Description
Fast, convenient heating for spas and smaller pools. Connect to a suitable natural gas supply and bring your spa or smaller pool up to temperature when you want to use it. The HX120 combines electronic ignition, digital temperature control and a compact cabinet designed and built in Australia.
This is the natural gas version, part number 10972. Select the LPG listing if your installation uses bottled gas.
Why choose this heater?
- Heat when you need it: A practical choice for owners who prefer to warm their spa ahead of a planned soak or add heating to a correctly sized small pool.
- Easy temperature adjustment: Electronic touch controls display the actual water temperature and your selected setting.
- Automatic ignition: Electronic start-up removes the need for a continuously burning pilot light.
- Efficient heat transfer: The finned-tube heat exchanger transfers heat from the gas burner into the circulating water. AstralPool quotes up to 83% efficiency for the HX range.
- Outdoor-ready cabinet: A powder-coated cabinet protects the heater, while the standard balanced flue suits outdoor installation.
- Helpful diagnostics: The display reports operating status and fault information to assist with servicing.

Choosing the right heater
Heating time depends on the water volume, starting temperature, desired temperature, weather and heat loss. A pool or spa cover helps retain heat between uses. For a replacement, compare the existing heater label and connection positions before ordering.
Installation and compatibility
Your licensed gas fitter should confirm the gas supply, pipe sizing, water flow, electrical connection and required clearances. Indoor installation needs the AstralPool HX120 draught hood kit (10134), an approved flue and suitable ventilation; these installation items are additional to the heater.
Keep water balanced within the limits in the supplied manual, including a maximum salinity of 4,000 ppm. Installation and commissioning must follow the instructions supplied with the actual unit.
