AquaCal Great Big Bopper BB500 Commercial Pool Heat Pump
The AquaCal Great Big Bopper BB500 is built for large commercial pool applications that need serious heating and cooling capacity in a single unit. Designed for aquatic facilities, resorts, hotels, schools, therapy pools, municipal pools, HOA pools, and large commercial swimming pools, the BB500 delivers high-output temperature control where residential-style heat pumps are not enough.
At the core of the BB500 is AquaCal’s Titanium ThermoLink® heat exchanger, designed to resist chemical corrosion and provide long-term durability in demanding pool environments. AquaCal’s patented counter-flow water management system helps transfer heat efficiently, making the Great Big Bopper a strong choice for commercial pools that need dependable water temperature control.
The BB500 is microprocessor controlled with a digital display for straightforward operation and service visibility. It is designed for both heating and cooling applications, making it useful for facilities that need to warm pool water during cooler periods and help reduce water temperature during hot weather.
With a required water flow range of 120–280 GPM, the BB500 is intended for properly engineered commercial plumbing systems. This unit should be sized and installed by qualified pool professionals familiar with commercial pool hydraulics, electrical requirements, and local code requirements.
For facilities that want app-based control, the BB500 is also PoolSync ready with the optional PoolSync WiFi Controller, allowing compatible AquaCal equipment to be controlled through the PoolSync app.
