Raypak - Great tech support

Angel was amazingly patient and super knowledgeable. He helped me basically re-wire the entire setup after my pool installer mucked it all up and it wasnt working.

He sent me a link for a video call so he can see my mess.

Step by step and nearly 2 hours we got the heater going again. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME!!!

Horrible product. Paid $1,900 and it worked for 4 months.

Bought pool heater in May of 2024. By September of 2024 it was leaking from the heat exchanger.

Contacted the pool store where we bought it, and they in turn contacted Raypak who said there was nothing they could do. Weve owned a pool for 32 years and our chemicals are always as they should be.

Terrible product and terrible company. Should have stayed with the Hayward.

Original review Nov 11, 2024

I have had two installed in 24 hours; neither worked. This was the third out of four pool companies that installed a product that doesn't work. The representative doesn't answer his phone because he knows they are junk.

It was a bad breaker. I wish I had known this before I ordered a new transformer. The other guy said it was the transformer and he was positive.

We had the EXACT same thing happened to us. Running at the first year leaking water From *** in the heat exchange, had to buy a new part after installing the new part, We found out that two other parts went out at the same time.

Would not recommend this heater. Company is difficult to contact when you do contact anyone they just say it’s no longer under warranty. The part is defective.

The least they could do is offer you some kind of help with the payment of replacing the part but they chose to do nothing. I’ll never buy another Rayvak product.

Poor schematic for pool heater

Raypak - Poor schematic for pool heater

Pool heater stopped functioning.

Tech support person was good on explaining what issue was and told me to refer to schematic.

Schematic poor on how to get to electronics panel to replace 5 amp fuse.

Has to call Hvac pro and it cost me near $200.

Thanks

2nd pool heater is toast

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

First unit was making a loud whining sound and was told replacement parts would be available soon.

8months later told no parts yet I then insisted that it be replaced which was done with the same model even though that model had problems

Not 2.5 years later 2 nd unit has cracked heat exchanger and I can spend $2000.00 to fix or $4000.00 for a different brand

Customer service and reaching anyone is impossible.

I have left messages as their phone system says to not have to wait press 1 to get a call back

Well 3 days later no call back

Even the company that sold me the pool and components gets no response

Cons:
  • Poor customer service

Preferred solution: Get the unit repaired so I don’t have to spend $2,000.00 to fix a 2.5 year old unit

Warranty on unit

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Their warranty is not worth the paper it is written on! They promised to refund me the cost for diagnostic since they don't have an authorized service person in my area.

They did not pay me. I paid for that as well as the needed repairs and parts.
