  • Update - 6/5/2025- excellent customer service - buy the correct size for pump and pool !
Size: 16000 BTU
Installed unit - 59degree weather in northeast figured I’d buy a heater for my pool - didn’t do my research and found that heat pumps draw air from outside to work - unit ran for 2 hrs and stopped due to ice pool didn’t even raise a degree - returned unit - after further research these cheap units only work when it’s hot out - bottom line won’t heat your pool when it’s cold outside Update 6/5/2025 After my original 16,000 BTU unit failed, Varpoolfaye sent me a 30,000 BTU replacement right away. Their customer service was amazing—fast, caring, and determined to make things right. This unit works best in temps over 65°F and heats gradually—about 2°F per hour above 80°F, and around 1.5°F below that depending on your pool size and pump flow. I went from 64°F to 77°F in one day (9am–8pm) with 6000 gallon 16x48 pool with a intex sand filter 3000 gallons per hour . The app is great—it shows inlet/outlet temps, coil and exhaust temps, plus a timer I synced with my pool pump. Use a solar cover at night—it makes a big difference in retaining heat. Pro tip: If your pump flows fast, a return valve helps regulate flow through the heater. Slowing the water down by creating back pressure allows a bit more transfer time in the heat exchanger for water to warm - not necessary once it’s been running for hours but initially it helped raise outlet temp quicker ( you want a 2 degree difference minimum outlet to inlet temp) Bottom line: If you want warmer water during pool season, buy this. If you’re looking to extend the season, go with a gas heater. Very happy with this product and the company behind it! ... show more

  • Warm Water is a Must With This Heater
Size: 16000 BTU
Works perfect for my above ground pool. The temperature went from 68 degrees to 78 in one day.

  • Do your research
Size: 16000 BTU
Should have did more research. Not really a pool heater! It only works when outside temp is above 75. First it said my flow rate from my intex pool pump too slow. Upgraded to bigger pump. Ran all day didn’t even go up a degree. It was 70 outside and sunny. I bought a buddy heater and put next to it and it started heating my pool up. ... show more

  • This works great with a sixteen foot Intex pool.
Size: 16000 BTU
Since I have dealt with pools for years this set up was easy. Luckily I had the adapters for all the hoses to make this unit work. Warmed the water from 55 degrees to a nice 75 degrees in a day. I am also using a solar blanket to hold night temperature up. My air temperature is still in the low 60s.

  • So far so good
Size: 16000 BTU
I purchased a different brand heat pump for my hottub and I had to return it because of how loud it was (its fan sounded like one of those bounce house blowers, it was obnoxious)...I was pleasantly surprised that this unit was no louder than a small window a/c unit, perhaps even quieter. The fan is basically silent, the only thing you can hear is the compressor but it seems they install a sound blanket around the compressor making the unit run as quiet as possible. The heat it outputs is beyond adequate for my ~200 gallon hottub, when not in use the unit only needs to run for 25-40 minutes every 6-7 hours! When in use, it has more than enough power to keep up even with the lid removed on the coldest of nights (for my location, high 30s-low 40s)...this is exactly what I wanted becuase the original electric heater on my hottub was very weak and the water would become luke warm quickly with the jets on cover off on those cold nights and I would need to get out. The defrost mode seems to work well, only pausing heating for a minute or two to thaw out and then going right back to heating. No doubt this unit is going to save on electricity with how well it heats and how little it needs to run to keep temp on my hottub. I have only two minor gripes. 1. The app control is hit or miss, doesnt connect unless im near the unit despite being paired to my router. But again, this is minor because I dont expect the need to monitor or control my hottub unless im there in person. 2. The default temperature differential was set at 4 degrees from factory. The manual provided gives zero info on how this can be changed. I.E. if its set to 104, it will let the water drop all the way to 100 before restarting to heat back up to 104. Reaching out to the seller, they were able walk me through a secret menu on the display to alter this setting. This secret menu seems to have a long list of different settings that can be adjusted. I asked the seller if they could provide data on what all these other settings do, and they seemed to not want to tell me... asking "what else do you need to adjust". This unit isnt cheap and I paid for and OWN IT. What I want is a list of what all the settings are on something that is now mine, it doesnt matter if I need to change anything else right now. All of these settings should have been outlined in the manual, i shouldnt have to pull teeth to find out what they are. The controller inside the unit looks like its made by some other company, so I might see if I can find more info on it that way. Deducting a star for this headache. Overall a great experience. ... show more

  • Great customer service, great product!
Size: 16000 BTU
The media could not be loaded. I love this pool heater. Game changer at our house. Everyone is using the pool now. And I have to give an A+++ to the wonderful customer service department at Varpoolfaye! I lost my instruction manual and had toncall to get a duplicate. They always returned calls promptly and were ther to help us get set up correctly. They first time I called them I did not even leave a message as it was after hours and they called me back anyway! They emailed me a duplicate instruction manual and then answered my set up questions quickly and efficiently. This is a top notch company. I highly recommend them. ... show more

  • Great unit, easy installation
Size: 30000 BTU
Ok this thing is pretty awesome so far. Easy to install, runs off 110. Pool started at 64 degrees 3 days ago, ambient temperature low 50’s at night, mid to high 60’s during the day. In 24 hours pool was at 74, 3 days later it’s 86 and holding there. Don’t know why I waited so long to get one of these. ... show more

  • Not good for pool of 5,000 gallons I say about 3,000 gallons
Size: 16000 BTU
It says for 5,000 gallon but in reality I think it should be below had it running for about 2 days and my pool never got more than 65 degree mind you I had a thermal solar cover on it that way at night it wouldn't get too cold.
