Copper vs. Cupronickel
It is important to verify which heat exchanger material is required before ordering.
- R0303805 – Complete Copper Heat Exchanger Assembly for Hi-E2 350
- R0523705 – Complete Cupronickel Heat Exchanger Assembly for Hi-E2 350
These parts should not be confused with one another. Verify the original heater configuration and heat exchanger material before replacement.
When Should a Heat Exchanger Be Replaced?
Common signs of a failing Hi-E2 heat exchanger can include:
- Water leaking from inside the heater
- Visible corrosion
- Cracked or damaged tubing
- Reduced heating performance
- Water entering areas of the combustion chamber
- Repeated header or exchanger leakage
- Significant mineral buildup or internal deterioration
Before replacing the heat exchanger, the underlying cause of failure should be identified.
Improper pool water chemistry, excessive chlorination, low pH, inadequate water flow, scaling, or improper heater operation can shorten heat exchanger life.
Complete Assembly vs. Tube Assembly
The R0303805 is the complete heat exchanger assembly, rather than only the replacement tube bundle.
For reference:
- R0303805 – Complete Copper Heat Exchanger Assembly
- 10839405 – Copper Heat Exchanger Tube Assembly
- R0303900 – Inlet/Outlet Header
- R0304000 – Return Header
- R0304300 – Header Gasket
- R0304400 – Bypass Valve Assembly
Choosing the complete assembly can be beneficial when multiple components of the existing heat exchanger system are deteriorated or damaged.
Installation Information
Replacing a heat exchanger requires substantial disassembly of the heater and should be performed by a qualified pool-heater technician.
Prior to installation, verify:
- Heater model is Hi-E2 350
- Existing exchanger is the copper configuration
- Plumbing flow is within manufacturer specifications
- Pool and spa water chemistry is properly balanced
- Heater bypass components are operating correctly
- Header connections and plumbing are properly aligned
- The original heat exchanger failure has been diagnosed
Correct installation and balanced water chemistry are critical to maximizing the life of the replacement heat exchanger.
