are there any other heater brands to consider?
Most people just confine themselves to the big two when looking at Gas Heating for their pool or spa.
But of course, there are other heater brands out there for your pool, and we can help you to select what might suit your needs best.
We have a page devoted to Pentair Heaters but brands such as Davey, Waterco or Zodiac may be something to consider – or even something else. You may even be thinking of a Heat Pump. Did you know we install those as well?
Davey Pool Heaters
You may notice that the Davey Pool Heater in the picture looks very similar to Raypak pictures on other pages. This is because it is a rebadged Raypak Heater. So if you are using or putting in all Davey Pool or Spa Equipment but like the Raypak Heater, this may be an option. And of course, we can provide and install not only the Davey Gas Pool Heater but the equipment as well.
Waterco Pool Heaters
The Waterco Turbotemp Heater is, like the Pentair Mastertemp, a Heater with a fully premixed gas system. It may be for you, why not contact us and we can work out what your best options are. This pool heater requires expert installation and configuration so ensure you are fully informed before making your choice.
Zodiac Pool Heaters
Zodiac purchased Teledyne Laars several years ago and produced their own Laars-based Zodiac pool heaters for some time. Their current model is not the LRZ shown at left, but a non-Laars-based JXi model. For some time, the JXi gave an external appearance to the old Legacy with an upgraded interior design. Unfortunately, the main drawcard for the older Legacy Laars-based model was that it was not digitally based for heat control, but instead relied on a knob which greatly assisted many people.
Recently, like Astral (Hurlcon), Zodiac was purchased by Fluidra. Now, the JXi bears no resemblance whatsoever to this. The new JXi is pictured below:
What about other heater brands?
Naturally, Davey, Waterco and Zodiac are not the only other heater brands around. There are such companies as Hayward for instance, all making pool heaters.
The best pool heaters are generally fairly simply but solidly manufactured, and this, coupled with local manufacture will often help you to work out which of the many other heater brands is best for you.
