer warranty. The terms are set by AquaCal, and coverage generally requires installation by a licensed professional. Keep the receipt and register the unit after purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
