SunBlazer SB125 132k BTU Pool Heater VS Gulfstream HE125-R-A 125k BTU

[Tier1Terrier]

Help me decide between these two pool heaters. My #1 priority is long term reliability. I live in South FL. My pool has a salt system and is not covered by screen patio. It is well shaded at least 1/2 of the daylight hours. Pool is about 12k gallons kidney shaped with attached spa. Heater will primarily be used around 6 months of the year (Oct through Apr).

Can’t speak to the Gulfstream, but I’m a big fan of the Sunblazer. They are made by Aquacal and it is basically the T135 heater in a different color cabinet. You get the factory support that comes along with any Aquacal heater, they have super simple controls and also have the Thermolink heat exchangers that the higher end Aquacal units have.
