Poolex SilverLine Top 150 Inverter Heat Pump with Wi-Fi – 15.81kW Pool Heating & Cooling 🌊
Transform your pool into a year-round oasis with the Poolex SilverLine Top 150 – an ultra-efficient, whisper-quiet inverter heat pump that combines cutting-edge technology with stunning design. Perfect for pools between 70-90m³, this premium unit delivers powerful 15.81kW heating while cutting your energy bills by up to 35% annually.
Why Choose the SilverLine Top 150? ✅
Say goodbye to cold pool water and skyrocketing energy costs. The SilverLine Top 150 uses Full Inverter technology to intelligently adjust its performance to your pool’s exact needs – heating when required, staying silent when maintaining temperature. Control everything from your smartphone, enjoy whisper-quiet operation, and benefit from Class A seasonal efficiency (SCOP 7.45).
This isn’t just a heat pump – it’s your ticket to comfortable swimming from early spring through late autumn, with the confidence of premium German GMCC compressor technology and a corrosion-resistant titanium heat exchanger that laughs at chlorine and salt water.
🔥 Key Features & Benefits
💡 Full Inverter Technology – Up to 35% Energy Savings
Unlike traditional on/off heat pumps, the SilverLine Top 150 continuously adjusts compressor and fan speeds to match your pool’s needs. This smart modulation means you’re never wasting energy, resulting in 30-35% lower running costs over a year compared to conventional models.
📱 WiFi Smart Control with Poolex App
Control your pool temperature from anywhere using the Poolex smartphone app (iOS & Android). Adjust settings while you’re at work, activate boost mode on your way home, or set weekly schedules – all from the palm of your hand. No more trips to the garden in the rain!
🔝 Vertical Airflow Design – Space-Saving Innovation
The upward-facing fan design is a game-changer for tight spaces. Unlike traditional horizontal fans, the vertical configuration:
- Saves valuable floor space (only 750mm x 700mm footprint)
- Directs noise upwards and away from living areas
- Easier to position against walls or fences
- Better snow and rain resistance
🔇 Whisper-Quiet Operation
At just 42dB from 10 metres (quieter than a library), you’ll barely notice it’s running. The sound-dampened compressor and optimized fan design mean peaceful poolside relaxation without the background hum.
❄️ Year-Round Performance Down to -15°C
While competitors give up at +7°C, the SilverLine Top 150 keeps working efficiently down to -15°C ambient temperature. Extend your swimming season into spring and autumn, or maintain spa-like temperatures even on chilly days.
⚡ Outstanding Efficiency – COP up to 11.05
At optimal conditions, this heat pump delivers 11.05 units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed. Even in cooler 15°C weather, it maintains an impressive COP of 7.02 – meaning over 7kW of heat output for every 1kW of electricity used.
🛡️ Premium Titanium Heat Exchanger
The Twisted Tech© Titanium heat exchanger is specifically engineered to resist chlorine, salt water, and chemical treatments. This means decades of reliable service with minimal maintenance – a true set-and-forget solution.

⏱️ Real-World Heat-Up Time Estimates
How long will it take to heat my pool? Here are realistic estimates based on the 15.81kW heating capacity:
Standard Heating Scenarios (Using 12kW Average Output)
| Pool Volume | Temperature Rise | Estimated Time | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 70m³ | 5°C rise (18°C → 23°C) | 34 hours | Ambient 15-20°C, covered pool |
| 70m³ | 10°C rise (15°C → 25°C) | 67 hours | Ambient 15-20°C, covered pool |
| 80m³ | 5°C rise (18°C → 23°C) | 39 hours | Ambient 15-20°C, covered pool |
| 80m³ | 10°C rise (15°C → 25°C) | 77 hours | Ambient 15-20°C, covered pool |
| 90m³ | 5°C rise (18°C → 23°C) | 44 hours | Ambient 15-20°C, covered pool |
| 90m³ | 10°C rise (15°C → 25°C) | 87 hours | Ambient 15-20°C, covered pool |
Boost Mode Performance (Using 15kW Output)
| Pool Volume | Temperature Rise | Estimated Time | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 70m³ | 5°C rise | 27 hours | Warm weather (20°C+), Boost mode |
| 80m³ | 5°C rise | 31 hours | Warm weather (20°C+), Boost mode |
| 90m³ | 5°C rise | 35 hours | Warm weather (20°C+), Boost mode |
⚠️ Important Notes:
- Times are estimates and can vary based on ambient temperature, wind, pool cover use, and initial water temperature
- Pool covers reduce heating time by 40-50% by preventing overnight heat loss
- In Silent mode, heating times will be approximately 20-25% longer
- Warmer ambient temperatures significantly improve performance and reduce heating time
- Calculate time needed using: (Pool Volume in m³ × Temperature Rise °C × 1.16) ÷ Heat Pump kW = Hours
💰 Running Cost Comparison
Save significantly compared to traditional pool heating methods:
| Heating Method | Cost to Heat 80m³ Pool by 10°C | Annual Running Cost* |
|---|---|---|
| Gas Boiler | £95-120 | £850-1,100 |
| Electric Heater | £180-220 | £1,600-2,000 |
| Standard Heat Pump (COP 3.5) | £52-65 | £460-580 |
| SilverLine Top 150 (COP 7+) | £28-35 | £250-320 |
**Based on 6-month swimming season (April-September), maintaining 26-28°C, with pool cover

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to run per day?
