Moov Reversible MR550X Pool Heat Pump – 55,000 BTU

Extend your swimming season with the Moov Reversible MR550X 55,000 BTU pool heat pumpDesigned to provide reliable, quiet, and economical heating, it is an excellent solution to maintain comfortable water temperature in spring, summer, and early fall.

Thanks to its reverse cycle defrost system, spiral titanium heat exchanger, and dual rotary compressor, the Moov MR550X offers an excellent balance of performance, simplicity, and value.

A heating capacity of 55,000 BTU

The Moov Reversible MR550X develops a heating capacity of up to 55,000 BTU under nominal test conditions.

Heating performance

• Rated capacity: 55,000 BTU
• Low temperature capacity: about 34,000 BTU
• Efficient heating for residential pools
• More stable water temperature maintenance
• Suitable solution to extend the swimming season

The actual performance of a heat pump varies depending on outdoor temperature, desired temperature, pool size, wind exposure, and use of a solar cover.

Reversible defrost for cooler temperatures

The reversible defrost technology allows the heat pump to temporarily reverse its cycle when frost buildup is detected.

This process speeds up the defrosting of the evaporator so the unit can resume normal operation more quickly.

Advantages

• Faster defrosting
• Operation suited for northern climates
• More consistent heating in spring and fall
• Reduced interruptions caused by frost
• Operating temperature can drop to about -5 °C

The minimum outdoor temperature does not guarantee maximum heating capacity. As with all heat pumps, efficiency decreases as the outside air gets colder.

Spiral titanium heat exchanger

The MR550X is equipped with a titanium heat exchanger offering an increased exchange surface.

According to Moov, its spiral design provides up to 30% more heating surface, promoting better heat transfer between the heat pump and the pool water.

Key benefits

• Efficient heat transfer
• Faster water heating
• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Compatible with chlorine pools
• Compatible with salt systems
• Durable construction

Maintaining properly balanced water remains essential to protect the heat exchanger and other pool components.

Dual rotary compressor

The dual rotary compressor uses two rotors working together to better balance the vibrations produced during heating.

Advantages

• Stable operation
• Reduced mechanical vibrations
• Lower noise level
• Good energy efficiency
• Reliable performance
• Increased comfort around the pool

The MR550X uses a traditional single-speed compressor. It should not be confused with a Full-Inverter variable-speed heat pump.

Quiet operation

The mechanical chamber of the heat pump is surrounded by soundproof panels and vibration-absorbing cushions that help limit the transmission of vibrations and noise.

Noise level

• Maximum indicated noise level: 50 dB(A) or less
• Soundproof mechanical chamber
• Vibration-absorbing cushions
• Quiet operation
• Suitable for residential environments

Installation on a solid, level base also helps reduce vibrations and noise.

Smart control with Wi-Fi connectivity

The Moov Reversible MR550X heat pump is equipped with a smart thermostat that facilitates temperature adjustment and device monitoring.

The platform also provides Wi-Fi control via the Moov app, depending on the device configuration.

Advantages

• Simple temperature adjustment
• Easy-to-use interface
• Convenient operation monitoring
• Remote access with Wi-Fi function
• Simpler management of swimming comfort

Dimensions and installation

The Moov MR550X has a compact design with horizontal air discharge.

Approximate dimensions

• Width: 39.4 in
• Depth: 15.7 in
• Height: 26 in
• Net weight: approximately 143 to 148 lb
• Water connections: 1 ½ inch
• Recommended water flow: 83 to 116 L/min, approximately 22 to 31 GPM

Sufficient free space must be maintained around the unit to allow adequate air circulation and easy access for maintenance.

Power supply

The heat pump must be connected to an electrical circuit that complies with the manufacturer's requirements and applicable electrical standards.

Main requirements

• Power supply: 208 to 230 V
• Frequency: 60 Hz
• Phase: single-phase
• Maximum recommended circuit breaker: 30 A
• Grounding mandatory
• Permanent electrical installation required

The connection must be made by a qualified electrician.

For which pool to choose the MR550X?

The Moov MR550X can suit several small to medium residential pools. However, sizing should not be based solely on the number of gallons.

The following elements must be considered:

• Total pool volume
• Above-ground or in-ground pool
• Desired water temperature
• Desired usage period
• Exposure to sun and wind
• Presence of a solar cover
• Region and climatic conditions
• Daily filtration time

A slightly more powerful heat pump will generally reach the desired temperature faster and run for a shorter time.

The importance of a solar cover

The use of a solar cover is highly recommended with any pool heat pump.

It notably allows to:

• Reduce heat loss during the night
• Limit evaporation
• Decrease the operating time of the heat pump
• Reduce energy consumption
• Maintain a more stable temperature
• Extend the swimming season further

A large part of a pool's heat can be lost through evaporation when the surface remains uncovered.
