perhaps the Pentair heat exchanger is a better design. More efficient.

Thanks for the MK link. ordered this morning. New owner comments: the Pentair 400 is at least 40% smaller than my old Hayward 400 and heats much faster then the hayward.

Pool running at 100%. All issues fixed. The heater fire was caused by a Rat/Mice nest igniting. Note to Self: Clean out the whole heater prior to spring first start. New Pentair heater gets wrapped with Stainless steel mesh. Maybe a second Cooper layer as well. It's always something...

thanks guys.... New Heater install tomorrow, friday. Woot.

Has anyone used a NSI TORK TPE24VA valve as an alternate for Hayward GVA? Carl

Thank you both. I live an hour west of Orlando. Only 1 pool company that works with Omnilogic. Not as much automation out this way. I called Pentair today and shared the info locally. Hope to get on the repair schedule next week. Carl

Decided on the PentAir MasterTemp 400 propane. Has anyone installed the AUTOMATIC BY-PASS VALVE KIT (P/N 462048) FOR MASTERTEMP® AND MAX-E-THERM® POOL AND SPA HEATERS? Was it worth the cost? Thanks Carl

Wow. Thanks all of you. More info then my last three days of phone calls. Carl

Couple of questions during the middle of the Night.... I have an Omnilogic and replacing my dead H400 with the newer WDF400. Is it possible to automate a 3-way bypass valve to prevent water circulation through the heater? Seems running water through the heater when not heating the pool, or...

Can you offer your experience with this product? How long you've owned it, any problems/repairs, would you buy it again? Thank you, Carl

Any experience with Jandy JXI POOL HEATER 400 PROPANE, WITH VERSAFLO BYPASS SKU #JXI400PK ? Thank you, Carl

compare Avia P-R404A-EP-N with Hayward Universal HC Series - Dual Fuel and Pentair - EC-462029 MasterTemp, Low NOx, 400K BTU So... any input is welcome. I'm down to 3 units The raypak doesn't have to be "ASME" I've read multiple reviews it's overkill for residential.... I'm trying to keep...

Thanks for the input. Does know of an all metal external wall water heater? No Plastic/Poly/Nylon etc. Small mesh vents all around. Besides mice/rats I'm surrounded by Squirrels, Flying Rats.... Got a couple of estimates coming Monday/Tuesday. Thanks Guys/Girls. Carl

got 10 years out of my Hayward 400k propane heater. I'm looking for a replacement. 1. my location is near multiple Oak Trees, 20-30' away. Oak leaves are dropping through the heat vent on the top of the Unit. 2. Mice/Rats Both ends of the heater have been breached by animals seeking a...

Time to put this issue to Bed. I ended up replacing the MainBoard (MPP), Display Screen only (MSP) and Sense and Dispense unit. Learned a lot about the software. Tip: when editing in configure mode, be aware of UP/Down arrows on the far right side of whatever page your on... Sense/Dispense gave...
