    Purchasing heaters - local vs online

    I need to replace two 400K Pentair heaters. My preference is to buy local, but some of the online options look like I could save $3000+.

    Large Pool Heater Recommendation?

    Hi TFP, first time caller, long time listener here. I've got a 60K gallon saltwater pool and two Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm (now Pentair) 400K heaters. The heaters and the pool are 15 years old and it seems like the last 3-4 years I have been fighting with the heaters about every six months. I've...
