ITS R32i Inverter Pool Heat Pump – 18.7kW

Overview

The ITS 18.7kW inverter pool heat pump draws heat from the outside air to warm your pool, using far less electricity than an element heater. Its variable-speed compressor slows down as the pool nears the set temperature, which keeps running costs and noise low. ITS rates it for pools up to about 60 000 litres (with a pool blanket), and it is controlled from the unit's display or a smartphone app.
