    First few weeks...

    I'm really happy of how this is working my first few weeks. I'd give it a 5 star if the bypass system I bought with it had decent instructions. Thankfully, the customer service made up for where that was lacking. Thank you Gunduz! He went above and beyond when I didn't understand his first message. I love how I can easily regulate it from my phone! It will definitely help me to get way more use of my above ground 24' round pool!

    Excellent product

    Easy installation and raised the temperature of my 15,000 gallon pool 10 degrees in about 12 hours.

    Delivery & customer service

    Thank you for the prompt delivery and response to a fitting question about my new heat pump!

    Hopefully 🤞 once it warms up in NewEngland the installation goes as smooth.

    FH285-i heat pump

    This heat pump is really nice, works great with my 10,000 gallon pool. Only draw back is the digital display, when it's really sunny its hard to read and if you don't cover the display screen somehow the sun will ruin it. Mine is a year old and I discovered it was starting to look funny. I used a stick on 3m hook and hung a cover in front of display panel. Other than that is seems to work wonderful.

    Barely heats. Save your money

    This heater stays on boost heat all day and barely moves up 1 degree. My older pentair heater heat faster than this. I expected real heat, hot water, but what I am getting is lukewarm warm water from this heater.Customer service is horrible, nobody to talk to to and they respond by email asking me a hundred questions. Save your money.

    Exceeds my expectations!

    I ordered the FH285-i heat pump, six days later it was at my home! It took me about 2.5 hours for complete installation. Including the hurricane pad, electrical and plumbing! I also ordered the pre-built bypass manifold. That made the plumbing instalation much easier. My pool is 14X30 and is around 14K gallons... It has taken 48 hours to heat the pool from 72° to 86°, exactly where my wife likes it! So far, I'm complete impressed by the performance and exceptional build quality of the heat pump! My old heat pump lasted about 15 years. Here's hoping this one lasts that long as well!

    FH285

    Brennon has been one of the best sales/technical people I have ever worked with. Always prompt to return my calls if I couldn’t get him and so courteous. I had a few questions after installation and we FaceTimed each other. Unit working as expected. Highly recommend this company and Brennon!

    Heat Pump

    I looked at various heat pumps and happened to give Fibro pool a call. Got Brennon as my salesman and found out he is very knowledgeable and went through every step from 20 amp breaker usage and best insulation practices. I installed the unit myself and the few questions I had he had answers for. He told me to run it 72 hours to start out. I live on a 2000 ft elevation mountain in Pa. My pool was 61 degrees within 54 hours it was 86 degrees. At night with the heat pump not running with a solar cover it only looses 2 degrees. Great product so far. Thanks for the great service Brennon.
