    Raypak 407a enx vs 408a enx?

    I have a 406 a. It has died by virtue of rusting out in the bottom. There have been a lot of posts about these water heaters. Nonetheless, we got eight years out of it so I guess that is pretty good. I’m now needing to look into a new pool heater. There is a 407a and a 408a. The 408 is a...

    I have a ~30k gallon pool and a Teledyne Laars Series 2 250k BTU heater. My pool guy has said the Laars is probably running at 60% efficiency and so is just underpowered for the pool, and is old to boot. It has worked OK in the past but now seems slower than ever. The heater takes forever if at...

    Jandy RS8->OneTouch: Connect to house via RS485 transceiver?

    I have a Jandy RS8 which works very well, and also has an AquaPalm attached, as my pool house is 200 ft from the main house. I'd like to have the OneTouch panel, currently in the pool house, moved to the main house for programming convenience. However, as a recent lightening strike in my area...
