    Is it ok for saltwater pools
    ByOct 17, 2025
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    No, the standard Raypak 009217 is not recommended for saltwater pools because it has a copper heat exchanger, which is susceptible to corrosion from saltwater. For saltwater applications, you should look at Home Depot number 304323952 (Raypak 014939). It has a cupro-nickel heat exchanger, which is resistant to the corrosion caused by salt.

      Does this heater require a 220 line?
      ByJun 17, 2025
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      The Raypak 009216 model is a digital natural gas pool and spa heater. It offers dual voltage capability, meaning it can operate on either 120V or 220-240V. Therefore, while it can certainly utilize a 220 line, it is also designed to work with a 120V connection. You should always contact a licensed professional electrician to be sure.

                  Great Swap Out
                  I had a 13 year old Raypak pool heater that was failing due to rust and a heat exchanger leak, same model. I purchased this online on a Saturday and had a tractor trailer arrive to deliver on Tuesday evening without notice, no contact from shipping company. This was a week ago and Home Depot still does not recognize that it was delivered when I check status. I was lucky to be home when the delivery was made. This lack of communication is the only negative of the purchase from HD. On the positive side I have successfully swapped this in place of the old unit without issue. I piped and wired it the same way within 1-2 hours. The one difference that should be noted is the header connection ports project out 2" further than the original. This unit is working great and has a ProTek shield which I hope will give me a little more mileage with the heat exchanger than the last unit. Overall very happy with this purchase so far. I bought from HD because they offered a 2 yr 0% financing option I got in the mail when using my HD credit card.

                      Do not waste your money.
                      Installed last may of 24 worked for 3 weeks of 2025 then roll of switch went out. I have replaced 2 times and it keeps going out. Taked to 3 different pool installers and they all said this an ongoing issue with 95% of there customers. Most have junked the heater and replaced with a different unit. I have contacted rayvac 3 times about this issue and each time I get the run around. No return calls from repair person.

                        The ignition heater works as advertised. We have had no problems with it so far. I hope it lasts as well and long as the previous heater.

                        NEVER BUY A RAYPAK POOL HEATER
                        Ours is a $4200 piece of garbage. At about 4 years heat exchanger blown. Raypak provided part. Cost us $500 to install. Operated with new exchanger for two months. Already failing. Raypak tries to claim there’s something wrong with our water chemistry. Utter bs. Hasn’t changed in almost 20 years. Our old heater lasted 13-14 years with minimal repair and never a heat exchanger. Wasn’t a Raypak. We didn’t buy our Raypak from Home Depot but consumers deserve a heads up that Raypak doesn’t treat customers well.

                            Works well
                            Shipping was quick and picked up at the store. Packaging was excellent. Unit box was secured to a full pallet and had anti tipping indicators. Simple install and connection to my aqua link system.Taller than my old jandy LXI400. Fit well in the old space. Have had it operating flawlessly for 3 months and plan to run through the winter. It is covered under a roof and seems to be heating much more efficiently with less gas usage so I am pleasantly surprised. 5 stars for the 3 months so far.
