    • Workhorse.. so far... UPDATED
Size: 150,000 BTU (W3H150FDP)
Well, after reading almost all the reviews, many of which either loved this heater, or advised to avoid it at all cost, I decided to give it a try. For 12 years, I have been heating my plunge spa with a Hayward heat pump, and while it worked, it was super slow to heat in the spring and the fall. I chose the smallest propane heater I could find, as my pool is only 10' by 10' by 4' with an infinity edge. Plumbing it in was pretty straight forward. This little heater roared to life and I went from a 1 degree increase every hour with the heat pump, to 1 degree every 10 minutes. It has worked flawlessly since the install 4 months ago, and I hope it will continue. When it fires up, it has a low rumble, and the water is very noticeably hot. It only kicks on a couple of times a day. Thought I would give it a thumbs up to counter all the negative reviews. UPDATE Feb 2022: After 2 seasons, this little guy has worked perfectly. Not a single issue. My little plunge spa stays as warm as we want to set it. UPDATE May 2024: Fired right up again this year. Can't say enough good things about it. ... show more

    • Arrived with a broken igition board and Hayward customer service is useless
Size: 150,000 BTU (W3H150FDP)
It takes quite some effort to get such a heater properly installed to power and gas, then one has to figure out how to connect it the pool filter and pool, as it doesn't come with any ready-to-connect hose connectors. One has to figure out for themselves what parts are needed to connect the water-flow. When everything was finally connected, I was greeted by an error code. Proper diagnosis revealed that the ignition control board is faulty. Btw - BEWARE IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS PRODUCT ONLINE: Only PARTS are covered by warranty, but no labor! I have since been trying to get a call-back from Hayward tech support (3 days now) and just called back again to be told that they technicians are too busy right now (is it because your product breaks so easily??) and that I should call back next week if I don't hear from them today. - Possibly another weekend where I can't use the heater. Reaching out to the seller ("In The Swim") just got me boilerplate responses such as: "You can return the unit, if you pack it in its original box on its original crate". It cost me a lot of money to just get it professionally hooked up, I just want the damn thing repaired. Needless to say that this was the last Hayward product I will ever buy (unless they do get back to me today and resolve my issue ASAP! - I may update my review accordingly). ... show more

It rained. The pool heater got wet. All panels closed plastic cover closed over control panel. Pool heater would not work. "CE" error. Called Hayward over a dozen times. Hung up on each time. Zero customer service. Sent back to seller. Thank you to the seller. The poor product isn't your fault. You were good to deal with. Very professional. ... show more

    • Great heater
Size: 250,000 BTU (W3H250FDP)
Price was the beast I could find on the internet. It was not too hard to install, but I had help from a friend, that is a licensed plumber, and my Brother in law who is a licensed electrician. So I was basically muscle and tool getter. After going crazy with the LO code. I finally watched a video and it explained that the problem was LOW WATER PRESSURE. I went through every water line and after fully taking apart my filter, and cleaning it, the heater worked as expected!!! Great product and the family was enjoying the pool the next day. ... show more

    • Terrible product from even more terrible company
Size: 150,000 BTU (W3H150FDP)
Our 20 year old Hayward heater broke down so we decided to replace it with the same brand to make it easier to install and ensure compatibility. After paying the technician over $600 to modify and get this item installed it wouldn't work. When we called Hayward (outsourced call center), they give us a canned response that someone would call us back. This went on for nearly a month of calls, emails, and promises. Then they said they would send one of their technician's to take a look at it, when no one showed up they promised to get someone else out, and when the story repeated, they finally said that we'll need to hire our own. This is how some of these shameful companies operate now. Once they have your money you have to bring a lawyer for them to honor their own warranty. ... show more
