- What size pool will the FH255 heat?
- Above-ground pools up to 21 feet round or 15x30 oval, and in-ground pools up to 10,000 gallons. Larger pools will heat slowly or not reach temperature.
- What electrical circuit does it need?
- A dedicated 240V circuit on 12-gauge wire drawing 12 amps. That is roughly the draw of a table saw, so it needs its own breaker.
- Does it work with a saltwater pool?
- Yes. The titanium heat exchanger is rated for saltwater and freshwater, though one owner reported the steel case rusting on a salt pool.
- How warm will it get the water?
- It is rated to heat water to 82 degrees at 82% humidity. It will not push a pool into the high 80s in cool weather.
- Is it worth it over a gas heater?
- A heat pump heats slowly but runs on far less energy, so it suits owners who keep the pool open for weeks and want low running costs. Gas heats faster but costs more per BTU to run.
- What comes in the box?
- The heat pump and the fittings needed to plumb it into an existing pool system. An extension cord for more flexible placement is sold separately.
