    I have had a SQ155AHDSBTM since 2014, and it os still working great after almost 7 years, it warms up great, my only issue was a control (screen) failure but was covered under warranty without any issues. This is the best brand in the market, totally recommended. When I ever need another heat pump, I would only go with AquaCal.

    Have the same issue as other people. Display shows code ota, apparently it’s an over temperature alarm. Not sure what is going on because the water is barely 70 degrees. Can’t get ahold of anybody because it’s the weekend. Some people work during the week. 😕

    This heat pump works great!! It heats about one (1) degree per hour, it does consumes about 7.5 Kwh in case you’re wondering, I wish it would be a little more energy efficient, but all the other features and the way it heats up the pool is great. I have a 12,000 gal pool and it heats it up to 86 degrees in about 3-4 hours

    This thing is awesome it heats the spa really quick and hardly makes any noise at all, If I did not feel the water the only way to tell if it is running is to walk over and see if the fan is spinning. I would defiantly purchase again!!
