Replacing your old pool heater pad with a new concrete pool equipment pad when installing a new GulfStream or Built Right pool heater is important for the following reasons:

• Structural Integrity: Over time, concrete or plastic pads can crack, settle, or shift, creating an uneven surface. A new heater requires a stable and level foundation to ensure proper operation and longevity.
• Preventing Future Heater Damage: An unstable or deteriorating pad can cause the pool heater to vibrate excessively, leading to premature wear on internal components and potential water line misalignment.
• Proper Drainage: Older pads may have developed drainage issues, allowing water to pool around the heater, which can lead to rust, corrosion, or electrical damage.
• Installation Requirements: Newer pool heater models require specific pad dimensions or clearances for proper ventilation and safety, meaning your old pad may no longer meet manufacturer guidelines.
• Aesthetic Appeal: A new heater on a fresh pad looks much better than placing it on an old, cracked, or stained pad, helping maintain the overall visual appeal of your pool equipment area.
• Uses Standard Tapcon Screws: No special inserts to required to securely attach to the equipment.
• Lighter than Concrete: Incorporates an EPS foam core which makes it much lighter than solid concrete, allowing for easy placement and removal with less strain.
• Stronger than Competition: 720 lb load capacity.
• Steel Reinforced: Adds strength and stability to the pad.
• Made in the USA!
