❓ Frequently Asked Questions

General Operation

Q: What size pool is the X20-22 suitable for?
A: The X20-22 is designed for pools between 45-75 m³ (10,000-16,500 gallons). This typically covers pools measuring approximately 8m × 4m × 1.5m depth up to 10m × 5m × 1.5m depth. For pools at the larger end of this range, heating times will be longer but still efficient.

Q: How long does it take to heat my pool?
A: Heating time depends on many factors including pool volume, starting temperature, target temperature, ambient air temperature, and whether you use a pool cover. As a rough guide, expect 24-39 hours in Turbo Mode to heat a 45-75m³ pool by 10°C in good conditions (26°C air). Using a thermal cover can reduce this by 40-60%. See our detailed heat-up tables above for specific scenarios.

Q: Will this heat pump work in winter?
A: Yes! The X20-22 is designed to operate in ambient temperatures as low as –20°C. However, heating efficiency decreases as temperatures drop. At 15°C air temperature, you’ll still get 14.8 kW heating capacity in Turbo Mode. At 7°C, this drops to 11.8 kW. The unit features intelligent defrost cycles to maintain performance in cold conditions.

Q: Should I run the heat pump during the day or night?
A: For maximum efficiency, run the heat pump during warmer daytime hours when ambient temperatures are higher. The COP (efficiency) increases significantly with warmer air. If noise is a concern for nighttime operation, use Silence Mode which reduces output but maintains whisper-quiet operation.

Energy & Running Costs

Q: What does COP mean and why does it matter?
A: COP stands for Coefficient of Performance. It’s the ratio of heat energy output to electrical energy input. A COP of 15 means the heat pump produces 15 kW of heat for every 1 kW of electricity consumed. The X20-22 achieves COPs up to 20.5 at low loads and averages above 15—making it up to 15 times more efficient than electric resistance heaters.

Q: How much will it cost to run per season?
A: Based on typical UK usage (May-September, 60m³ pool, average 8 hours/day operation), annual electricity costs range from £400-600 at £0.24/kWh. This is dramatically lower than gas boilers (£1,800-2,400) or standard electric heaters (£3,000+). Using a pool cover and optimizing heating schedules can further reduce costs by 30-50%.

Q: Do I need a three-phase power supply?
A: No! The X20-22 operates on standard single-phase 230V household electricity, making it easy to install in most residential settings without expensive electrical upgrades. This is the most powerful single-phase model in the InverX20 range.

Installation & Setup

Q: Can I install this myself?
A: While technically-minded individuals may be able to handle the physical placement, professional installation is required and strongly recommended. The unit must be hardwired by a qualified electrician, plumbing connections need proper sizing and flow rates, and correct installation is essential for warranty validity and safety compliance. Improper installation can damage the heat exchanger and void your warranty.

Q: Do I need a pool cover?
A: A pool cover is highly recommended but not required. A quality thermal cover can:

• Reduce heat-up time by 40-60%
• Cut running costs by 30-50%
• Prevent heat loss overnight
• Reduce water evaporation
• Keep debris out of your pool

The heat pump will work without a cover, but you’ll achieve much better efficiency and lower costs with one.

Q: How far can the heat pump be from my pool?
A: For optimal efficiency, keep the pipe run ≤10 meters between the pool and heat pump. Longer pipe runs result in heat loss and reduced efficiency. The heat pump should be installed in a well-ventilated area with adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance access.

Maintenance & Warranty

Q: What maintenance does it need?
A: The X20-22 requires minimal maintenance:

• Weekly: Visual check for obstructions around air intake/outlet
• Monthly: Clean or rinse the evaporator fins if dusty
• Annually: Professional service inspection recommended
• Winter: Drain water if not in use and temperatures below 2°C

Regular cleaning of the evaporator with household detergent or water maintains efficiency. Never use gasoline, thinners, or harsh chemicals.

Q: What’s covered under warranty?
A: Fairland provides industry-leading coverage:

• 7 years on all parts and components
• 15 years on the compressor and titanium heat exchanger

This exceptional warranty reflects Fairland’s confidence in their engineering quality and provides long-term peace of mind for your investment.

Q: What happens if there’s a power cut?
A: The X20-22 features automatic restart after power restoration. When power returns, the unit will automatically resume operation at the previous settings—no manual intervention needed. This prevents your pool from cooling down during brief power interruptions.

Performance & Modes

Q: What’s the difference between Turbo, Smart, and Silence modes?
A: Each mode is optimized for different scenarios:

Turbo Mode (120% capacity):

• Maximum heating power: 23.4 kW
• Fastest heat-up times
• Higher noise level (still only 49.5 dB at 1m)
• Best for initial pool heating or rapid temperature recovery

Smart Mode (100% capacity):

• Balanced heating: 19.2 kW
• Intelligent temperature optimization
• Excellent efficiency
• Ideal for everyday temperature maintenance

Silence Mode (60% capacity):

• Reduced heating: ~14 kW
• Ultra-quiet operation: 43 dB at 1m
• Perfect for nighttime operation
• Minimal noise impact on surroundings

The heat pump automatically adjusts output within each mode range (20-120% total) based on ambient and water temperatures for maximum efficiency.

Q: Can I heat my pool in the rain?
A: Yes! The X20-22 is designed for all-weather outdoor operation. The cabinet is water-resistant and rated for continuous outdoor use in rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. The unit actually works well in humid conditions as moisture in the air aids heat transfer.

Technical Questions

Q: Why does my heat pump occasionally go into defrost mode?
A: In cooler weather (especially below 7°C), frost can build up on the evaporator coils. The heat pump automatically enters defrost mode to melt this frost and maintain efficiency. The WiFi symbol will flash during defrosting. This is normal operation—the unit will resume heating automatically once defrost is complete. Typical defrost cycles last 3-10 minutes.

Q: What happens if water flow stops?
A: The X20-22 has multiple safety features including flow switch protection. If water flow drops below safe levels or stops completely, the unit will automatically shut down to prevent damage to the titanium heat exchanger. An “E3” error code will display. Check your pool pump is running and filters are clean. The heat pump will restart once proper flow is restored.

Q: Can I use this with a saltwater pool?
A: Absolutely! The X20-22 features a titanium heat exchanger specifically designed for corrosion resistance in saltwater, chlorinated, and brominated pool environments. Titanium is highly resistant to chemical corrosion and will not degrade like copper or stainless steel alternatives. This makes it perfect for saltwater pools.
