AstralPool Ecolite Heat Pump
An efficient inverter pool heat pump range in four capacities, built to extend your swimming season. Available in-store only.
The AstralPool Ecolite is an inverter pool heat pump range built to extend the swimming season without the running costs of gas heating. It draws warmth from the surrounding air rather than generating heat directly, which makes it an efficient option for Auckland conditions.
The range covers four capacities, from the IHP120 through to the IHP240, so the unit can be matched to your pool volume, how exposed the site is and how much of the year you want the pool usable. Our team can size it for your pool before you commit.
- Models: Ecolite IHP120, IHP160, IHP180 and IHP240
- Product codes: WH000641, WH000642, WH000643 and WH000655
- Inverter heat pump technology
- Suitable for residential swimming pools
- Sizing determined by pool volume, site exposure and cover use
- Detailed capacity, power draw and dimension specifications available on request
The AstralPool Ecolite range is covered by a manufacturer-backed warranty. Duration, terms and conditions are set by the manufacturer and depend on the model, the installation and how the unit is maintained.
Sparkling Pools can assist with warranty registration and act as your local point of contact if a fault arises, arranging assessment and coordinating the claim with the supplier.
Heat pump warmth without the running costs of gas
A pool heat pump does not generate heat directly. It moves heat from the surrounding air into your pool water, which is why it can deliver several units of heat for every unit of electricity it draws. Over a full Auckland season that difference in efficiency is what makes heat pumps the most economical way to keep a pool comfortable.
Four capacities across the range
The Ecolite range spans the IHP120, IHP160, IHP180 and IHP240. Larger units heat a given pool faster and hold temperature more easily through cooler and windier weather, while smaller units suit sheltered pools or owners happy to heat over a longer lead time.
Getting the sizing right
Undersizing is the most common mistake with pool heating. A unit that is too small will run almost continuously in shoulder season and still struggle to reach temperature. Correct sizing depends on pool volume, how exposed the site is, whether a cover is used and how far into autumn and spring you want to swim. Sparkling Pools can work through all of that before you commit.
Covers make a real difference
Most heat loss from a pool happens at the surface through evaporation. Pairing any heat pump with a cover substantially reduces how hard the unit has to work, and it is the single most effective thing you can do to lower heating costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About the AstralPool Ecolite Heat Pump
Answers to common questions about sizing, running costs and installation, so you can choose the right Ecolite model with confidence.
Swimming pool resurfacing is usually recommended when the interior feels rough, looks stained, starts flaking, becomes chalky or no longer responds well to regular cleaning.
A pool pump moves water through the filtration system so debris can be removed and treated water can circulate back into the pool.
Resurfacing renews the interior finish. Pool renovations can be broader, covering tile replacement, coping updates, plastering or other improvements around the pool.
Pool pump replacement may be needed if the pump is noisy, leaking, losing prime, struggling with circulation, frequently cutting out or no longer performing reliably.
Yes. Pool refurbishment is often suitable when the pool structure is still sound, but the surface, tiles or finish have become dated, worn or harder to maintain.
Yes. An energy efficient pool pump may help reduce running costs and improve efficiency, especially for pools that need regular circulation throughout the year.
Yes. Sparkling Pools provides concrete pool refurbishment and resurfacing options for concrete swimming pools, depending on the condition of the existing interior.
The right pool pump size depends on the pool volume, pipework, filter type and equipment setup. A pump should be matched to the whole system, not chosen by size alone.
Concrete pool resurfacing renews the interior of a concrete pool with a suitable finish, improving the surface, appearance and long-term usability.
A pool pump can last for several years, but lifespan depends on the model, installation quality, running hours, water conditions and how well the equipment is maintained.
