Raypak 014938 206000 BTU Digital Natural Gas Pool Heater with Cupro Nickel

It appears to be a more robust unit than the Hayward equivalent. Installation was easy and it fires up without any issues. Delivery was surprisingly quick.

My old one should have lasted longer but I think I killed it due to chemical imbalance. The new one was easy to swap in and came damage-free.

I installed it in 2018, not once have I been able to open the pool and start using the heater in May. Each year something is wrong and needs replacing, temp sensor goes every year, thermostat every year. Springs for the pressure valve replaced twice. O rings replaced last year when changing the springs now leaking this year and need to be replaced. I would not recommend purchasing it.

This heater is fantastic! It has a digital thermometer, so no need to have that little thermometer on the side of your pool any longer taking away the aesthetics of the pool.It brought my pool temperature from 80 to 84 in LESS THAN TWO HOURS!!!Does it use a lot of gas, sure. But if you want your pool to be warm, and to be warm quickly, this is the best you can get! My pool is about 30k-35k gallons in ground.One year warranty. Can’t go wrong with that. And according to my pool guy who put it in, this is the best heater on the market! I couldn’t agree more.

The media could not be loaded. I installed it myself in one day. Everything I needed was at the Home Depo. My Pool is 18 by 36. 35,000 gallons. Water is now 82°.Just by complete chance a relestate agent in the area Saw me installing the heater and noticed no mention of a pool in my yard. So he reappraised my home from 750,000$ to $1,325,000 . I do not know if the heater was the reason.

Priced the same unit with my pool guy andsaved $1,600.00 by getting from this supplier. Shipping package was great and protected the unit.Easy install and worth the effort for my saltwater pool.Recommend it to anyone!

You must understand pool plumbing and gas and electrical requirements to self install. Not for those without knowledge. We had lots of pre prep work with Gas lines adjusting pool fence. We have a nice set up now. Probably spent $250 in gas to heat pool to 85 to swim first day of May in PA. We will see how much gas we use going forward. Weather not to be near as nice as first two days of May for the next week.

Same heater as previous so easy to install.Delivery was in 3 days.Incredible for 250 lb freight delivery!In time.for Mem. Day weekend.Thank you!
