FibroPool Swimming Pool Heat Pump FH255 55,000 BTU

Description

Product Overview

The FibroPool FH255 is a 55,000 BTU electric heat pump engineered for both above‑ground and inground swimming pools and spas. Constructed with an enamel‑coated steel chassis, the unit resists corrosion, UV exposure, and temperature extremes, ensuring a long service life even in harsh outdoor environments. Inside, a high‑pressure differential compressor works in tandem with a titanium heat exchanger, extracting heat from ambient air and transferring it to the water circulation system. This process delivers consistent warmth while consuming far less energy than traditional gas‑fired heaters.

Key specifications include a compact footprint of 40 × 14 × 24 inches, a weight of 149.7 lb, and compatibility with pools up to 10,000 gallons (above‑ground) or 21‑foot round/15 × 30‑foot oval inground models. The digital control panel provides an intuitive interface for setting target temperatures, monitoring real‑time performance, and scheduling operation. An optional extension cable allows the control panel to be mounted in a convenient location, keeping the main unit protected while giving users easy access.

Usage

Designed for residential and light‑commercial settings, the FH255 excels in climates where ambient air temperatures remain above 50 °F. In such conditions, the heat pump can raise water temperature by up to 30 °F, extending swimming seasons and providing comfortable spa experiences. The unit is ideal for family pools, community recreation facilities, and hot tubs that require a reliable, low‑maintenance heating solution.

Installation is straightforward: the pump connects to the pool’s existing circulation system via standard fittings, and the power cable plugs into a dedicated 240 V outlet. Because the FH255 runs on electricity alone, there is no need for propane or natural‑gas lines, simplifying setup and reducing ongoing fuel costs. Users can operate the heater year‑round, adjusting settings to match weather patterns and personal comfort preferences.

FAQ

What size pool can the FH255 heat?

The FH255 is rated for above‑ground pools up to 21 feet in diameter (or 15 × 30 feet oval) and inground pools up to 10,000 gallons. It can also heat spas of similar volume.

Do I need a special electrical circuit?

The unit requires a standard 240 V, 30‑amp circuit with a dedicated breaker. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.

How does the heat pump work in cooler weather?

Even when outdoor temperatures drop to around 50 °F, the FH255 can still extract heat from the air and raise water temperature. Performance gradually declines as the air gets colder, so optimal efficiency is achieved in milder climates.

Is there a warranty on the FH255?

FibroPool provides a limited warranty covering the compressor, heat exchanger, and chassis for a period of three years from the date of purchase, subject to normal usage and proper installation.

Can I control the heater remotely?

While the standard model includes a local digital panel, FibroPool offers optional accessories that enable remote monitoring and control via a smartphone app, allowing you to adjust settings without leaving the house.
