Introducing Toyesi, Thermace, and Platypus Heat Pumps

Whether you’re managing a bustling swim school, a luxury resort, or a backyard oasis, reliable pool heating isn’t just about comfort—it’s about consistency, customer satisfaction, and long-term value. And in Australia’s demanding climate, that means choosing systems built to endure.

At Toyesi, we’ve spent over 30 years crafting heat pump solutions that go beyond the box. Proudly Australian-made, our self-branded Toyesi heat pumps are designed for commercial, outdoor, and in-plant environments—engineered to last 10+ years with minimal fuss. From stainless steel chassis to service-friendly layouts, every Toyesi unit reflects decades of field-tested durability and technical refinement.

But we know one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why we’ve expanded our offering to include:

• Thermace Heat Pumps: A sleek, imported range tailored for both domestic and commercial projects. With a compact footprint and traditional styling, Thermace units offer a cost-effective solution without compromising performance.
• Platypus Mini Heat Pumps: Designed for small backyard pools, spas, and portable setups, Platypus units bring a compact, plug-and-play applications—perfect for tight spaces and quick installs.

Together, these three ranges offer a complete spectrum of pool heating solutions—from large-scale aquatic centres to boutique wellness retreats and backyard escapes. Whether you’re sizing for a rooftop plant room or a garden spa, we’ll help you find the right fit, backed by real-world experience and local support

Featured Brand

Actually… no. Not all heat pumps are created equal.

Many low-cost imported brands cut corners on critical features. Sure, they might “work” on paper—but they often lack the safety, reliability, and longevity needed for real-world pool environments. And too often, pool companies act as box movers—selling whatever’s cheapest to win the job, without considering long-term performance.

Here’s what we see far too often:

• ❌ No internal safety systems like high/low pressure cut-outs or flow switches—leading to heat exchanger burnout and costly failures.
• ❄️ Freeze-up issues and long defrost cycles, especially with hot gas bypass systems.
• 🌬️ Top discharge only designs that recirculate cold air, reducing efficiency and increasing freeze risk.
• 📉 COPs quoted at unrealistic conditions (27°C water, 26°C ambient)—a red flag for hidden inefficiencies.
• ⚡ Inverter COPs manipulated by quoting standby-mode performance, not full-load reality.
• 🌀 Prop fans used indoors, choking airflow and tanking efficiency.
• 🔥 Flammable refrigerants, such as R32 (an A2L refrigerant), used indoors without proper safety protocols.
• 📏 Heat load sizing based only on water volume, often undersizing the system to win the sale.
• 🧱 Thin titanium alloy exchangers in PVC shells—the titanium may survive, but the shell won’t.
• 🏗️ Domestic units installed in commercial settings, leading to premature failure.
• 🧃 Inflated warranties with hidden pro-rata conditions, providing great product apear whilst masking poor build quality, & encouraging a throwaway mindset.

And that’s just the start.

At Toyesi, we design systems to last—because your pool deserves more than a quick fix. We build for safety, serviceability, and real-world performance. No shortcuts. No gimmicks.

At Toyesi, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every pool environment is unique—whether it’s a rooftop lap pool, a chloramine-heavy indoor swim school, or a backyard spa tucked into a tight corner. That’s why we offer three distinct heat pump ranges, each engineered to meet specific performance needs, budgets, and installation constraints.

🛠️ Toyesi Heat Pumps

Australian-made. Commercial-grade. Built to last.

Toyesi units are the backbone of our legacy—designed and manufactured right here in Australia to handle the toughest conditions. These systems are bespoke-built to suit each project, not mass-produced to hit a price point. Whether installed outdoors, in plant rooms, or integrated into complex aquatic systems, Toyesi heat pumps deliver uncompromising performance.

• Materials that matter: 304 stainless steel chassis standard, with optional 316 upgrades for coastal or corrosive environments.
• Implant Specialist – Toyesi units can be dedigned and built exlusively for implant applications.
• Longevity baked in: Epoxy-coated coils, full internal safeties (HP/LP, flow switches), and smart defrost systems ensure 10+ years of reliable service.
• Tailored to fit: Units are often custom-sized and configured to match your space, load profile, and operational goals.
• Installation Flexibility – Manyof the Toyesi units can be modified for sound attenuation,  lowline or small footprint, and can even be built on site.
• Service-friendly design: Modular layouts and off-the-shelf components make maintenance straightforward and cost-effective.

These are not budget boxes—they’re premium engineered solutions built for output, efficiency, and real-world durability.

🌐 Thermace Heat Pumps

Compact. Quiet. Versatile.

Thermace is our sleek, imported range—developed for both domestic and light commercial applications. It’s ideal for boutique resorts, wellness centres, and backyard pools where aesthetics and performance go hand in hand.

• Flexible construction: Available in PBS plastic or powder-coated sheet metal, with optional 304 stainless steel chassis upgrades.
• Traditional footprint: Compact design makes it easy to integrate into existing spaces without compromising on efficiency.
• Quiet operation: Designed for environments where noise matters—like residential zones or spa retreats.
• Balanced performance: Thermace units offer solid COPs and reliable heating, making them a smart choice for projects that need quality without overengineering.

Thermace brings Toyesi’s engineering standards to a broader market—without sacrificing integrity.

🦘 Platypus Mini Heat Pumps

Small footprint. Big heart.

Platypus Mini is our robust little system—perfect for small backyard pools, spas, and portable setups. It’s the plug-and-play solution for tight spaces, quick installs, and budget-conscious projects that still demand reliability.

• Built tough: Powder-coated sheet metal chassis designed to withstand outdoor conditions.
• Quality Built: Even in its compact form, Platypus carries commitment to quality, safety, and serviceability.
• Ideal for DIY and retrofit: Easy to install, easy to operate, and sized for smaller thermal loads.

Platypus proves that small doesn’t mean flimsy—it’s a compact powerhouse built with the same care as our largest systems.

Toyesi has over 30 years of tacit knowledge in sizing heat pumps and chillers. We have a range of Toyesi Australian-made equipment, as well as a range of imported more domestic-oriented systems.

We can take your project, and your working conditions and choose the correct equipment for you. We know that a 50kW heat pump in Tasmania is very different from a 50kW heat pump in Darwin. Not all off-the-shelf heat pump solutions fit all projects.  So why not drop us a line (Click Here)
