Frequently asked questions

What is the Waterco Portapac Demand Elite 15amp? The Portapac Demand Elite is a spa pump with a heater built in, made for portable spa pools. It pushes water through your spa jets and heats it at the same time, so you don’t need a separate heater or control panel. You turn it on and off with an air switch.

What size spa does it suit? The 15amp model has a 1.5hp pump and a 2.4kW heater. It suits larger spas with 6 to 8 jets.

What’s the difference between the 15amp and 10amp Portapac? The 15amp Portapac Demand Elite has a bigger pump (1.5hp vs 1.0hp) and a stronger heater (2.4kW vs 1.6kW), so it heats faster and drives more jets. The 10amp model suits spas with 4 to 6 jets. That said, the 15amp model needs a 15 amp power supply, so check what your spa has before you choose. If you’re not sure, give us a call.

How hot will it heat my spa? You can set the water anywhere between 20°C and 40°C. In auto mode, the Portapac holds your spa at the temperature you’ve set, so it’s ready when you want to use it.

Can I run an air blower with it? Yes. The Portapac has a blower outlet that runs a blower of up to 1.2kW.

Will it replace my old spa pump? In many cases, yes, though you may need some minor plumbing changes. Send us a photo of your current pump and we can let you know what’s involved.

Is there a touchpad version? Waterco no longer makes the touchpad models. The current Portapac Demand Elite uses an air switch.

Can I buy it online? The Portapac is available in-store only, so give Nicole a call on 0412 561 620 or send us an email for current pricing and stock. You can also visit our shop at 211 Stirling Highway, Claremont, which is open 7 days, 9am to 5pm. We deliver across Perth and WA.
