from 85 reviewsOnce the trampoline was installed, the kids really enjoyed bouncing on it and had so much fun.
Happy Hideouts was very helpful with helping me choose the correct trampoline.
Quick delivery and very happy with the service
My kids have found this to be the best trampoline outside of some of the professional trampolines that they have been on. They love it and live on it! Doubles have become easy and they are working on bigger tricks already. Happy hideouts were really easy to order from, either great advice given. 10/10 service.
Purchased the hexagon 55 inch rebounder and the quality of the material is evident upon opening the box. The assembly was straight forward and easy for one person. Having previously purchased a spring rebounder which was not kind to my back and joints the Acon rebounder was a welcome improvement from the first bounce. The equipment is sturdy with a lovely bounce. I am enjoying the wider surface bounce area afforded by the bigger rebounder, and enjoy using it daily. Happy Hideouts service was quick and efficient. I can definitely recommend the company and especially the Acon 55 inch hexagon rebounder.
We finished installing our trampoline (everything went to plan!) - it’s perfect, our girls love it and say that it is the best bounce they have experienced on a home trampoline. Happy Hideouts were very supportive with help choosing the right trampoline and during the whole process.
We purchased the Acon X trampoline and we received a fantastic service: Happy Hideouts kindly advised what accessories were best for our planned use of the trampoline, and which were not yet required. Delivery from abroad was fast. Installation was smoothly undertaken by Happy Hideouts team. The finished trampoline is awesome - far better than our previous outdoor competition-grade trampoline, from a different supplier. Aftercare by Happy Hideouts deserves particular praise. We have no hesitation in recommending the Acon X trampoline and Happy Hideouts: 10 out of 10.
Trampoline arrived very quickly one item was lost by courier but replace by Warren the next day.
Can't fault them would say i'd by my next trampoline from these guys again but it will out last me and my kids because its so well built !
I ordered from here as the price was really good.
The re bounder was delivered promptly and it is really excellent, great build quality.
I did have a minor issue with the handlebar, but they sorted that out with no issues.
Great product, price and brilliant customer service, what more could you ask.
Service and communication was great from happy hideouts. The trampoline was straightforward to assemble, and you can see that it’s fantastic quality and heavy duty, compared with a normal garden trampoline. The kids have used indoor professional ones for the past 2 years, and they consider this to have a very similar bounce. They are on it non stop, so well worth paying the money if you want a high quality outdoor trampoline.
Communication was excellent from advice before ordering to delivery to after sales.
We paid to have them build the trampolene and that was very efficient and on time.
Overall very pleased with the company and would certainly be buying from them again.
I had wanted to upgrade our swimming pool this year (I seem to have predicted our recent heatwave!), but the larger pool that I wanted was sold out everywhere. I managed to find one at Happy Hideouts and so after a bit of digging contacted Warren on whatsapp to ask when it would be able to be delivered if I ordered it. Warren said it would only take a couple of days as it was in stock. So I took the plunge and ordered it. I got updates on the order and delivery dates, and then 2 days later it arrived, exactly as detailed on their website. We have now been using it for 2 weeks in this heatwave and it is a godsend for my 4 kids (and all their mates!). Well done Happy Hideouts, you have made some kids very happy.
Not knowing anything about pools,great help and advice,all items received in great condition and kept informed during the transit of the pool,and a help line if any problems occur,which they didn't, fully recommended them
The pool is superb for all of the family, we have upsized from small circular to this beast!! Brilliant. It is already warm enough for the less brave and the children love it.
I was after a model that is currently not available in UK. Quick whatsapp exchange and 3 days later I got a quote for importing it for me from EU. Absolutely fantastic. I was kept updated about progress and delivery was scheduled for the day that suited me best.
Would highly recommend 👌
Great installation service. Highly reccommed.
Great service from start to finish, delivery and installation. Highy reccomend.

Is the Thermotec Inverter Heat Pump Really Worth It? Here’s Why It Saves Energy and Keeps Running Costs Lower.
Choosing a Thermotec inverter heat pump is all about making pool heating more efficient and more manageable over time. Unlike older-style systems that simply switch on and off at full power, inverter technology allows the heat pump to adjust its output depending on demand. That helps maintain a steadier water temperature while using energy more sensibly, which is exactly what you want when you’re trying to keep the pool swim-ready without spending a fortune.
For families who want to make the most of their pool across more of the season, that makes a real difference. You’re not just heating water for the odd sunny afternoon — you’re creating a setup that feels more practical for regular use. Lower running costs, more stable performance and less waste all add up to a much better long-term investment than a basic fixed-speed unit.
What’s included with the Thermotec Inverter Pro Pool Heat Pump?
✓ Full inverter technology for efficient pool heating
✓ Heating and cooling functions for year-round use
✓ Free Wi-Fi control for easier temperature management
✓ Mitsubishi inverter compressor for reliable performance
✓ Quiet brushless DC fan motor
✓ Operates in air temperatures down to -15°C
✓ Lockable touch screen control panel
✓ Durable titanium heat exchanger
✓ Automatic hot gas defrost system
✓ Safe for chlorine and saltwater pools
✓ 3-year parts and labour warranty
✓ 5-year compressor and heat exchanger warranty
What Makes the Thermotec Inverter Pro Such a Smart Upgrade? Here’s Why It Delivers Quieter Heating and Easier Everyday Use.
The Thermotec Inverter Pro range stands out because it offers more than simple heating power. It’s built to make pool ownership feel easier. With inverter-driven performance, modern controls and quieter operation, it’s a smarter choice for households that want something efficient but also pleasant to live with. If your pool sits near the house, patio or garden seating area, quieter running is one of those features you’ll appreciate very quickly.
