Does anyone have a recommendation for an online pool supply store? I need to buy a new heater (was looking for Pentair Mastertemp 250k). I wanted to install it myself as the quotes to have it installed are nearly double the cost of the heater. I originally tried to buy from pool supply stores in my area but they all tell me they can only sell to pool companies and not to me as an individual. I'm hesitant to purchase this online but it seems to be my only option unless I want to pay a premium from a pool company. Thanks for any help.

Just a thought.... are you qualified to play around with natural gas lines or will you need a gas plumber for that aspect?

I'll have help from a plumber for that part but can handle the rest myself. What were you thinking?Just a thought.... are you qualified to play around with natural gas lines or will you need a gas plumber for that aspect?

To get a full warranty the heater needs to be installed by a pool professional. If there is an issue with a heater purchased online you may have to be able to prove that your plumber qualifies as such.

The pool heater I linked to above is Pentair EC grade. A one year warranty regardless whom installed.
