Astralpool Pinnacle

The Astralpool Pinnacle iHP SD 153 is the ideal mid-range solution for Kiwi families who want to maximise their pool investment without the high running costs of traditional heaters. While standard heaters operate at 100% capacity and then shut off, the iHP SD 153 uses Full Inverter technology to modulate its output in 1% increments. This precision ensures that once your pool reaches the desired temperature, the unit scales back to a low-power "maintenance mode," consuming only a fraction of the electricity used by conventional systems.

• Intelligent Inverter Technology: The variable-speed compressor and fan work in harmony to deliver superior energy efficiency. By avoiding the constant "stop-start" cycles of older models, this unit reduces mechanical wear and achieves a much higher COP (Coefficient of Performance), effectively lowering your household's carbon footprint and energy bills.
• Optimised for NZ Conditions: Built to handle everything from North Island humidity to South Island frosts, the iHP SD 153 features an advanced operating range down to -15°C. Its intelligent, automated reverse-cycle defrosting system ensures the unit remains ice-free and functional even on the coldest winter mornings.
• Whisper-Quiet Residential Performance: Designed with sensitive neighbourhoods in mind, the unit incorporates multilayered acoustic insulation around the compressor. This sound-dampening technology allows the heater to operate at near-silent levels, making it perfect for properties where the equipment is located close to entertaining areas or bedrooms.
• Versatile 15.3kW Capacity: This model offers the perfect power-to-efficiency ratio for most medium-sized New Zealand family pools. It provides the thermal "grunt" needed to heat water quickly in the spring, while remaining efficient enough for daily temperature maintenance.
• Total Smartphone Control: Never wait for your pool to warm up again. With the integrated Wi-Fi module and dedicated app, you can monitor live temperatures, adjust settings, and set heating schedules from your phone. Whether you're finishing work or heading back from a weekend away, a warm pool can be ready the moment you arrive.
• Coastal-Ready Durability: To combat New Zealand's salt-laden coastal air, the iHP SD 153 is built with a high-grade Twisted Titanium Heat Exchanger. This premium component is exceptionally resistant to corrosion from salt-water chlorinators and pool chemicals, all housed within a rugged, UV-stabilised cabinet.
• Sustainable R32 Refrigerant: The Pinnacle iHP series utilises R32 refrigerant, which offers a 60% lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) than traditional refrigerants. It is not only more environmentally friendly but also more efficient at heat transfer, further maximising your energy savings.
