Benefits

The Pentair GulfStream PUR-15-0116 gives pool owners better control over water temperature in both warm and cool seasons. During cooler months, it helps heat pool water efficiently by transferring heat from the outside air into the pool. During hotter months, the cooling function can help reduce uncomfortable pool water temperatures.

This makes the HE 150-T-A a strong option for climates where pools can get too cold in spring and fall but too warm during peak summer. The titanium heat exchanger helps protect against corrosion from pool water chemistry and salt systems, while the efficient refrigerant system supports lower operating costs compared to less efficient heating methods.

Specifications

Customer-Facing Q&A

What is the Pentair PUR-15-0116?
The PUR-15-0116 is a Pentair GulfStream HE 150-T-A electric pool heat pump, commonly listed as GulfStream model HE150-TA.

Does this unit heat and cool?
Yes. The HE 150-T-A is commonly listed as a heat/cool model, meaning it can help heat pool water and also cool pool water when conditions are too warm.

Is this a gas heater?
No. This is an electric heat pump. It uses electricity and outdoor air heat transfer to manage pool water temperature.

What voltage does this unit require?
This model is commonly listed for 208/230V electrical service. Confirm all electrical requirements before ordering and installation.

What size plumbing does it use?
Current product data commonly lists 2 in. plumbing connections. Confirm installation requirements before publishing.

Can this be used for a spa?
It may be used for pool and spa temperature control when properly sized and plumbed. Heat pumps typically heat more slowly than gas heaters, so customers wanting very fast spa heat-up should confirm expectations before purchasing.

What size pool is this good for?
Some listings show the HE150-TA as suitable for pools up to approximately 27,000 gallons, but actual sizing depends on pool size, desired temperature, climate, wind exposure, cover use, plumbing, and run time.

Confirm Before Ordering

Confirm the following before purchasing:

Model: PUR-15-0116 / HE150-TA
Operation: Heat and cool
Voltage: 208/230V
Application: Pool and spa temperature control
Fuel type: Electric heat pump, not gas
Plumbing: Confirm 2 in. connection requirements
Pool size: Confirm proper sizing for climate, gallons, and heating/cooling goals
Electrical: Dedicated properly sized circuit required
Installation: Licensed electrical and pool professional installation required

Do not order by BTU alone. Heat pump sizing depends on pool gallons, surface area, location, wind exposure, desired water temperature, use of a pool cover, plumbing layout, and expected heat-up or cooldown time.
