The AquaCal SQ166R is built for reliable heating, but even well designed equipment can show signs of strain over time. If your heater is struggling to maintain water temperature, showing error codes, or making unusual noises, it may be time for professional service. We help pool owners keep their SQ166R units running smoothly through expert repair and maintenance backed by years of hands on experience.
Florida Pool Heating has over 40 years of experience and is one of the most trusted names in pool heater service throughout South Florida. We are an authorized Gulfstream dealer with a reputation for excellence in service and customer care. Homeowners across the region turn to us for heater diagnostics, repairs, and full system replacements.
This system is known for durability, but that does not mean it is immune to wear. Factors like unbalanced water chemistry, salt exposure, and routine usage can lead to performance issues. Some of the most common signs that your SQ166R needs service include inconsistent water temperatures, loud operation, reduced heating efficiency, or error messages showing on the control panel. If your heater is cycling on and off more frequently than usual, that is also a sign something needs attention.
By addressing these problems early, you avoid more costly damage and protect the long term performance of your heater.
The SQ166R offers a heating output of 132000 BTUs. It uses R410A refrigerant for environmentally conscious performance. The titanium ThermoLink heat exchanger is designed to resist corrosion, and the unit operates on a 208 to 230 volt single phase circuit. It handles water flow rates from 30 to 70 gallons per minute. With cabinet dimensions of thirty four inches square and a height of thirty nine inches, the SQ166R fits well in most residential setups. It weighs approximately 264 pounds.
These specifications make the SQ166R a solid choice for medium and large residential pools. However, like any pool heater in Florida’s demanding climate, it still benefits from routine service to maintain consistent output.
When something is not right with your SQ166R, our technicians begin with a full system evaluation. We check all components, including the heat exchanger, refrigerant levels, sensors, capacitors, and flow sensors. We also review the electrical system and perform any necessary cleaning to restore safe and stable operation.
We handle failed part replacements, error code diagnostics, and performance testing on site. Most repairs are completed the same day. If parts are needed, we work with authorized AquaCal suppliers to reduce delays and get your heater running again as quickly as possible.
If your unit is less than ten years old and the problem is isolated, we almost always recommend repair. But if you are seeing multiple service calls or the unit is losing efficiency over time, we will help you explore the cost comparison between continued repair and an upgraded replacement.
You will receive a clear breakdown of service costs along with any upgrade options.
We do not upsell or pressure. We explain and support whichever path you choose based on performance, reliability, and budget.
