Our Starite maxitherm 400 propane heater has finally rusted a hole in the burn box by the exchanger. It runs for a short period and then shuts down due to air intake with the hole (approx. 3x5”). I got two options from our heater guys.
Here in Florida, mice and other critters are a problem with these heaters. Opening it up today, the guy was faced with its inside completely full with leaves, twigs, plastic bags, and even a piece of a used shooting range target. Both options are supposed to provide much better protection against nesting critters.
Here are the options I was given. We have a 1000 gallon spa, so 400 is a must. He said the Pentair is more popular seller. Your thoughts? As usual I searched the forum and discovered many heater threads that educated me. Are both able to convert to NG if we natural gas in the future?
