Thanks Copperhead, never new about restaurant ice makers. I just thought, too much syrofoam in it to bother.

Too take apart a pool heater, you just need 5/16 bit in your drill and wire cutters to cut the wires.
Undo every screw you see and it will come apart easily.
Once you've done a few, you'll know which ones to undo.
However, taking the cast off the copper is a different issue.
You can beat it with sledge but we prefer chop saw.
Sawzall works great also.
