Hi all,
I recently re-plumbed my pool that had set empty for 2 years. When I started to let water go through the system, water dripped out from a hairline crack at the heater manifold where the 2" pipes connect. I am very certain that the crack was caused by a hard freeze sometime ago because my above ground pipe and valve also cracked.
A new heater is about $2000 and the part is about $300. If this is the only part I need to change, I will replace it. However, I just don't know if other components may also be damaged by the freeze or sitting idle for so long. Does anyone have any experience on heaters damaged by freeze?
Thanks,
Scott
