Excellent Purchase,

Pros: Very Easy to use, heats pool fast.
Cons: None that we can think of.
"We are so happy that we bought this heater from In The Swim. The summer hasn't had great weather but thanks to our heater we have been in our pool since May, while all our friends haven't been able to use theirs because their water is to cold. We even go swimming when it is raining out. The kids love it. I also suffer from Fibromyalgia and cold water is painful to me. But thanks again for our heater and I just jump right in. I love it. I can actually enjoy swimming now."

Disappointing,

Pros: Heats well
Cons: Doesn't last long, many repairs, company does not stand behind product
"I have had two of these heaters over the few years that I have had our pool. First year worked very well. Second year it started to leak at the heat exchanger toward the end of the summer, so we lost time in the pool. At the beginning of the third year, we had an awful time finding someone who could service the heater, and of course then the warranty was over. To make a long story short, it was just about the same scenario with the second one. Won't buy this one again."

Good Heater But Beware,
July 8, 2009

Pros: Rapid Heating, economical to use
Cons: Heater Core extremely sensitive to chemical levels
"This heater is basically a good heater for the money. I would warn anyone considering this heater that I am replacing mine after only 1 season, as the heat exchanger on my original broke down. According to the technician, this was caused by our having the chlorine tablet in the skimmer and not in a floater, thereby causing the exchanger to corrode. Cost to replace the part would be $550, so I am replacing the whole heater instead. This isn't mentioned in the owner's manual. Otherwise I am happy with this heater."

Do not purchase this heater,
June 15, 2009
By joethepoolguy

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."
