Broke again!

Update- the unit stopped working again on 5/1/09- same problem stuck thermostat- technician installed installed a one way valve between the heater and the Chlorinator cell citing backflow of highly chlorinated PH+ water into the thermostat. 100.00 dollar repair for parts and labor. Problem I have with this theory is that the cell was on the far side of a purposefully designed u turn to avoid this from the start- well see.

Purchased this along with several other components during a pool replaster & remodel the Spring of 08

This was bought along with a slew of new components that I will start reviewing - a new jandy RS 8 Automation system, solar panels, pentair quad de 60 filter, goldline chlorinator.

I decided to review this component first because Im having issues with it.

The heater is tiny - like a little 3 foot cube - way smaller than my old raypak 2100. Its form factor allows really tight installation, and I... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor reliability.... don't buy Pentair, December 20, 2010

The bearings in our Pentair whisperflow pump motor failed after three years of intermittent usage. A capacitor in the Pentair Mastertemp pool heater blower motor failed after two years of intermittent service requiring an entire new blower assembly to be purchased for $500. Both motors made in China....cheap junk! Both items beyond warranty.

Stay away from Pentair pool products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Satisfied with this Heater, July 19, 2011

I purchased this heater at another site but thought I would write a review here as well. This heater is great. Compact design, quiet, and super efficient. Ridiculously easy to operate and it looks great. Works well with my Pentair IntelliFlo pump. Make sure you are running the pump at at least 35 GPMs when you are heating. Had a bit of a cold spell here in Los Angeles last week. Pool temp went from 85 (where we like it) to 73 within a week of non-use. Fired up the heater and my 15k gallon pool/spa combo was back up to 85 within two hours.

I am very happy with this heater and Pentair products overall. Buy with confidence as it has a 2 year warranty.
