3 Phase Heat & Cool
Power your aquatic facility with a 3 Phase Heat & Cool pool heat pump designed for commercial duty and year-round water temperature control. Professional installation required.
Power your aquatic facility with a 3 Phase Heat & Cool pool heat pump designed for commercial duty and year-round water temperature control. Professional installation required.
Built for light commercial pools and spas, these 3-phase heat pump systems provide dependable heating and cooling for community centers, hotels, multifamily, and fitness clubs. Licensed contractors and property managers choose this category for stable operation, quick recovery, and efficient performance under long run times.
Models in this category feature approximately 142,000 BTU output for high-capacity needs and use R-410A refrigerant with a Heat & Cool operating mode. SEER2 ratings do not apply to pool heat pumps; performance is measured by water-side BTU output and operating conditions rather than indoor air metrics. As pool heat pumps, they integrate into standard filtration loops and are optimized for continuous aquatic use.
Ideal for new installations and replacements of existing 3-phase pool heat pumps, these units support year-round temperature control-warming in cooler months and cooling in peak summer. Three-phase power enhances reliability, reduces starting stress, and supports larger loads common in commercial environments. A budget-friendly price range from $5050 to $5695 helps control project costs without compromising durability.
GulfStream leads this category with commercial-grade construction and Heat & Cool functionality, offering a trusted solution for facilities that demand consistent, efficient pool and spa performance.
A dedicated 3-phase circuit, proper bonding/grounding, and clear airflow are required. Installation must be performed by a licensed contractor per local codes and manufacturer specifications.
Sizing depends on pool surface area, desired temperature rise, wind exposure, and usage. Your contractor should perform a load calculation to confirm 142,000 BTU suitability.
Yes. Units in this category include a Heat & Cool operating mode to warm in cooler seasons and cool water during hot months for year-round control.
These models use R-410A. HFC regulations are evolving; R-410A remains widely supported. Always follow local rules on handling, service, and end-of-life recovery.
Rinse coils, maintain clear airflow, keep water chemistry balanced, and schedule periodic inspections. Corrosion-resistant materials and protective covers help extend service life near salt air.
Three-phase power enables smoother starts, balanced load, and robust performance for larger systems. Overall efficiency varies by model, but reliability under long runtimes is a key advantage.
Most commercial models provide external control terminals for basic enable/disable and setpoint calls. Verify the specific unit’s control interface with your installer.
Coverage is provided by the manufacturer and may vary for commercial use. Keep documented professional installation and maintenance to preserve warranty eligibility.
Yes. Maintain the manufacturer’s recommended flow range; a bypass valve may be needed with high-output pumps to prevent excessive flow through the heat exchanger.
They are designed for outdoor installation with specified clearances. Minimum ambient operating temperatures vary by model; follow placement and airflow guidelines for best performance.
