We recently installed this heater to go with our Core 35 which is $1,400.00 itself to convert to a pool salt system. Usually our pool is cloudy but since going to salt it’s cleared up considerably. We decided to install a heater after talking about doing so for years now as the pool is almost always cloudy during the summer and Generally we can only swim May - September due to the water getting to chili in October- April. We are hoping with this heater to extend our swimming season to 11 months out of the year. It took roughly 4 days to install it So it was a little hard to hook up we had to run gas lines literally all over the side of our house and through our attic and underground to get to our heater as you can see from the pictures. We tested it out the first night and overnight it warmed our pool from 65* to 80*F, Def can feel the warm water coming out of the jets. Looking forward to trying this out more in October and November when temperatures really drop down but so far I’m pleased with it. Spent roughly $1,200.00 in labor to get the work done and another $800 in parts, like gas line pipes, fittings plumbing and valves… thankfully lowes was able to cut and put the fittings on our gas lines for us but I would say this is a minimum $4,500.00 project undertaking perhaps a bit more if using a pool company, professional plumber or if you live in a big city. We got the 250,000 btu heater and our pool is roughly 22,500 gallons which maybe overkill but wanted to go to big rather than to small on a nice heater…Just wanted to throw that out there for anyone considering getting one installed. That price includes the cost of the unit. The unit really isn’t loud. Update we have had it a little over a week now and we love it! We are in the pool almost daily now. I generally keep the heater on 78* degrees and when I get off work and home around 530pm I’ll cracked it up to 104* and by 7:30pm it’s over 94*! Talking about nice and relaxing I could literally sit in the pool as if it were a hot tub! Updated after a month we are in October now and still like the heater. Gas bill was about $60 more than it normally is for this time of the year and we generally keep the heater on 82F in the pool. One issue we have had is the heater will show the code LO every now and then and will go into a protection mode and will not work until you backwash and let the pressure out

Do not buy this product the company Hayward will not stand behind their product... we are on our 2nd pool heater, and they have both tore up!!! The last one I purchased was this past summer and it has started leaking water.. the company says they will not replace or fix the part because it is chemical damage... WHAT THE HELL!! it's made for a pool that has Chemicals in it!!! We had a Hayward sponsored repairman come out and he told my husband it is a factory defect, and we are not the only people who has had this to happen to their NEW UNIT!!!! I am beyond frustrated!!! So if you have any common sense don't purchase this piece of JUNK!

This heater is used primarily to heat my hot tub water, however, it could also heat the pool. The design is such that with a few simple steps one can connect the electrical, ground, and gas to either the right or left side of the heater. It is quiet and does a superb job at what it's designed to do. It's no wonder it's rated as a top product. I would recommend this heater.

This heater is really expensive , the brand is famous for pool supplies, but is very picky, doesn’t turn on ,unless the filter is super clean, the amount of gas is also measured, we had to do several changes , piping, increase the gas supply, compare to the very old one that we had., in fact we had to use the warranty , because did not turn on, was some electronic thing inside, that had to be replaced.

Really good heater. Super efficient at heating up our 40’ x 25’ in- ground pool. Works perfect. Was an easy install and super fast shipping. I received it two days after ordering! Recommended.

Stay away at all costs. I bought this Hayward heater about a year ago and after about 6 months of total use the heat exchanger failed in 4 different spots right at the joint of the elbows. After looking online I have found that this is an ongoing problem with these units as every picture I have seen they form leaks in the same exact place. I contacted Hayward as they state that the unit is covered for 3 years and was given the runaround. So I am now out 3500 dollars on a unit that lasted less than a year of use.
