Madimack InverTitan Review: Is the Premium Price Worth It?
An honest look at the InverTitan 90K, 112K, and 140K from an authorized Madimack dealer, including the warranty details most reviewers miss.
The Madimack InverTitan is the brand's high-output mid-range line, designed for pools in the 20,000 to 35,000 gallon range. It comes in three sizes, runs full inverter technology, and includes heat and cool as standard. There is also a warranty detail most reviewers skip over, which we cover below.
Who the InverTitan is for: Pool owners with larger pools who want inverter efficiency, heat and cool capability, and a strong warranty at a better price than the InverELITE series.

InverTitan vs. InverELITE vs. InverECO
Madimack makes three inverter lines. Here is how they stack up:
| Feature | InverECO | InverTitan | InverELITE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max BTU available | 66,000 | 140,000 | 116,000 |
| Pool size range | Up to 15,000 gal | Up to 35,000 gal | Up to 25,000 gal |
| Compressor type | Full inverter | Full inverter | Full inverter |
| Peak COP | Up to 14.0 | Up to 14.6 | Up to 15.0 |
| Heat and Cool | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Min. operating temp | 14°F | 14°F | 14°F |
| Heat exchanger warranty | 10 years | 25 years | 25 years |
| Compressor warranty | 5 years | 10 years | 10 years |
| Parts and labor | 3 years | 5 years | 5 years |
| Price range | $2,110 to $3,115 | $5,000 to $7,060 | $6,230 to $6,900 |
InverECO: Best for smaller pools on a budget
The InverECO covers pools up to 15,000 gallons using the same full inverter technology at a much lower price. The warranty is shorter at 10 years on the heat exchanger vs. 25 years on the InverTitan. If your pool is under 15,000 gallons, start here before stepping up.
InverTitan: Best for larger pools that need BTUs
The InverTitan is the right choice when your pool is too large for the InverELITE 116K. It goes up to 140,000 BTU, carries the same 25-year heat exchanger warranty as the InverELITE, and costs less per BTU of output. This is Madimack's sweet spot for large residential pools.
InverELITE: Best efficiency and quietest operation
The InverELITE tops out at 116,000 BTU, so it is not for pools over 25,000 gallons. Where it wins is peak efficiency (COP up to 15.0) and the quietest operation in the lineup. If your pool is 25,000 gallons or under and efficiency is the priority, the InverELITE edges out the InverTitan.
What We Like and What to Watch
What we like
- Three size options covering pools up to 35,000 gallons
- Full inverter on all three models, not just the top tier
- Heat and cool included as standard, no add-on required
- 25-year heat exchanger warranty is class-leading
- Operates down to 14°F, genuinely useful in cold climates
- Built-in Wi-Fi on all models
- Very quiet at low inverter speeds
What to watch
- The 140K is physically larger and heavier. Measure your equipment pad before ordering.
- If your pool is 25,000 gallons or under, compare with the InverELITE, which has higher peak COP and quieter minimum noise.
- If your pool is under 15,000 gallons, the InverECO covers it at a significantly lower price.
InverMAC Full Inverter Technology
All three InverTitan models use Madimack's InverMAC full inverter compressor. Here is what that means in practice:
- Variable speed: The compressor modulates from minimum to maximum output instead of cycling on and off at full power. The unit runs quietly at low speed most of the time once your pool reaches temperature.
- High COP: Because it runs at partial load most of the time, real-world efficiency is significantly higher than single-speed units. A COP of 14+ means roughly $14 of heating for every $1 of electricity.
- Operates to 14°F: Most standard heat pumps stop working below 45 to 50°F. The InverTitan keeps functioning down to 14°F, which meaningfully extends shoulder-season use in cold climates.
- Quiet: The 90K starts at 34.3 dB at 10 feet. Normal conversation is around 60 dB. You can have a poolside conversation with this unit running nearby.
