Hi Guys. Just moved into a new house and I never owned a pool before. I was stupid not to get a pool inspection. Tried to turn on the heater and it turned on for about 30 minutes, but I could smell burning, then it stopped and now will say CFH and then stay in perpetual SPK mode but will not fire up. Had my pool guy come and he said it was rusted out and that I need to replace the whole thing.
My current Heater appears to be a Raypak RP-2100 but the old model. I think this is the original heater installed in the early 2000's when the pool was built. It looks like this:

He recommended a Jandy JXi 400k btu with VersaFlow.
Most on here recommend I get another Raypak. Anyone have any specific models that would be best for me? I don't mind spending a bit more for quality, but I don't need name brands or anything like that. I plan to install a Pentair system later if that makes any difference. I have read that most of your stuff needs to be the same brand for automation but the heater doesn't matter much.
Thanks for any input!
