Recently purchased the FH270 70,000 BTU 240 Volt Swimming Pool Heat Pump for my 15,000 gallon in-ground pool in the state of Massachusetts. The product was packaged well and arrived undamaged. Once the bands were removed, it was easy to slide the cardboard off the heater and pivot that onto the concrete slab I poured. It came with the necessary couplers to plumb it into the PVC pipe (although the threads on the couplers are not standard in case you damage one and need to replace it with another that could be purchased locally ie. Home Depot, etc). Once the unit was wired properly and plumbed, we powered on the breakers for the pool pump and the heater, the heater detected water flowing through the unit and started working with no additional configuration required. I allowed the pump and heater to run continuously for 48 hours to bring the temp of the water from ~68 to 82 in approximately 3 days. I set the temp to 84 and the unit it now maintaining the temp on the regular pump cycle. So far, so good!

I can't believe how well this product works. In less then 48 hours pool temp. Went from 70 to 80 degrees. Running 240 V line was a bit of a challenge but well worth it. Highly recommend this product.

Only been in service for 5 days now but it is quiet, heats up our 24' pool and have been swimming every day since I installed it. I expect it will extend our swimming season 2-3 months in Michigan.

The heater did not come with any hoses to connect to the pool filter. I thought I'd anticipate the possibility that might happen by buying a FibroPool connection kit in addition to the heater. Went to connect the heater today only to find I'm going to have to get different size hoses to finish installation. With as much as heaters cost, they should come with everything you need to ensure a proper connection.
