🏊 Pool Sizing Guide

Is the X20-32 right for your pool?

Pool Volume	Pool Size (Approx.)	Suitability
40-65 m³	8m × 4m × 1.5m depth	⚠️ Adequate (consider X20-26 for better efficiency)
65-85 m³	10m × 5m × 1.5m depth	✅ Ideal
85-105 m³	12m × 5m × 1.8m depth	✅ Perfect match
105-120 m³	15m × 6m × 1.5m depth	✅ Excellent (near capacity)
120+ m³	Very large residential/commercial	⚠️ Consider X20-40T (40kW three-phase model)

💡 Professional Tip: For pools used year-round or in colder climates, we recommend sizing slightly higher for optimal heating performance. The X20-32 is particularly well-suited for covered pools or those with insulated covers.

The comprehensive 15-year compressor and heat exchanger warranty demonstrates the manufacturer’s confidence in quality.

Whisper-Quiet Comfort TurboSilence® technology eliminates the high-frequency noise associated with traditional heat pumps, making the X20-32 virtually silent. At just 25 dB(A) from 10 metres away, it’s quieter than a whisper—perfect for residential settings.

Smart Control & Monitoring The integrated Wi-Fi connectivity and dedicated smartphone app give you complete control from anywhere. Monitor real-time power consumption, adjust temperatures, switch modes, and schedule operation—all from your phone.

True All-Season Performance Unlike many heat pumps that struggle in cold weather, the X20-32 maintains reliable heating down to -20°C. The intelligent defrost system and wide operating range ensure your pool stays warm year-round.

Outstanding Value While the initial investment is higher than a basic heat pump, the X20-32’s exceptional efficiency means it pays for itself through dramatically reduced running costs. Most owners see complete payback within 3-5 years compared to gas heating.

Industry-Leading Warranty Few manufacturers offer the confidence of a 15-year warranty on critical components. This extended coverage protects your investment and provides peace of mind for over a decade.

Environmental Responsibility With a COP averaging over 15, the X20-32 dramatically reduces CO₂ emissions compared to fossil fuel heating. The R32 refrigerant has low global warming potential, and the high efficiency means less electricity consumption from the grid.

💡 Usage Tips & Best Practices

Maximize Your Efficiency:

1. Use a Pool Cover: A good quality pool cover can reduce heating costs by 50-70% by preventing heat loss overnight and reducing evaporation.
2. Set Realistic Temperature Targets: Each degree higher significantly increases running costs. Most swimmers are comfortable at 26-28°C.
3. Maintain Water Chemistry: Clean filters and balanced water chemistry improve heat transfer efficiency.
4. Run During Off-Peak Hours: If you have time-of-use electricity tariffs, schedule heating during cheaper rate periods.
5. Regular Maintenance: Clean the evaporator coils annually and ensure adequate airflow around the unit.
6. Use Smart Mode: For most applications, Smart Mode provides the best balance of heating speed and efficiency.
7. Winter Preparation: In areas with freezing winters, drain the heat exchanger when closing your pool to prevent damage.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size pool is the X20-32 suitable for? A: The X20-32 is designed for pools between 65-105 cubic metres (approximately 14,300-23,100 gallons). This typically covers pools around 10m × 5m × 1.5m depth. For optimal performance, consider pool insulation, location, and usage patterns.

Q: How long will it take to heat my pool initially? A: Initial heat-up time depends on your pool volume, starting temperature, and ambient conditions. A typical 80m³ pool raising from 15°C to 27°C (12°C rise) will take approximately 12-16 hours in Smart Mode. Daily top-ups usually take only 3-5 hours.

Q: Can this heat pump work in winter? A: Yes! The X20-32 operates reliably down to -20°C ambient temperature. However, efficiency decreases in colder weather. At 7°C, the unit still delivers 17.8 kW in Turbo Mode, making it excellent for year-round pool heating in most UK climates.

Q: How much does it cost to run per day? A: Daily costs vary significantly based on usage. For maintenance heating with a covered pool, expect £2-4 per day during the swimming season. Initial heat-up or heating an uncovered pool may cost £8-12 daily. The X20-32’s high COP dramatically reduces costs compared to other heating methods.

Q: How loud is this heat pump? A: Very quiet! At 1 metre distance, it measures 42-50 dB(A) (similar to a quiet library). At 10 metres, it’s just 22-30 dB(A)—quieter than a whisper. The TurboSilence® technology eliminates annoying high-frequency noise.

Q: Do I need three-phase power? A: No, the X20-32 operates on standard 230V single-phase power, making it suitable for most residential installations. You will need a dedicated circuit with proper protection (28.5A breaker with RCD).

Q: Can I control it remotely? A: Absolutely! The X20-32 includes built-in Wi-Fi and a dedicated smartphone app (iOS and Android). Control all functions, monitor performance, and adjust settings from anywhere with internet access.

Q: What maintenance is required? A: Maintenance is minimal. Clean the evaporator coils annually, check water chemistry regularly, ensure proper water flow, and have a professional service check the refrigerant and electrical connections annually. The titanium heat exchanger is highly corrosion-resistant.

Q: Is professional installation required? A: Yes, professional installation by a qualified technician is mandatory and typically required for warranty validation. Installation involves electrical work, plumbing connections, and proper system configuration.

Q: What’s included in the warranty? A: The X20-32 comes with an outstanding warranty: 7 years on parts and labour, and an industry-leading 15 years on both the compressor and titanium heat exchanger. This demonstrates exceptional build quality and manufacturer confidence.

Q: How does the COP of 20.5 compare to other heat pumps? A: A COP of 20.5 is exceptional and achieved under ideal conditions (28°C air, 26°C water, 80% humidity). The seasonal average COP of 15+ is still outstanding—most standard heat pumps achieve COP 4-6. This means the X20-32 is 2-3 times more efficient than typical models.

Q: Can I use it for both heating and cooling? A: The X20-32 is designed specifically for heating. It does not include a cooling function. For pool cooling in hot climates, a dedicated pool chiller or reversible heat pump model would be required.

Mitsubishi DC Twin-Rotary Compressor Mitsubishi is renowned for producing the world’s most reliable HVAC compressors. The twin-rotary design reduces vibration and noise while improving efficiency and longevity.

Full-Inverter vs. On-Off Control Standard heat pumps operate at fixed capacity (on or off). The X20-32’s full-inverter technology continuously adjusts compressor speed (20-120%) based on heating demand, resulting in:

• 30-50% better seasonal efficiency
• Dramatically quieter operation
• Faster heating when needed
• Reduced wear on components
• More stable pool temperature

TurboSilence® Technology This proprietary Fairland technology optimizes the compression cycle to eliminate high-frequency noise—the most annoying component of heat pump sound. The result is operation up to 10× quieter than conventional designs.
