Full Speed. 93% thermal efficiency. Fires instantly on cold mornings, after a storm, before a party. Gas power with none of the wait and none of the waste.
Low Cost. Pulls warmth from the surrounding air using a fraction of the energy. The economical choice for holding your set temperature all season long.
Long Haul. Every component chosen for longevity in a pool environment. TitanTough pure titanium means the heat exchangers will outlast anything that touches pool water.
Full Performance Always. As of January 1, 2026, California’s Title 24 code requires that a new or renovated pool’s primary heat source be an efficient option — a heat pump qualifies; a gas-only heater does not. The UltraTemp ETi Hybrid was practically built for this rule: the heat pump handles everyday primary heating to satisfy the code, while the 220K gas side stands ready for a fast boost or cold-weather backup. One unit. Code compliant. Full gas speed whenever you want it.
Path to Warm. The Hybrid mode’s onboard logic doesn’t just toggle between two sources — it continuously evaluates how far the water is from your set point, how quickly the heat pump alone can get there, and whether firing the gas is worth the extra cost for the time you’ll save. Then it acts. Every time.
Yes — in Hybrid mode, the onboard logic continuously evaluates the gap between your water temperature and set point, your timeframe, and energy cost, then selects the most economical and fastest path. You can also manually choose Heat Pump Only, Gas Only, or Dual mode at any time.
Yes. California’s 2025 Title 24 code (effective January 1, 2026) requires that a new or renovated pool’s primary heat source be efficient — a heat pump qualifies. The UltraTemp ETi Hybrid runs the heat pump as the primary source for everyday heating, satisfying the code, while the 220K BTU gas side provides boost and backup whenever needed. One unit covers both requirements.
No. The UltraTemp ETi Hybrid has an internal water bypass that handles up to 120 GPM, so there is no external bypass plumbing required. This simplifies installation considerably compared to traditional pool heaters.
Yes. The UltraTemp ETi Hybrid interfaces natively with Pentair EasyTouch automation and runs seamlessly with IntelliFlo variable-speed pumps, allowing full scheduling and control through your existing Pentair system.
The UltraTemp ETi Hybrid is Pentair’s first product to combine a genuine electric heat pump and a 220,000 BTU gas heater in a single cabinet — with four integrated modes (Heat Pump Only, Gas Only, Hybrid, and Dual) and intelligent onboard logic that manages both sources together. No other Pentair product has offered this combination before.
