FibroPool Swimming Pool Heat Pump - FH255 55,000 BTU - for Above and In Ground Pools and Spas - High Efficiency, All Electric Heater - No Natural Gas or Propane Needed

I bought this heater for a 10,000 gal in ground pool. The installation was easy, you can find a detailed installation video on youtube if you look for the model and brand that is very helpful. It took a couple of days to get the water to the desired temperature (97F) but my kids had use it daily since. We stopped using the pool in September last year due to the low temperature of the water that has been at least below 74 F so I decided to invest in this heater to be able to get the most out of the pool and it has worth every penny so far. It has consumed an average of 16kWh per day but I have noticed that for the last four days that have been hot outside (above 90F during the day) it consumes around 8 kWh daily to keep the temperature at 97F. I cover the pool at nights with a solar plastic cover and it had helped the pool to avoid heat loss. The heater is quite and easy to program and use. I definitely recommend this heater if you want to get the pool experience to the next level.

Living in the Notheast this has extended our swim season by 4-6 weeks. Going into our 4 season and working great. Very well built and the best purchase for the pool I’ve made.

After wasting about $300 trying to make a solar pool heater using polyethylene tubing (search youtube and you'll see some designs, trust me, they don't work!). I decided to invest in this heat pump. Prior to purchasing, I had several questions and the staff over at FibroPool were prompt to reply and answer my questions. The pump arrived in perfect condition via a freight trucker. The installation was a breeze (I am fairly handy though). I put my heater on a homemade plywood base with locking casters so I can move it and store it away at the end of the season. I also installed it about 15 feet away from the pool so I had to run some 1.5" pvc piping up and across my covered patio. I live in the NYC area and put up an 8'x16'x42" Intex pool every year in our small backyard for the kids. We only get about 3 hours of sunlight due to the shadows caused by the house and detached garage, so the pool only heats up to about 77 degrees on its own. Fine for the kids, but not my wife and I. We like it warmer. I set this bad boy to 88'F and turn it on in the morning before I leave for work. It's up to 88'F a few hours later and the wife and kids are enjoying the pool all afternoon. I enjoy it myself in the evenings. This heater is a beast! We got back from vacation the other day and the pool temp had dropped to 72'F. I put the pump on at 7:30 in the morning and it was 88'F by mid-afternoon. I love this thing. It was the best investment for my pool. Another great feature, the heater blows cold air out of the fan while operating, so it cools off my covered patio while I sit back there and work on my laptop. It's a win-win. If you can swing it, go for it. I believe it has a 10 year warranty or something like that so that's also what sold me on it. I also bought their jandy style 2" 3-way valve and designed a diverter with some pvc fittings which sends the pump water to the pool heater with a simple turn. You can see my review and photo under that product description.

Works great after we figured it out. Tech support could have been better. Took forever for them to call us back.

This is one of the most rewarding additions to our pool and has allowed us to swim year round. The unit is surprisingly energy efficient, not too large, easy to install and not too loud. We absolutely love ours and would recommend it to anyone.

Easy to install. Just a bit of plumbing to get the piping to line up. I don't think the BTU output is as advertised.

So far so good. Our pool has a lot of shade so the water would get cold. This counters that out. It runs when the pool pump does and my pool is about 20k gallons in ground (so the heater is undersized). It keeps the water much closer to ambient temperatures which is what we wanted, we're not trying to swim in the winter. I'm thinking about adding a second one. We have a giant solar system so it's free for us to run them.You have to plumb this in front of the chlorinator, I also installed a tee at the unit so I could gravity drain the unit. I put a tee after my filter, and a check valve on the return line so I could bypass the heater in the winter.On their web site you can buy a controller relocation kit for 45 dollars

Purchased the Fibroheat heater based on reviews both on Amazon and a few pool sites and the delivery of the unit was perfect, no issues at all, installation was a breeze, think it took me longer to buy the piping from Home Depot then install everything. Once we got the power installed and the heater operational it heated the pool from 65 to 85 in 72 hours with it being unseasonably cool outside. Currently the pool is 88-90 at my kids request and air temp is 82. The unit is extremely quiet and so far seems to be efficient.
