GulfStream Heat Pumps

GulfStream Pool Heat Pumps for Above Ground & Inground Pools

Every GulfStream pool heat pump in the HE RA (heat only) and TA (heat/cool) series runs on 220V power and features a titanium heat exchanger, ABS UV-resistant housing, built-in WiFi, and a scroll compressor for quiet, efficient operation. All models carry a 7-year parts warranty and a 2-year labor warranty with limited coverage extending to year 10.

Frequently asked questions

Do GulfStream heat pumps have WiFi control?

All five GulfStream models in this collection include built-in WiFi capability. To enable remote control from your phone, you'll need the GulfStream Compass WiFi Controller and Extender, sold separately. Once set up, you can monitor and adjust your pool temperature from anywhere using the free Compass app.

Can I use a GulfStream heat pump to heat a spa or hot tub?

Yes. Every GulfStream model includes a spa mode that can heat water up to 104°F, the standard maximum temperature for residential spas. This makes them a practical dual-purpose option for pool/spa combinations, as long as the heat pump is correctly sized for the combined water volume.

Are GulfStream heat pumps compatible with saltwater pools?

Yes. GulfStream heat pumps feature a titanium heat exchanger, which is highly resistant to the corrosion that chlorine and salt can cause in standard copper or cupronickel exchangers. That said, if you have a saltwater pool, the metal framework of the pool structure and all connected equipment, including the heat pump, must be properly bonded together per local electrical code. Bonding protects against galvanic corrosion and is a safety requirement. Consult a licensed electrician or pool professional if you're unsure whether your system is correctly bonded.

What is COP, and why does it matter for pool heating costs?

COP stands for Coefficient of Performance — the industry-standard measure of heat pump efficiency. A COP of 6.8 (as rated on all GulfStream HE models) means that for every 1 unit of electricity consumed, the heat pump delivers 6.8 units of heat energy. By comparison, gas pool heaters typically operate at 85–95% efficiency. A higher COP translates directly to lower monthly operating costs, especially in climates where the heat pump runs frequently.

What is the difference between the RA (heat only) and TA (heat/cool) models?

The RA series (HE 110 RA, HE 125 RA, HE 150 RA) are heating-only units. The TA series (HE 125 TA, HE 150 TA) are full heater-chiller units that can both heat and cool your pool water. The cooling function is particularly useful in hot climates where summer water temperatures can exceed comfortable swimming levels. TA models carry a higher price point to reflect the added refrigeration capability.

What size GulfStream heat pump do I need for my pool?

Sizing depends primarily on your pool's volume, your local climate, and how quickly you want the pool to heat. As a general guide: the HE 110 RA handles pools up to 15,000 gallons, the HE 125 RA up to 23,000 gallons, and the HE 150 RA up to 27,000 gallons. Colder climates or shaded pools may benefit from sizing up. If you're unsure, call the Nonstop Swim team at 800-809-3741. We can help match the right model to your pool.

What warranty do GulfStream heat pumps carry?

All GulfStream HE models include a 2-year labor warranty and a 7-year parts warranty, with limited coverage (70% off MSRP on parts) extending through years 8–10. Installation support is available through Nonstop Swim! Ask about local options when you order.
