I bought a demo/open box chlorinator from them. So far the product has been working well (one week) and it looked new in the manufacturers box when I got it. Communication with them was great. Price I got for the open box item was worth it. Would use them again. Thanks.

FAQ
Our expert staff answers customer's most asked questions.
How does the warranty differ for products purchased online?
Products purchased from an Authorized Pentair Online Reseller (with product codes beginning with EC-) receive a one-year parts-only warranty from the purchase date. Exceptions include IntelliChlor cells and IntelliFlo SVRS pumps, which receive a two-year parts-only warranty. These products are not eligible for the bundled three-year extended warranty.
How many BTUs does my heater need to heat a pool or spa?
The ideal BTU rating for your heater depends on your desired heating speed. A 200 BTU or 250 BTU heater is suitable for a spa or pool, while a 400 BTU heater will heat your pool and spa more rapidly.
