It is indeed possible to use propane. It doesn't run off tank of 20 lbs of propane. It was installed at the same time as the pool and heater and contains a 250-gallon underground propane tank. The only option for me was propane, since NG is not available in my neighborhood. The answers that were posted online were sarcastic and frankly insulting, and those users ought to be more familiar with the product BEFORE they publish their comments. In the end, they seem stupid for getting the wrong answer to
As this is the first pool heater we have ever owned, we can't say for sure whether it is excessively noisy or not. Noise is generated, but not at a level that we consider
Depending on how long of a run it is, your piping will vary. The formulas for calculating it, I don't remember them off hand. Google it if you need more information. Approximately 5 feet of my mine are reduced to 3/4" in height. Here is what it is Before that, there will be 25". Your pool's temperature will be controlled by this heater. On average mine is 16x32, about four feet deep, and heats up overnight from 65 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit At 80 degrees.
The pool I have has a capacity of 21,000 gallons and it operates well. It raised the temperature of my pool from 63F to 84F in just about 24 hours when I started using it last week. I imagine it would work well in your pool as well. Heating the extra 15K gallons will take a bit longer, but it will still operate properly.

I haven't used the heater for ten months, so I turned on the heater failure light. The problem has now been identified as a blown thermocouple in the exhaust gas control circuitry. The thermocouple is one of many safety switches in the system, all of which must be closed before the engine can start. According to the Hayward manual, it is necessary to replace the heat exchanger in the event of failure of this exhaust gas component. I contacted Hayward about a warranty replacement after finding out about this discovery. As a 69-year-old, I can honestly say that I have never dealt with a customer service representative who was abrasive and interruptive. The moment possible. At this point, I am researching other heater manufacturers and will let you know my selection when it is made. It is not just the terrible treatment I received during my call for assistance from Hayward that makes me eager to throw the Hayward in the trash, but also the fact that I am eager to throw it in the trash. It is strongly recommended that unless you have the intention of replacing your Hayward pool heater each spring and do not want a warranty, it is not necessary to buy one at all!.
Almost all of the pool equipment we buy from Hayward. spring, when we opened our pool, we found out that our heater, which was only 2 years old, was not only leaking, but was actually gushing water from it. After calling the company we were told that we are not covered by the warranty since we put it into place ourselves. The warranty's validity was not acknowledged because we put it into place It goes without saying- spending nearly $2000 every two years on a pool heater is simply unacceptable As long as the company finds any excuse to not honor the warranty, you can count on them to not honor it.
I. The problem The hot tub/pool heater I had had high hopes for 6 months, but they were dashed to the ground! This picture and clip show a short episode of the show. The leak appears to have been occurring for some time, but the leak was situated on the drain side of the floor drain to the left of the wall (not the water inlet I thought a leak was occurring since the hot tub was installed, but I failed to notice until the leak became large and I couldn't figure out why water kept leaking from the hot tub. There is either a manufacturing assembly problem with these Heat Exchangers or they are not made robust enough. Since the leak seems to be occurring where the elbows are brazed into the heat exchanger, it seems to be the latter option. To do this, I need to find out how to contact Hayward to obtain a RGA number. Let me know how it goes if you wish me luck. Two weeks ago, I bought and installed a big 400,000 BTU Hayward to use in the pool. It is my hope that I'll be able to overcome.
I am so sorry! I am so sorry! We bought the unit in may 2015, and the heat exchanger kept leaking at the bolts on the side of the manifold, the ports didn't align for the heat exchanger, and the water friction kept wearing out the end of the I had it for less than 6 months before it began to leak. It would have been better if they had used copper instead of aluminum. I must say, that is a waste of I just replaced a heater I had for 13 years for $000
But now I'm so angry.
It wasn't until Fall of 2015 that the heater was installed, after it was bought in May 2014.
It was then only used to "extend" the swim season into September from that point on, and not required for supplemental heating the rest of the time. The summer is a time to spend outdoors. As a result, a steady leak has developed. Unless the heat exchanger has been damaged (outside of the warranty period), it seems to have failed. As far as I can tell, this is a common problem. I'm not ok with this for the amount of money I paid! * Additionally, we have our chemical levels checked and maintained by a professional chemical company local to us. It is strongly recommended that you do not purchase from Hayward. In the event that I hear back from Hayward, I will follow up with them.
After buying this unit in 2014, I replaced the heat exchanger two times myself without the help of a pool contractor at a cost of $830. 100 and up Hayward will not back up the product since its PH level was not correct. Even if this was true, it still could be considered an engineering failure since it is unlikely your water will be constant, especially after being covered over for winter or if you are away on vacation. It looks like the intake pipes are made of micro thin copper (literally). When it comes to this heater, the reed exchager is so thin that you cannot even resolder a joint, The heater works fine, but you will likely have to replace the reed every season like I have. MAKE SURE YOU ARE A SAFE BUYER!.
