Replacing Laars Lite 2 400k natural gas pool heater....need recommendations

[monzter]

My Laars died about a year and a half ago and I'm just getting around to replacing it. It served us well for 13 years and I came to find that they no longer sell residential pool heaters. I've looked online, but the reviews are all over the place on the different heaters.

It is a natural gas heater.

Looking at Hayward, Pentair, Raypak..I want a no frills 400k unit that will heat my pool and spa reliably.

Appreciate any advice I can get.

Thanks.

Raypak, Raypak and Raypak. Their units were very similar to the Teledyne Laars models of old, and they are still bulletproof. Straightforward, no frills, and easy to control and maintain.