It also helps that the range includes practical features like WiFi control, so managing the temperature feels far less fiddly. Rather than trekking outside every time you want to check or adjust the settings, you get a much more convenient way to stay in control. Add in the durable titanium heat exchanger and broad model range, and it’s clear this is designed for proper day-to-day use rather than just looking good on a spec sheet.
Is the Thermotec Inverter Pro Price Worth Paying? Here’s Why the Efficiency and Features Make It a Strong Long-Term Investment.
The thermotec inverter pro price reflects the fact that this is a premium bit of pool equipment, but that’s exactly why the features matter. A cheaper heat pump can look tempting at first, but if it’s noisier, less efficient and harder to manage, it may end up costing more in both running costs and frustration. The Thermotec Inverter Pro range is designed to give you stronger long-term value through better efficiency, easier control and a build that’s made to cope with regular use.
When you’re spending good money on a pool heat pump, you want it to feel worthwhile every time you use it. This range offers that extra reassurance through its smart controls, efficient inverter technology and durable materials suited to chlorine and saltwater pools alike. It’s the sort of investment that makes sense for pool owners who want to use their pool more often, extend the season, and avoid the usual faff that comes with lower-quality equipment.
You can also compare Thermotec pool heat pumps across the full range, including Mini, Neo, Inverter Pro and Inverter Edge models. For a more detailed breakdown, see our Thermotec Mini vs Neo vs Inverter Pro vs Inverter Edge comparison.
What size Thermotec Inverter Pro do I need for my pool?
If you want the short answer, the right Thermotec heat pump size depends on your pool volume, whether the pool is covered, how warm you want the water, and how much of the season you want to use it. Because this page combines both horizontal models from 9kW to 24kW and vertical models from 29kW to 34kW, the sensible first step is to work out your pool volume and then match it to the right part of the range.
The sizing guide below is based on a covered swimming pool. If your pool is uncovered, very exposed to wind, or you want stronger heating earlier and later in the season, it is usually better to size up rather than cut things too fine and spend the summer quietly annoyed.
| Model | kW | Recommended Max Pool Volume | Absolute Max Pool Volume |
| Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 9kW | 9kW | 30m³ | 45m³ |
| Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 12kW | 12kW | 40m³ | 60m³ |
| Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 17kW | 17kW | 50m³ | 75m³ |
| Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 20kW | 19.5kW | 65m³ | 95m³ |
| Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 24kW | 24.2kW | 75m³ | 120m³ |
| Thermotec Inverter Vertical 29kW | 28.6kW | 93m³ | 116m³ |
| Thermotec Inverter Vertical 34kW | 34kW | 109m³ | 136m³ |
| Thermotec Inverter Vertical 34kW (3 Phase) | 34kW | 109m³ | 136m³ |
Please note: the recommended maximum volume is the sensible target for efficient everyday heating. The absolute maximum volume is more of an upper limit, and in real life a covered pool will generally perform better if you size to the recommended figure rather than the absolute one.
How to work out your pool volume
Before choosing a Thermotec Inverter Pro, it helps to know your pool volume in cubic metres (m³). It is not the most thrilling bit of pool ownership, admittedly, but it does make choosing the right heat pump much easier and saves a good deal of second-guessing later.
| Pool shape | How to calculate volume |
| Rectangular pool | Length × Width × Average Depth = Pool volume in m³ |
| Round pool | Radius × Radius × 3.14 × Average Depth = Pool volume in m³ |
| Oval pool | Length × Width × Average Depth × 0.89 = Pool volume in m³ |
Example: if your pool is 7m long, 3.5m wide and has an average depth of 1.3m, the volume would be 7 × 3.5 × 1.3 = 31.85m³.
Koi pond sizing guide
If you are using a Thermotec Inverter Pro for a koi pond heated all year round, with a winter temperature of around 12°C and a summer temperature of around 20 to 22°C, the guide below is the more relevant one. This assumes the pond is covered in winter, which is rather important if you would prefer not to heat the outdoors for free.
| Model | Max Pond Volume |
| Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 9kW | 4500 gallons |
| Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 12kW | 6000 gallons |
| Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 17kW | 7500 gallons |
| Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 19.5kW | 9600 gallons |
| Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 24kW | 11,600 gallons |
| Thermotec Inverter Vertical 29kW | 13,800 gallons |
| Thermotec Inverter Vertical 34kW | 19,900 gallons |
| Thermotec Inverter Vertical 34kW (3 Phase) | 19,900 gallons |
What affects the right heat pump size?
Pool volume is the starting point, but it is not the whole story. The right size also depends on whether you use a cover, how exposed the pool is to wind, your target water temperature, and whether you want mainly peak summer use or a longer season. If the pool is uncovered or particularly exposed, it is usually worth stepping up in output rather than going right to the edge of what might theoretically cope.
All pools and ponds should ideally be covered to reduce heat loss and keep running costs sensible. For outside pools, a solar cover makes a real difference. For indoor pools, a proper thermal blanket is the better choice. Covering the water for most of the day helps preserve heat, reduce evaporation and stop your heat pump from having to work harder than necessary.
Horizontal vs vertical Thermotec Inverter Pro models
The horizontal Thermotec Inverter Pro models are generally the natural choice for most domestic pool setups in the 9kW to 24kW range. The vertical models come into their own when you need more output, more heating support, or you are dealing with a much larger pool and want a more serious bit of kit. So if your pool is small to mid-sized, you will usually be looking at the horizontal range first. If it is very large or more demanding, the vertical models are where things start to make more sense.
