What about all the posts in this forum stating same thing happened to them? Leaky heat exchanger on same model despite good water chemistry?

It was the heat exchanger - rusted completely and started leaking in 3 seasons. We have a salt water pool and have it professionally balanced all season. No feeder tablet.

Hello, our new pool’s heater just stopped working a few weeks after the warranty expired. We had a Hayward H250 and the heat exchanger failed/rusted. We have a salt water pool and keep it balanced biweekly professionally. Needless to say we’d like to replace with a more durable unit. Is Raypack...

Do you think the anchors will not be noticeable if our pavers are grey? I know the anchors only come in brass.

We live in Canada with very harsh winters (lots of snow and ice). We just had an inground pool installed. Our PB mentioned we could just use a leaf net with water bags in the fall, then remove it when it freezes over and let the ice/snow be our pool cover until the spring. I’ve been doing some...

Great thank you. We were debating placing the gas heater behind the shed outside but read you need to keep debris and leaves off the heater which would be annoying given they’re up against a tree line.

Thanks so much. If we kept the heater outside to allow for extra air flow and ventilation, is there any danger with all the leaves falling for on the heater? Our pool builder would be putting in a venting kit into the shed which I believe would be installed by the natural gas installers.

Hi! We are about to have a pool installed and would like to enclose our equipment in a shed. We had a few questions: 1) Should the pool heater be inside if we vent appropriately? It will be next to large trees so there will be lots of leaves falling on equipment. 2) should the flooring for...

Do you still like your pool? We are planning the same - 4’ in the shallow to 5’ in the deep.

How wide is your shallow end? Ours will be approx. 14x16 and another 2 foot walking ledge around the perimeter.

We are thinking of a similar plan. Do you still like your pool? Ours would be 4’ to 7’.

My husband is 6’ and my kids will likely be tall (5’6 or above). Any issues when jumping in feet first?

By sports pool do you mean the 4-5-4 configuration? That is another option for us but not sure the 32 length is long enough for that without sacrificing too much shallow end.

So 5' isn't too shallow for jumping in without breaking an ankle? That is our main concern - our kids love to jump. We were originally going to go with a 7' deep end (no diving) but because the hopper is small and the slope down takes so much room, we wondered if even the deep end would be safe...

Hi! We are building a 16x32 pool (steel and vinyl) and can’t decide on the depth of the deep end. We have two young children who love to jump in the water. No diving will be allowed. Our shallow end will be 4’ with a 3’ walking ledge near the stairs. Trying to decide between a 5’ or 7’ for the...
