Overview
Why choose the Turbotemp
Turbotemp is a fully pre-mixed air-and-gas pool and spa heater that heats water quickly, whenever you want it. Hot-surface ignition means there's no pilot light to fail or waste energy, and a rustproof composite exterior handles the weather. Available in sizes from the compact 125 (spas and courtyard pools) up to the 400HD, in natural gas or LPG — with heavy-duty cupro-nickel models for salt-chlorinated pools.
No pilot light
Hot-surface ignition means there’s no standing pilot to fail or waste gas — it lights only when you need heat.
Clear digital display
A digital display with a rotating screen stays readable from any install position.
Compact & rustproof
A compact, rustproof composite design needs little pad space and shrugs off the weather.
Certified low-NOx
Certified low-NOx emissions that exceed industry standards for cleaner burning.
Multiple safety systems
Pressure switch, high-limit switches, flue sensor and a manual gas shut-off for safe operation.
Salt-pool ready
Cupro-nickel heat-exchanger models stand up to salt-chlorinated pool water.
Sizes for any job
From the compact 125 for spas and courtyards up to the 400HD for larger pools.
The technology
How gas pool heating works
Gas heating gives you heat on demand — it doesn’t rely on the sun or the air temperature, so it warms your pool fast, any time of year, to exactly the temperature you set.
Hot-surface ignition
An electric hot-surface igniter lights the burner instantly — there’s no standing pilot light to fail or waste gas.
Pre-mixed air & gas burns
Air and gas are pre-mixed and burned in the combustion chamber for clean, efficient, high-output heat.
Heat transfers to your water
Pool water is pumped through the heat exchanger above the burner and rapidly absorbs the heat.
Fast, on-demand warmth
The thermostat holds your set temperature and the pool gets there quickly — whenever you want to swim.
Choosing a size

Spas & small pools
The compact 125 and 200 suit spas, plunge pools, courtyards and small pools where on-demand heat and a small footprint matter most.
300 – 400HD
Larger pools & fast heat
The 300, 400 and heavy-duty 400HD deliver the output to heat larger pools quickly, with the 400HD built for the hardest-working installs.

Questions, answered
Before you decide
Does Turbotemp have a pilot light?
No. It uses hot-surface ignition, so there’s no standing pilot light to fail or waste gas — the burner lights only when heat is needed.
Can I use it on a salt-chlorinated pool?
Yes — choose a model with the cupro-nickel heat exchanger, which is built to handle salt-chlorinated water.
Natural gas or LPG?
Both are supported. Your installer will set the heater up for whichever fuel you have.
