Raypak 014784 Polymer Headers Digital Control/Electronic Ignition/Natural Gas P-R156A-EN-C Heater

I really liked how fast it arrived, 4 days earlier than expected. What I didn't like was the warranty information saying that it had to be installed by a licensed installer when all that needs to be done for this heater is to hook up the gas line and plug it in. A monkey can install it so I don't understand the companies reasoning for the install limitations. All I know is that if my warranty isn't covered because I was able to fully install this unit by myself than the company will have a lawsuit on their hands. ***UPDATE***- Have had this unit now for several months and it runs quiet as a mouse and is very efficient, I would say about 90% or above. It heats my 24ft round, 52" deep pool very fast, I usually keep it about 86% and it is very comfortable. I also like the electronic controls, especially the one that can lock the temperature you set it at so none of the kids can change it. The gas line in is 1/2" but I use a 1/2" to 1" going to the gas line. I also put a piece of plexiglass on the pool fence above the heater so no clorinated water splashes in the top of the heater to prevent corrosion of the heater core.

No problems we r going on year 3. Heats pool quickly

I replace my old unit with this and it is leaking water in 1 month! leaking from the coil near the pipe inlets. Raypak will not help you.

Pros- Easy to install and operate, used to heat a 24x36 inground pool . Make sure you use a bypass around heater for when you add chemicals and install your chlorinater down line for maximum life . Do not drop heavy objects on it from heights. This was the 2nd unit I purchased , the first was destroyed by a poplar tree trimming accident.Cons - will not survive a 1500lb tree dropped from 40’ on top of it .

Worked good first year second year takes up to 10 or more times to get it to work if it even works

Easy to install and works flawlessly. Only (small) issue was that smoke colored door over display opened hard.

I'm using it in a above ground pool, works great got the water hot quick

Only used a total of 6 months and it started leaking…. It is 2 months past 2 year warranty and doesn’t look like Raypak will help….. definitely a waste of money
