Description
The TURBRO Manatee M18 Swimming Pool Heat Pump is a compact and energy-efficient pool heater designed to extend your swimming season while reducing operating costs. Utilizing air-source heat pump technology, the M18 captures heat from the surrounding air instead of generating it with gas or propane, delivering up to 18,000 BTU of heating power with an impressive COP of 5.5. Ideal for above-ground pools, inflatable pools, small in-ground pools, and spas up to 6,000 gallons, it provides reliable heating and cooling performance while consuming significantly less electricity than traditional pool heaters. Featuring a titanium heat exchanger, brushless DC fan motor, R32 refrigerant, and plug-and-play 110–120V operation, the Manatee M18 is built for durability, quiet operation, and effortless installation.
