The Fairland XP26 is a full inverter heat pump for residential and commercial pools, designed to extend the swimming season while keeping electricity consumption under control. The range covers pool volumes from 25 to 120 m³ across eight output sizes, featuring TurboSilence AI technology and R290 refrigerant. Built for those who demand high energy efficiency and stable operation in temperate to cold climates.
Fairland XP26 Heat Pump – COP 30 Efficiency with TurboSilence Technology
The Fairland XP26 achieves a COP of 30 under reference conditions (air at 26 °C / water at 26 °C / humidity 80%), meaning that for every 1 kW of electricity consumed, the heat pump can deliver up to 30 kW of heat to the pool. The operating air temperature range extends from -20 °C to 43 °C, making the range suitable for installations across a wide variety of European climates, including regions with harsh winters.
- Residential pools from 25 to 120 m³ – eight output sizes (12 to 41 kW) cover everything from compact pools to large family pools.
- Temperate to cold climates (operation down to -20 °C) – the manufacturer-declared operating range ensures heating even on the coldest winter days.
- Installations with environmental priorities – R290 refrigerant with a GWP of 0.02, ahead of EU regulations phasing out high-impact refrigerants.
Technology and Advantages of the Fairland XP26
TurboSilence AI Technology with 130% capacity
TurboSilence AI technology, developed in-house by Fairland, manages compressor frequency and fan speed to maximise heat transfer. Turbo mode enables an immediate boost in heating capacity – the output in Turbo mode is higher than in Smart mode across all models in the range, allowing rapid water temperature recovery after periods of inactivity.
R290 low-GWP refrigerant
The Fairland XP26 uses R290 (propane) refrigerant, with a GWP of 0.02 – virtually negligible compared to conventional R410A. This choice anticipates the EU’s phased elimination schedule for high global warming potential refrigerants, and R290’s excellent thermodynamic properties contribute directly to the range’s high COP values.
Corrosion-resistant titanium heat exchanger
The titanium heat exchanger provides resistance to corrosion caused by chlorine and salt, protecting the core of the heat pump in installations with salt chlorination or conventional chemical treatment. The manufacturer’s 3D heat exchange technology maximises contact surface area and thermal transfer efficiency.
Twin-DC Inverter motor with continuous modulation
The Twin-Rotatory DC-Inverter compressor continuously adjusts its operating speed, avoiding consumption spikes and maintaining stable water temperature. The result: lower electricity consumption in temperature-maintenance mode compared to fixed-speed on/off systems.
Quiet operation – noise at 1 m between 38.1 and 51.9 dB(A)
The sound level at 1 m distance ranges from 38.1 dB(A) (X30-12P and X26-14P at partial load) to 51.9 dB(A) (X26-41PT at full load). At 50% operation, values range from 39.1 to 45.8 dB(A) depending on the model, allowing installation close to living areas without intrusive noise under normal operating conditions.

Who Is the Fairland XP26 For?
For pool owners who swim regularly and want to maintain a stable water temperature throughout the entire season, the XP26’s full inverter technology is the most efficient choice: the compressor continuously modulates its output, avoiding the start-stop cycles of on/off systems that drive up electricity consumption and mechanical wear. Long-term running costs are also lower, as R290’s thermodynamic properties contribute to high COP values without the need for a high-GWP refrigerant.
The range covers pools from 25 to 120 m³, with single-phase models (230 V) for volumes up to 75 m³ and three-phase models (400 V) for volumes between 55 and 120 m³.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Fairland XP26 model is recommended for a 60 m³ pool?
For a 60 m³ pool, the recommended model is the X26-20P (20 kW, single-phase 230 V), sized for volumes between 40 and 65 m³. If the pool is close to the upper end of that range or located in a colder climate zone, the X26-23P (22.5 kW, single-phase, up to 75 m³) provides additional capacity headroom without requiring a three-phase supply.
Is the Fairland XP26 COP 30 a real figure or a theoretical maximum?
COP 30 is the peak value measured under the manufacturer’s reference conditions: air at 26 °C, water at 26 °C and relative humidity of 80%, applicable to the X30-12P model. This is a peak figure, not an average operating value. At an air temperature of 15 °C, the COP of the same model ranges from 11 to 5.6 depending on load. The COP at 50% speed – more representative of temperature-maintenance operation – is 16 (air 26 °C) and 8 (air 15 °C) for the X30-12P.
Is R290 refrigerant safe? What is the advantage over R410A?
R290 (propane) is a natural refrigerant with a GWP of 0.02 – virtually negligible compared to the GWP of 2088 for R410A. In terms of safety, R290 is flammable, so installation must comply with the applicable standards for equipment using flammable refrigerants – refer to the manufacturer’s technical datasheet for specific installation requirements. The key operational advantage is R290’s excellent thermal transfer capacity, which directly contributes to the high COP values across the XP26 range.
Is the XP26 heat pump compatible with saltwater pools?
The titanium heat exchanger provides resistance to corrosion caused by chlorine and salt, and this material is well established for its durability in pool environments with either conventional chemical treatment or salt chlorination.
