    I found a used gas heater, Jandy Laars Lite 2 - for under $200, and without wasting words, I feel fairly confident it is functioning. My heater is about to Crud the bed- over 15 years old, lots of nasty noises, etc. So, I'm thinking of this Jandy - my pool is 28k gallons in ground, in Denver...
