Laars/ Jandy FAQ (cont.)
Conservation of
energy and fuel economy are extremely
important—and an efficient pool heater can
achieve, both.
By eliminating wasteful heating, a heater
can quickly pay for itself. For example, all
Teledyne Laars/ Jandy heaters are equipped with a
sensitive thermostatic pool temperature
control. It maintains the pool at the exact
temperature desired without wasteful, long
on-and-off cycles of heating and cooling.
Rust,
corrosion and scale are the elements that deteriorate pool heaters fast.
That’s why we make our sturdy 1-piece heater jackets rigid and strong, with
single-seam welding and a new longer lasting, weather resistant coating that
resists corrosion and ends flaking of finish. Our heat exchanger produces a
scouring-action water flow that virtually inhibits scaling.
We have a
salt-water pool. Any special problems?
Yes. Salt water
is highly corrosive, and a heater must be
equipped with a special heat exchanger and
other features to handle it. Teledyne Laars/
Jandy
heaters designed for salt water use are
available on special order.
Will we have to buy any extras?
Not with
Teledyne Laars/ Jandy. Everything you need for
convenient, efficient operation is part of
the heater package. In our gas-fired models
with pilot light, included are such features
as the Visoflame pilot lighting device that
puts the pilot where it can be seen for fast
checkout and easy lighting. Series 2 model
ESC heaters have an electronic temperature
controller which provides two separate
temperature settings for the pool and spa
modes of operation. This model also has
electronic intermittent ignition for even
lower operating costs.
Will my pool heater require much
maintenance?
Not if it’s a
Teledyne Laars/ Jandy. Usually, one maintenance
inspection a year is sufficient to keep your
heater working efficiently. Maintenance is
largely a preventive measure used to
safeguard your heater’s working condition.
The ruggedness, corrosion-free construction
and long-lasting finish of our heaters
combine with simplicity of engineering to
keep maintenance minimal.
How do I get service on my heater?
This should
always be done by a trained technician. For
years Teledyne Laars/ Jandy has been conducting
service training schools in all parts of the
country for pool service companies and our
dealers to assure the availability of highly
skilled technicians wherever you live. On
Long Island, Paramount Pools has been an
authorized Teledyne Laars/ Jandy installer and
service center for over 18 years.
What about parts?
When you need
them, we offer genuine factory
parts through
Teledyne Laars/ Jandy dealers. They are warehoused
strategically across the nation to assure
prompt replacement and repair regardless of
where you live. Poolcenter.com has all the parts you would ever need.
For other parts of the country, you can
order them from us either over
the phone at 877-766-5287, or right here
on-line (see the
heater parts section of this Web
Site for complete exploded views of all
Teledyne heaters).
What about warranties?
The
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and the Federal
Trade Commission require that product
warranties be clearly and simply stated—and
that such warranties be available to
consumers prior to purchase. Be sure you ask
for and read all warranties.
Our warranties are available from the dealer
or by writing the factory. A warranty
accompanies each heater, along with
installation and operating instructions and
service manual.
Equally important is the reputation of the manufacturer. Teledyne Laars/
Jandy has
been standing behind its products for more than 40 years.
Why is the reputation of the manufacturer so
important?
For two reasons:
The quality of your heater and the
protection of your investment in it.
Teledyne Laars/ Jandy is the oldest and world’s
largest gas pool heater manufacturer, with
more heaters sold than all other brands
combined. This is the result of engineering
leadership that includes pioneering the
first pool heater... the first stack-less
model... the first line of heater to be
fully approved for outdoor use... the first
high-velocity flow-through tubes for heat
exchangers... and the first truly compact
oil-fired heater.
This leadership is sustained by a large
national organization of distributors,
dealers and technicians. Paramount Pools has
been a dealer for over 18 years.
How long should a heater last?
Some heaters
wear out in three or four years, but
Teledyne Laars/ Jandy heaters normally last a lot
longer. A product life of 10 to 12 years is
not uncommon. Heater failure is usually the
result of some outside cause—not normal
usage—provided it has been properly
maintained.
Could we add a heater later, after our pool
is built?
Yes. Although a
Teledyne Laars/ Jandy heater can be added at any
time, it should
be included from the beginning, just as a heating system is installed
during the construction of a home. This
means greater convenience for you and less
installation cost. When you include a heater
in the beginning, it costs only 6% - 10% of
your pool investment and usually gives you
100% more enjoyment from your pool. If the
heater is not installed when the pool is
built, provision should be made for a heater
stub-out in the return water line, and space
or a concrete pad should be provided for
future installation.
