We're looking at replacing our old Jandy Lars Lite 250k BTU Pool Heater... Our pool is 79800 L salt. All equipment is protected in the pool shed.
Never purchased a pool heater so I'm not sure what I want to be looking for and if I should be replacing with the same size/BTU unit? The old Lars Lite works still but seems is old and the sometimes won't fire up. Also, I think it's adding a lot of iron to my pool with the old heat exchanger.
Are any of the new heaters programable to run at certain time, or are they all run based off the thermostat (temp drops, switches on)? Just curious as the new Hayward pump I installed last summer has been so awesome with it's ability to adjust GPH/RPM to times when power is less expensive.
My installer said the Raypak 266K or Hayward H250 are available. Read that the Hayward has the better Cupro nickel heat exchanger, but I see its an upgraded option on the Raypak as well. Are those good heaters or should I look at another brand/model as well?
Look forward to any input - thanks!
