Can't run heater below 40f???

[cruzmisl]

Thanks for the reply. I figured as much. I used to use my old heater about 3-4 times a week in the winter. That particular unit was a Raypak Versa 2 and it was outside in the elements which could have added to the issue. I left it on for 18 hrs to get my pool up to temp this spring and the thing started leaking at the top manifolds which is an apparent problem with those units when you fire them for extended periods. I took it apart to try and fix it and it was rotten. Having said that it was constructed with standard nuts and bolts while my Sta-Rite has all stainless fasteners etc so hopefully it will last longer.


$1500 later of course


PS I should also add everyone at the pool company told me it was my water but they didn't know I am about as anal as they come with my Taylor K-2006 test kit. They also tested my water and no copper present so the thing essentially rotted from the outside. At least that's my thinking.
