My 7 year old Raypak is on life support and may be getting the plug pulled. I am loathe to invest another $500 in repairs for this heater. It has been one issue after another.
I was orginally thinking about going with a heatpump...but I am not thrilled with the prospect of having to run another 220 line and I would need to upgrade the service at the home also...plus I would need to move some landscaping that I am fond of also...coupled with the fact that I often will change the pool temp to 91 or so if we are going to have an night-pool party and the heatpump doesn't seem up to the task of rapid increases in water temp...
So I am back to replacing a heater...which brings to my question...
Should I avoid a copper exchanger and go with a cupro-nickel (or Ti)...or should I take solice in the fact that my water chemistry is spot on without any harmful pH or TA issues...and would not see any benefit from the more expensive materials????
