Variable-speed inverter pool heat pump with titanium counter-flow heat exchanger for quiet, continuous swimming season extension. Engineered specifically for Canadian climates, the Hayward HeatPro VS series modulates heating output between 20% and 100% capacity to maintain precise pool water temperatures with up to 50% energy savings over standard single-speed units. Available in 80,000 BTU/h side-discharge (HP80CLEE1) and 115,000 to 140,000 BTU/h vertical top-discharge (HP115CLEE1 / HP140CLEE1) platforms for residential in-ground and on-ground pools up to 130,000 L (34,000 US gal).

Key features
- Variable-speed inverter rotary compressor — automatically modulates compressor and fan speeds to match real-time heat loss, maintaining target water temperature with sound levels as low as 40–54 dB(A).
- Counter-flow titanium heat exchanger — impervious to corrosion from electrolytic saltwater chlorinators (3,000+ ppm NaCl) and aggressive pool water chemistry balance.
- Active hot-gas defrost system — integrated reversing valve de-ices evaporator coils automatically, enabling dependable heating during chilly Ontario spring and autumn shoulder seasons down to 4 °C (40 °F).
- Integrated soft-start electronics — ramps motor speed smoothly from 0 rpm, eliminating high inrush current spikes and ensuring electrical service stability on residential panels.
- Digital keypad and automation compatibility — weather-protected digital touchscreen interface with built-in diagnostic codes, compatible with Hayward OmniLogic automation and standard 2-wire remote controls.
- Dual architectural chassis platforms — compact horizontal side-discharge cabinet (HP80CLEE1) for tight pad spaces and wall clearances, alongside high-capacity vertical top-discharge cabinets (HP115CLEE1 / HP140CLEE1) with wrapped blue-fin coil arrays.

Before you buy
- Electrical supply requires a dedicated 208–230 V single-phase 60 Hz circuit with an outdoor weatherproof disconnect switch (50 A breaker / 32 A MCA for HP80; 70 A breaker / 45–50 A MCA for HP115/HP140), bonded to the pool grid per Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1).
- Confirm your pool pump provides the minimum required water flow rate (18 GPM for HP80, 24.2 GPM for HP115, 30.8 GPM for HP140). An external bypass loop is recommended on high-flow variable-speed systems exceeding maximum GPM ratings.
- Maintain adequate outdoor clearance: horizontal side-discharge units (HP80CLEE1) require 1.5 m (5 ft) front exhaust clearance; vertical top-discharge units (HP115CLEE1 / HP140CLEE1) require 30 cm (12 in.) perimeter coil clearance and unrestricted upward overhead exhaust.
- Maintain balanced water chemistry (pH 7.2–7.8, total alkalinity 80–120 ppm, calcium hardness 200–400 ppm, and salt concentration 2,700–3,400 ppm) to ensure optimal operating efficiency and equipment longevity.
- For Canadian winter shutdown, disconnect CPVC plumbing unions, open manifold drain plugs, and blow clear all internal water passages with compressed air before freezing temperatures arrive.

Frequently asked questions
What plumbing connections are provided with the unit?
The unit includes factory 2-inch by 2.5-inch CPVC plumbing union connectors that solvent-weld directly to standard rigid Schedule 40 PVC pool piping.
Can this unit be controlled through pool automation systems?
Yes. The built-in digital keypad supports 2-wire remote connection and low-voltage RS-485 communication compatible with Hayward OmniLogic, OmniHub, and third-party relay automation panels.
What equipment pad clearances are required?
The horizontal side-discharge model (HP80CLEE1) requires 1.5 m (5 ft) of open discharge clearance in front of the fan and 30 cm (12 in.) around intake louvers. Vertical models (HP115/140) require 30 cm perimeter coil clearance and unrestricted upward overhead exhaust clearance.
How do I winterize the Hayward HeatPro VS in Canada?
Prior to winter freeze conditions, turn off electrical power at the breaker, unscrew both CPVC plumbing unions, remove the drain plugs at the bottom of the heat exchanger manifold, blow out internal water channels with oil-free compressed air, and fit a breathable protective cover over the cabinet.
