This heater is great. We heated our 30 foot round in just a few hours to 91 degrees. We had one issue with a part busting but Raypak was quick to send us out a new one

Having worked in the swimming pool business for over 13 years I can say this is the best heater you can buy. I've worked on many heaters including ones made by Teledyne Laars, Pentair, Sta-rite, Jandy, and Hayward. These are the reasons why I recommend this heater in my business: it has a simplistic, easy-to-work-on design with less wiring and moving parts. This is important because mice and insects destroy all of the heaters I mentioned at a faster rate. Raypak actually seals the computer board in a compartment that is almost impregnable. When something does go wrong the diagnosis is much simpler because there are fewer wires and parts. Frankly just about every other heater I work on is a complete nightmare in the wiring department. Over the years Raypak is the only company I've seen make meaningful changes to their product namely, protecting the delicate computer board and decreasing the size of the power supply.Furthermore, this is one of the only brands I've never seen catch on fire, because it is vented properly. Older Purex and Hayward heaters were notorious for burning up but luckily the wires would melt and shut the heater down so it never became an inferno. Newer Hayward and Sta-Rite heaters use a power vent, which is a cool idea although unnecessary for outdoor use. However these fans crap out all the time as mice seem to love them more than computer boards. It's just an unnecessary part unless you're setting your heater up indoors and if you do, Raypak sells a more robust vent separately.By far this is the easiest heater to install and integrate with the Comp Pool and Aqualink computer management systems.I also feel the need to address some of the negative reviews for this product, namely that you are buying this product on-line at wholesale price. You assume the risk for it's installation. When I buy it from my supplier there is a mark-up and a warranty that extends to professional people who install these things professionally. If you don't check your pH in four years and you heat exchanger disintegrates Raypak shouldn't have to replace it because you're an idiot. The extra money you pay for a professional installation is the peace of mind you get from knowing the job was done right.

I installed a Raypak pool heater and was unable to have it ignite. I am an engineer and am able to understand the wiring diagram and troubleshooting diagram. No luck. I called Raypak and they didn't even want to hear my question, and abruptly stated that if the heater was not installed by a Raypak certified technician, they had no comment, would offer no assistance, and would not warranty the product. I did call a technician and the problem was wire with insulation that was cut but the sheet metal during assembly.Question 1 - if you are a technician, why would you buy this through Amazon, so you probably are not a tech.Question 2 - If you are not a tech, why would you buy a product with zero tech support and warranty?
