iGarden IG17 Series Full-Inverter Pool Heat Pump

iGarden IG17 Series Full-Inverter Pool Heat Pump

The iGarden IG17 Series is a full-inverter pool heat pump built for Australian backyard pools, delivering a COP of up to 17 for efficient, cost-effective heating. Rather than switching on and off at full power, the inverter compressor and fan adjust smoothly to match demand — heating fast when you need it, then running quietly once your pool reaches temperature. Available across four capacities (IG17-14C, 18C, 21C and 32C) to suit pools from roughly 31m³ up to 110m³.

Key Features

• Full-inverter technology — smooth compressor and fan adjustment instead of on/off cycling
• COP up to 17, average COP around 12, for lower running costs
• Wide operating range from -15°C to 43°C for extended-season swimming
• Ultra-quiet operation from approximately 38dB(A) at 1m
• Saltwater and coastal-ready construction
• Aluminium alloy casing for outdoor durability
• Smart app control for scheduling, mode switching and real-time power monitoring
• 3 operating modes: Turbo, Smart and Silence
• Outlet water temperature up to 40°C
• Soft-start technology to reduce electrical load on startup
• 5-year warranty

Ideal For

Extending your swimming season without a spike in running costs. The high-COP inverter design suits pool owners who heat regularly and want to minimise electricity use, while the wide operating temperature range and saltwater-ready construction make it a practical fit for most Australian climates and coastal properties. Choose the model sized to your pool volume — as a rough guide, larger or unheated/uncovered pools need more capacity to heat efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does COP mean, and why does it matter?
COP (Coefficient of Performance) measures how much heat output you get per unit of electricity used. A COP of 17 means up to 17kW of heat from just 1kW of power — the higher the COP, the lower your running costs for the same heating result.

How long does it take to heat a pool?
Most home pools take around 24 to 72 hours to reach the desired temperature, depending on pool size, starting temperature, weather and the heat pump's capacity.

Is it suitable for saltwater pools?
Yes — the IG17 is built with corrosion-resistant materials suited to saltwater and coastal environments.

How do I choose the right size?
Sizing depends on your pool volume, whether it's covered, indoor or outdoor, and your target water temperature. Contact us with your pool details and we can help you match the right model.
