Astral ECOLite IHP120 Benefits
Energy-efficient inverter heating. The IHP120 uses full inverter technology to automatically adjust heating output based on pool demand, helping reduce electricity consumption while maintaining stable water temperature.
Lower running costs. Designed for efficient operation, the ECOLite range can reduce energy usage while still providing fast and reliable pool heating performance.
Quiet everyday operation. With operating noise levels starting from just 37.6 dBA, the IHP120 is designed to run quietly in residential environments without disrupting nearby living or entertaining spaces.
Built for Australian conditions. The corrosion-resistant cabinet and titanium heat exchanger are designed to withstand coastal environments, humid climates, and harsh outdoor conditions.
Smart control options. The touchscreen control interface provides simple operation, while the optional WiFi module allows convenient remote monitoring and adjustment through the Aquatemp app.
Environmentally conscious design. The use of eco-friendly R32 refrigerant helps improve efficiency while reducing environmental impact compared to older refrigerant technologies.
