Pool Heater Heat Exchanger Replacement
Why is my pool heater leaking?
If water appears around the bottom of the pool heater: you may have a damaged heat exchanger that is leaking pool water! In the case of Raypak Pool Heaters and Hayward H-Series Ed2 Style Pool Heaters you will be able to see the water leaking from above the burner area if you take the front heater cover off. Unfortunately, in the case of Jandy JXI Heaters, Pentair Master Temp and Hayward H250FDN Universal H-Series Pool Heater you won’t be able to see the water coming down because these heaters have sealed combustion chambers and usually have been leaking for a few days before you notice any signs of water around the bottom of the pool heater.
What is a Pool Heater Heat Exchanger?
The heat exchanger is the copper tubing coil that transfers heat from the burning flue gas through the walls of the heat exchanger into the pool water circulating through it. In simple terms it is where the cooler pool water enters and then leave hot. Its located directly above the burners in the combustion chamber in most pool heaters.
How do I know if my pool heater heat exchanger is damaged?
Other than water appearing around the bottom of the pool heater, you may notice white smoke which is really Steam coming from the top of the heater. The heater may continue to work until the leak in the heat exchanger becomes larger after which the heater may shut down completely.

What to do if you suspect a faulty heat exchanger?
If you suspect your heaters heat exchanger is faulty, it is a good idea to shut the power off to the heater and the pump. Pool water circulating through the heat exchanger will create more damage to the heat exchanger and the other parts of the heater which may increase the cost of the repairs.
