Do not purchase this heater,
June 15, 2009
By joethepoolguyfrom NY
Cons: Heat Exchanger needs to be replace every year
"I have had this heater for two years and have gone through 3 heat exchangers. Godd luck finding somebody to repair this while under warranty. Finally got it repaired under waranty once, after it broke two weeks after installation. The second time, Hayward would not stand behind the 1 year warranty, so now I'm out $800! Do not waste your money on this product. the repair service i used said they replace a lot of these, so it's ap known problem that Hayward will not do anything about."

It serves it's purpose,
January 31, 2009
By tbebfrom Northweat Indiana
Pros: Works great for our 16' W by 28' L by 4' to 6' Deep, above ground pool Cons: none
"We've used our heater for 4 seasons. We did have to replace the heat exchanger once, but we think this was caused by incorrect plumbing. We keep our water chemically balanced all the time. We keep water temperature 82-84 degrees. Yes, when using heater our gas consumption is almost as high in the summer as winter (but that's to be expected). Yes, heating the water seems to lower both the Ph and Chlorine level (but we think any heater would). We open our pool around 6/1, and close it around 9/15. We think it's very, very important to plumb the heater correctly. We mean installing a check valve on the heater outlet side, making sure it's positioned lower than this outlet. If it matters, we did not plumb in a bypass line. We would buy this heater again, especially if it had the lowest price tag."

Very Happy with our Heater,
December 14, 2008
By rezlatsfrom Staten Island, NY
Pros: Extended our pool season Cons: Gas bill higher in Summer months
"We were very happy with our Hayward above ground heater. We had it for approximately 6 years and enjoyed our extended pool season. Living in New York, our pool was never really warm enough to enjoy unless we had a 90 degree week. With our heater, we have enjoyed our pool whenever we wanted from May through November throughout the years and we could not live without it."

Good for a year,
July 20, 2008
By GLUnixGurufrom Mine Hill, NJ
Pros: Heats the pool. Cons: Very sensitive to PH and ALK levels
"Works well, but is extremely sensitive to chemical levels. On my second heater and third heat exchanger. The first two failed due to poor workmanship and were replaced by Hayward, but it took 7 wks to get the new ones. Missed the whole swim season. The last one was my fault. PH and ALK where off and the water ate the exchanger in nothing flat."

Love this product,
November 7, 2007
By msymouse
Pros: great price
"I love my new heater. The size is great not to large for the patio. The warm pool is wonderful. It has a lot of power, almost hot tub strength if turned up high. The thermostat keeps my pool the perfect temp."

Save your money,
June 6, 2007
By heaters
Cons: Unrealiable
"I'm on my second heater. I should have learned when the first one went out. They are good for about a year and then they start acting up. Save your $800 and put it towards a good heater."
