55,000 BTU, 240 Volts The reliable, time-tested solution to heat your pool. Experience the remarkable power of our FH255 pool heat pump. Designed for up to 10,000-gallon pools, this heater provides a user-friendly, cost-effective solution to extend your swimming season, all while running on clean electricity. What size pools will the heater work with? The FH255 will heat pools up to 10,000 gallons, 21' round, or 15' x 30' oval. Is it saltwater compatible? Yes, the FH255 along with all of our other heat pumps are compatible with both freshwater and saltwater pools. How long does installation take? Installation takes roughly 45-60 minutes. How can I optimize the unit's performance? The FH255 will work best in humid climates and above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. As the air gets dryer and the temperature lower, the performance of the unit will decrease. How warm will my pool get with the heater? The unit is rated to heat 10,000-gallon pools up to 82 degrees under optimal conditions. Technical Specifications Heat output 55,000 BTU/hr Power requirements 240v/60hz COP 5.92x Dimensions 40" x 16" x 24"
CLEAN AND GREEN The FH255 is powered by clean electricity, reducing the harmful environmental effects and cost of traditional heaters that use natural gas or propane. Our pumps instead move heat from the air into the water, which saves you money and is a breeze to maintain
COMPATIBLE WITH In ground pools up to 10,000 gallons and above ground pools up to 21 foot round or 15 by 30 foot oval. As with all heat pumps, we recommend using in a humid climate down to 50 degrees for best performance. Dry climates are better served by a traditional gas heater

2 week update:It is now April 30th here in upstate NY, average high temp during the day is around 60 and low temperatures are getting down into the mid 30s. This thing has been doing an amazing job of keeping my pool warm. We had two nights this week that the low temperature at night was actually 33-34F and this was still able to get my pool back up into the 80s during the day (after a slight drop at night into the mid 70s). From what I've seen it looks like it is able to maintain a water temperature roughly 20-22 degrees above the ambient air temperature (but that is with my solar cover on the pool). This is really what I wanted to know before I bought it, so I hope that helps. This really only applies to people on the east coast as the air is much dryer out west. Also note that I have an 18' round above ground pool, which is roughly 8000 gallons.Original Review:Just got this installed on Friday and got it up and running. I live in upstate NY and it is still getting into the upper 30s and 40s at night. When I filled my pool Friday afternoon the water temp was 52F. It is now Saturday night, 9 PM, and the water temp is 64F. It was a nice day today and the high temp was about 65F, but there is no way the pool would have warmed up by 12 degrees in 24 hours on its own. NO WAY. So the heat pump is doing its job.I did the whole installation myself and it was relatively straight forward for me, but I've installed several heat pumps so I know what I am doing. I had to run a new 240V circuit down to my pool and I installed a new electrical junction box with mini breakers for the heat pump and filter pump. The startup of this heat pump is about as easy as it gets and it runs very quiet.A complaint I have with this is the ports they use for the plumbing connections. They are PVC compression ports (1.5"). Although the connections end up being fairly rigid and leak free once the compression fittings are tight, I would have definitely preferred a threaded MPT port as I think most would.The three pre-drilled holes and electrical cable glands they include are also kind of strange. I actually think it would be preferable if they didn't pre-drill any holes for the electrical and allow the installer to do whatever they need/want based on what they are installing. I ran 12/3 SOOW cord underground from my junction box and actually needed a larger gland than the ones included. Luckily I was able to get a larger one into the pre-drilled hole without modification, but barely. Had I needed a larger hole, it would have been a pain. I say either get rid of the pre-drilled holes or put different size knock-outs in the sheet metal.So far I am happy with it but I can't comment on longevity. I will definitely be updating this review sometime during the summer or early fall depending on how it runs throughout the summer. But I don't really expect any issues.
