bar@drinkstuff Lay-Z-Spa Heater Pump Unit With Freeze Shield Technology (2021)

Fantastic

Worked perfectly straight away, definitely quieter than my old unit. I like the lift up control panel too.

Easy to install value for money Very happy with this product

Why did you choose this product over others?: It was a later version of the same product, better functions as it still heats and pumps water whilst having the air jets on too. Great with cup holders and adjustable controller. 100% happy so far

Arrived on time and works well so far

Fast delivery less than 24 hours from ordering. Fits my lazy spa perfectly and is uo and running within 10 mins of arrival. I purchased as my old egg shaped pump was leaking water this one is quieter too.

Very prompt delivery - next day. Exactly as described and working perfectly.

Was attracted by the discounted price on a 'new' item. Was surprised on running it for the first time that the pump unit made more noise than the old one it replaced but didn't think any more about it. For some weeks afterward, found the pool was losing water very slowly and suspected a leak from the liner. After roughly 10 weeks of infrequent use I found the pool two thirds empty and realised water was dripping out of the new pump unit. Rather than return I watched a couple of Youtube videos and determined that the leak was from the heater. I could doubtless have returned the whole pump under guarantee (as doubtless most people would) but instead I removed the heater and stripped it down only to find the aluminium was heavily pitted with corrosion at both ends, in one place leaving holes that the gaskets couldn't possibly seal. I have since made good the pitting by applying a liquid engine gasket to both ends and the pump unit is now working satisfactorily and without leaks. We live in a soft water area with neutral pH and I treat the water carefully and regularly. The previous pump unit operated without fault for nearly three years in these conditions. And so I find it difficult to believe that the heater within the pump unit was new. Despite 'new looking' gaskets it has a 'worn looking' aluminium shell and I don't see how that can have happened through just a few weeks of light use. If my suspicion is correct then the noisier than its predecessor pump may well be worn too. N.b. the outer plastic casing of the pump unit does appear brand new. So as I see it, there are three possibilities - 1/ it is a 'reconditioned unit', 2/ it was a returned unit where the original buyer has swapped out worn parts for new or 3/ I am wrong. Whichever is the case, it only lasted 10 weeks before requiring significant repair. In summary I wish I had spent the same time rebuilding the failed old pump or buying a full price replacement from Lay Z Boy. Disappointed.

Il faudrait signaler lors de la commande que la prise ne s'adapte pas au branchement européen et qu'il faut acheter un adaptateur spécial. Ça éviterait des problèmes le jour du branchement.
