Hi All,
I have a condo out in the desert, and it's one of 16 units that surround what I think is a 26,000 (ish) salt water pool.
Recently, a the 4 year old pool heater (Raypak 407A) started leaking from the exchanger, and our HOA is getting bids for replacement.
Both companies that put in bids recommend NOT using another Raypak, due to durability issues, and, after 4 years of medium use, I see why.
The recommended heaters (by the contractors) are either the Jandy JXi, 400, or the Pentair ETi 400. The Jandy is about $5.2k, and the Pentair is about $10.2k (yikes).
From what I can tell, the Jandy is copper, not even cupronickel, and the Pentair is titanium.
Any recommendations on which way to go, or suggestions on other models that are comparable, yet not as pricey as the Pentair?
Longevity, yet best bang for buck, is the idea...
