Just another way that Sta-Rite built a radically different heater. A completely redesigned pool heater that allows the Pentair MasterTemp and Sta-Rite Max-e-Therm heaters to be over 50% smaller in size and footprint. I sincerely hope that this post has helped you solve your pool heater problem!
Is the mastertemp pool heater the same as the Max-E therm?

What does R13 mean on a Star rite pool heater?
