![\"FibroPool](\"https:\/\/aquaticglee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/FibroPool-FH055-In-Ground-Pool-Heater.jpg\")
At the top of our list is the FibroPool FH055 measuring 48 x 20 x 24 inches for the length, width and height respectively and weighing in at 120 pounds. This is an inground swimming pool heater with an output of 55,000 BTU\u2019s and working for pools up to 10,000 gallons in capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its most outstanding feature is the high level of efficiency it commands. It has an impressive COP of 5.92 which means that, for every dollar you spend on powering it, it generates 5.92x of heat. The maximum attainable COP is 7. This shows that it\u2019s very efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The all-metal casing with a 100% titanium heat exchanger means that this pool heat pump will last for years on end. It\u2019s also one of the easiest heat pumps to install and uninstall as it takes a very short time to do either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the best and most efficient of the pool heat pumps we tried. It also has great looks and works well even in cold temperatures outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second up is the Hayward HP21404T HeatPro with a capacity of 140,000 BTU, dimensions of 32 x 43 x 40 inches (L x W x H) and a weight of 287 pounds. These dimensions, already impressive, don\u2019t tell just how great this pool heat pump is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It also comes with an acoustic compressor cover and profiled fan blade both of which ensure that it has a quiet operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its parts are made of high quality materials such as the ultra-gold corrosion resistant evaporator fin and a titanium heat exchanger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The body parts are made of durable injection-molded UV-resistant parts. These parts ensure durability, efficiency and reliability. It also uses 2\u201d x 2.5\u201d CPVC Union Plumbing Connections which are commonplace for ease of compatibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most buyers do complain a lot on the poor customer service. However, besides the slightly unimpressive customer service, this is a great heat pump that has quality parts and works really well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Measuring 43 x 34 x 50 inches (L x W x H) and weighing 300 pounds, the Pentair 460932 UltraTemp has a 108,000 BTU and packs some impressive features as well. It\u2019s compatible with all automated control packages thus an easy one to install and run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The heat exchanger is made with 100% pure titanium making it reliable, efficient and durable since titanium doesn’t corrode or rust. This is especially important in coastal regions where the air is salty and metals easily corrode away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For a pool heat pump with these features and with the performance observed when reviewing it, this is one is highly recommendable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second entry from Hayward is their W3HP21004T with a capacity of 95,000 BTU. It comes with the same great features found in the Hayward HP21404T such as the acoustic compressor cover and profiled fan blade which ensures quiet running and efficient performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You also get the ultra-gold corrosion-resistant evaporator fin, titanium heat exchanger and durable injection-molded UV-resistant body panels which make it durable, reliable and efficient. It also comes with 2\u201d x 2.5\u201d CPVC Union Plumbing Connections for compatibility purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The customer care doesn\u2019t make this a deal-breaker as the unit itself is great at what it does and that is warming your pool water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Puri Tech Quiet Heat derives its name from how quiet it is when in use compared to other pool heaters. This is made possible by the QZ Quiet Technology which ensures that it runs at the lowest noise levels possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This pool heat pump is best suited to swimming pools up to 35,000 gallons. This, combined with its 127,000 BTU capacity, makes it suitable for large pools. The included Savings Optimizer saves you up to $2,000 a year in electricity bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We didn\u2019t find fault with this one as it heats as stated by the manufacturer and no previous customer had reported an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a 266,000 BTU gas-powered (propane) digital and spa heater that comes with an electronic ignition, a digital thermostat and Polymer headers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0This heater is designed for residential application and combines durability and smart design to be one of the best on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its attributes include exceeding federal and state fuel efficiency standards, high flow rates, condensation protection and wind-resistant design to withstand the elements for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More features include<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eco smart Pool Heaters operate by utilizing the latest flow sensor technology instead of the traditional pressure switch activation to reduce the risk of burned elements, which increases its reliability and longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It comes with digital thermostat control so you can set the temperature exactly where you want it. Some cool features that make this heater stand out include;<\/p>\n\n\n\n Though most reviews on Amazon and other online shopping platforms are positive, some users do not recommend this pool heater because of the following issues;<\/p>\n\n\n\n The HydroPro Eco 10 has a high-efficiency coefficient of 4.8. This means it\u2019ll save you lots of cash over its lifetime. It works best in the summer with the minimum temperature required being 8\u00b0C for the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It measures in at 1140 x 400 x 650 mm for the length, width and height respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s also one of the quietest pool heat pumps we tested thanks to its low sound rotary compressor and low noise fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s also rated R407c which means it\u2019s very environment friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It comes with a titanium heat exchanger meaning that it\u2019ll not rust and will still be efficient in heating up the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While this pool heat pump isn\u2019t the most efficient, it\u2019s quite impressive when it comes to heating your pool in that it operates quietly and consistently hence our favorable review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wrapping up our list is the Interline 59695245 Eco Heat Pump with dimensions of 30 x 30 x 10 cm (L x W x H) and a weight of 36 kilograms. It’s suited to swimming pools of up to 18,000 liters and is equipped with a manual thermostat to control the level of heat needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a relatively small pool heat pump that\u2019s for the individual who has a small pool and doesn\u2019t require too many features to work. Even then, it’s quite impressive in the way it heats the water in a consistent way to the desired temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One downside<\/strong> is that it doesn\u2019t have many advanced features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As stated earlier on, this is a pool heat pump meant for the small pool and occasional use. We found it quite reliable too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Getting any of these pool heat pumps guarantees a great time for your pool as we proved in our tests. With pool heat pumps, you need to find the one suited to the size of your pool for the best experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In choosing a pool heat pump, there are some aspects to consider such as the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The coefficient of performance (COP) refers to how efficient the machine is in terms of transforming electricity into heat that is directly transferable to the water. It usually ranges between 3.0 and 7.0. This is equal to an efficiency of between 500% and 600%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this reason, the higher the COP rating, the better a pool heat pump is in heating your water. This also translates to the sizing since the right size of pool heat pump increases the efficiency of heating up the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The size of the pool dictates the BTU rating of your heat pump for the best heating efficiency. For this reason, you need to know the size of the pool then find the right size of the pool heat pump. The formula for finding the approximate heat pump BTU needed is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The general guide for determining the size of the heat pump you need is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n2.
