The most common heating source for your pool or spa is a natural gas fired pool heater. Installing one can add months of enjoyment to your swimming season.
As authorized and accredited Pentair and Hayward technicians, we have undergone rigorous training to understand their heaters.
Pool heaters require a dedicated gas supply line directly off of the gas meter. Undersized gas supply lines, incorrect installation or poor workmanship will limit the lifespan of your heater and void your warranty.
We typically stock the most common parts for both the Pentair and Hayward brands on hand and can arrive ready to repair your heater.
When planning your pool project, keep in mind some of the following items.
The short answer is NO. More often than not, pool heater supply lines are undersized. The reason being is that over the years technology has evolved which have altered the demands of these units. A 200,000 BTU natural draft pool heater 15 years ago would have required less gas than a high efficiency equivalent model now. Unless your pool heater supply line has been intentionally oversized, it is not recommended to split the gas line for multiple appliances.
The only time you should see water under your pool heater/equipment is post rainfall, while cleaning, testing or replacing components. Signs of water or puddles under your equipment are the first indications that something may be potentially going wrong with your equipment.
