Warranty Info

The AstralPool Pinnacle 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.

A full capacity range for residential and larger pools

The Pinnacle range is the broadest heat pump line AstralPool offers, running across six capacities. That breadth matters because pool heating is unforgiving of approximation. Too small and the unit runs constantly without reaching temperature. Too large and you have paid for capacity the pool will never call on.

Six models to choose from

The range covers the SD 107, SD 125, SD 153, SD 217, SD 250 and SD 315. Smaller units suit sheltered residential pools, while the larger models handle bigger volumes, exposed sites and installations that need to hold temperature through cooler months.

Side discharge design

These units vent air out the side, which generally suits open plant areas with room around the unit. Where clearance is tight, the top discharge IHPT range is usually the better fit, and we can advise which suits your site.

What drives running cost

Heat pump efficiency depends heavily on air temperature, so a unit works hardest in the cooler months when you are most likely to want it. Using a cover, running the pump during the warmer part of the day and sizing the unit properly all make a measurable difference to what heating actually costs you across a season.

Frequently Asked Questions About the AstralPool Pinnacle Heat Pump

Answers to common questions about capacity, running costs and installation, so you can choose the right Pinnacle model with confidence.

When is resurfacing recommended?

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.

category
What does a pool pump do?

A pool pump moves water through the filtration system so debris can be removed and treated water can circulate back into the pool.

category
What is the difference between resurfacing and renovation?

Resurfacing renews the interior finish. Pool renovations can be broader, covering tile replacement, coping updates, plastering or other improvements around the pool.

category
How do I know if my pool pump needs replacing?

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.

category
Is refurbishment suitable for older pools?

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.

category
Are energy efficient pool pumps worth considering?

Yes. An energy efficient pool pump may help reduce running costs and improve efficiency, especially for pools that need regular circulation throughout the year.

category
Do you work on concrete pools?

Yes. Sparkling Pools provides concrete pool refurbishment and resurfacing options for concrete swimming pools, depending on the condition of the existing interior.

category
What size pool pump do I need?

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.

category
What does concrete pool resurfacing involve?

Concrete pool resurfacing renews the interior of a concrete pool with a suitable finish, improving the surface, appearance and long-term usability.

category
How long does a pool pump usually last?

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.

Full pool and spa renovation in St Mary's Bay, Auckland, including Quartzon Galaxy interior resurfacing, new tiles and copings, lighting, heat pump installation, and filtration relocation.
In November 2011, my partner and I purchased a property with a swimming pool and spa. Having never previously owned a property with pool facilities, we relied on Grant, Julia and the rest of the team at Sparkling Pools to bring us up to speed with what was required to keep the pool in order. Combined with this, some pool equipment components had been neglected by previous owners; Grant made time to come and carry out a complimentary inspection of the pool, from a holistic perspective, and to give us detailed feedback on what improvements (heating, filtration equipment, covers etc) we could make, over time, bearing our budget in mind. The pool and spa are now looked after on a regular basis by Sparkling Pools on a specific customised maintenance plan. Denis (our dedicated valet man) comes on time, on the same week-day each time, and he does a great job maintaining the pool. We love the team from Sparkling Pools and we love the service we get from them. The pool and spa always look and feel fantastic, and looking after them is one job we just never have to worry about!

A full interior renovation of a large, elegant older pool on a beautiful Kohimarama property, including new Quartzon plaster, waterline tiles, copings, and LED lighting upgrades.
Our older pool was looking incredibly worn and really needed a complete refresh to match the character of our heritage property here in New Zealand. The team completely transformed the space. The new Santorini blue plaster and updated waterline tiles breathed completely new life into the area without losing its original elegance. The upgrade to modern LED lighting means the pool looks absolutely stunning in the evenings, creating a perfect atmosphere for entertaining. The entire process was incredibly professional, and the final result perfectly complements our home.

This project comprised all the classic elements of a comprehensive pool renovation; interior resurfacing, including some engineering adjustments; renovation of tile-work; full equipment upgrades and installations; and subsequent ongoing pool maintenance contract.
Last winter, Sparkling Pools undertook the renovation of our swimming pool. Sparkling Pools did a terrific job and we were delighted with the results. SPL’s performance throughout the project was very professional. Senior management constantly checked the work at different stages and they maintained excellent communication with us throughout. We are happy to commend Sparkling Pools to other Auckland pool-owners who might be considering pool interior renovations or equipment upgrades, particularly noting their reliability, their professionalism and the obvious pride they take in their work and their products. Subsequent to the pool renovations, SPL has continued to look after our pool on a regular basis and we are very happy to have them do so. With SPL looking after our pool, it is now one aspect of property care I never have to worry about.