At average UK electricity rates (28p/kWh) and maintaining 26°C in an 80m³ pool during the season, expect £1.20-2.50 per day with a pool cover. Without a cover, costs rise to £2.50-4.00 daily due to overnight heat loss.
Will this work with my salt water pool?
Absolutely! The Twisted Tech© Titanium heat exchanger is specifically designed to resist salt water corrosion. However, ensure your salt chlorinator is installed after the heat pump in the hydraulic circuit to avoid concentrated salt exposure.
How loud is it really?
At 10 metres distance, it produces 42.3dB(A) – quieter than normal conversation (60dB). From 1 metre, you’ll hear 54dB – similar to a quiet office environment. In Silent mode, it’s even quieter.
Can I heat my pool in winter?
While the unit operates down to -15°C ambient, practical winter heating depends on your climate. In most UK regions, cost-effective heating is viable March through October. Mid-winter heating (Dec-Feb) is possible but less efficient and more expensive.
Do I need a pool cover?
While not mandatory, a pool cover is highly recommended. It reduces:
- Heat loss by 70-80% overnight
- Heating time by 40-50%
- Running costs by 30-50%
- Evaporation and chemical use
- Debris entering the pool
ROI on a pool cover: Typically recoups its cost within 1-2 seasons through energy savings alone.
How long does installation take?
Professional installation typically takes 4-6 hours including:
- Positioning and mounting the unit
- Hydraulic connections with bypass kit
- Electrical wiring and safety devices
- WiFi setup and commissioning
- User training
DIY installation is possible for competent individuals but professional installation is recommended to maintain warranty validity and ensure optimal performance.
What maintenance is required?
Minimal! The SilverLine Top 150 is designed for low maintenance:
- Monthly: Check water flow, clean pool filter
- Annually: Professional service including electrical checks, refrigerant pressure check, evaporator cleaning
- Seasonal: Winterize if ambient temperatures drop below 3°C when not in use
Can I control multiple heat pumps with one app?
Yes! The Poolex app supports multiple devices simultaneously. You can control several heat pumps, spa heaters, or other compatible smart devices from a single interface.
What happens if there’s a power cut?
The heat pump has automatic restart functionality. When power is restored, it will resume operation according to your last settings (if power-off memory is enabled in settings). Temperature settings and schedules are retained.
Is WiFi connection mandatory?
No – the heat pump operates perfectly via the integrated touch control panel. WiFi is an optional convenience feature for remote control and monitoring. You can always use manual controls if WiFi is unavailable.
How does it compare to gas pool heating?
Major advantages over gas:
- 70-80% lower running costs (COP 7+ vs gas efficiency ~80%)
- Zero carbon emissions during operation
- Quieter operation
- No gas safety concerns
- Lower maintenance costs
- Eligible for low-carbon heating incentives
Consideration: Initial heating from cold is slower than gas (days vs. hours), but maintaining temperature is much more economical.
Can it heat my pool fast enough for a weekend event?
In Boost mode with a pool cover, the SilverLine Top 150 can raise an 80m³ pool temperature by 5-6°C in 30-36 hours. For best results when planning events:
- Start heating 2-3 days in advance
- Use Boost mode initially
- Keep pool covered when not in use
- Switch to Eco mode once temperature is reached
