Hi. I want to buy a new pool heater because it's getting colder now... Yet I am confused of what kind of brand to buy. I am not really into price. I am into the brand.

In my opinion, 2 of the best heaters would be the Sta-rite Max-E-Therm/Pentair Mastertemp (they are the exact same heater except for the outside cabinet) or the Raypak rp2100. Look into these 2 and you shouldn't be dissapointed.

What about the RHEEM M406A models?

Im also looking for a heater. My existing one deteriorated into a pile of rust. I know nothing about heaters but I'm in florida and the heater needs to survive a humid and wet environment.

One pool repair guy recommended the RHEEM as he says you won't have to do anything with it for at least 15 years.

The prices seem to be all similar.

thanks

The two best choices by far are the Hayward H-series heaters, or the Jandy LXi series heaters. The cost of most heaters are in fact very similar, basically leaving you to the choice of preference. The most popular heater is the Hayward H-series and is our recommended heater. If you have any questoins, feel free to contact our customer service department for further help.

Pool heaters are great investments for any swimming pool because heaters can extend your swimming season. This means you can get the most out of your swimming pool and we would all love to do that. However, before you go out looking for pool heaters, it would be wise to educate yourself before diving right in.

Jandy Legacy LRZ models are the best in my opinion. I run the largest and oldest company in the swimming pool capitol in the USA-- FLORIDA

I am in business 22 years and am a national vendor with over 20,000 happy customers approximately 1500 are gas customers

Anything I can do JUST ASK !

I am considering buying a new heater for my pool and my pool service company is strongly urging me to buy Raypak model stating that their quality is better then Hayward or pentair. Is that accurate assesment from them?

Pentair MasterTemp has just been released. Very energy efficient.

When choosing the right type of pool heater for your needs there are many factors to be considered...

Choose a quality brand of pool heating system that suits your budget
- Which energy to choose
- How to size your heating equipment
- How to save money
- Brands of heating equipment:

Firstly consider the brand of the heater, is it a major well known brand or a imported copy.
- Does the heater come with a warranty?
- Does the manufacturer have a service agent in your area?
- Are spare parts available for the equipment?
- Can you contact the seller to sort out installation problems?
- Will the installer be able to fine tune the equipment?
- Will the installer give you instruction on how to operate your heater?

Types of Pool Heating
- Gas
- Electric (element type)
- Electric (heat pump)
- Solar
