Have not installed my new heater but same as last one which was very efficient


imageWhat's the thermal efficiency of this model? 1 Answer

  • The H250FDN boasts a thermal efficiency of 83%, meaning it effectively converts a significant portion of fuel into usable heat, ensuring energy-efficient operation.

imageCan the Hayward H250FDN be used at high altitudes? 1 Answer

  • Yes, it’s good up to 2,000 feet right out of the box. If your pool’s higher than that, you’ll need the FDXLHAK1930 conversion kit, which lets it run properly up to around 10,200 feet.

imageDoes the heater come with a power cord? 1 Answer

  • No, the H250FDN doesn't include a power cord. It's preset for 220V but can be wired for 110V. Your electrician will need to supply and install the appropriate cord during setup.

imageIs this heater compatible with variable speed pumps? 1 Answer

  • Absolutely. The H250FDN is designed to work with variable speed pumps. It features a pressure switch that ensures the heater operates only when there's adequate water flow, protecting the unit from potential damage.

imageIs the H250FDN a good choice for pools in Canada? 1 Answer

  • Definitely. It’s built to handle cooler temps and unpredictable weather, which makes it a solid pick for Canadian backyards. Whether you're in Ontario or out west, it’ll help stretch your swim season comfortably.
