    Red face My first pool heater today, thought it was a furnace lol!

    I was struggling to get this thing in my truck and it was lower than my tailgate I couldnt lift it. the guy came out and helped me. I thought it was a furnace until I got it home and its a pool heater!! I dont know whats inside yet but cant wait to find out!!

    Its from Litehouse and says 150M on a sticker, no other identifying stickers on the outside.

    Weeeee!!!!

    Should be a nice copper or stainless core heat exchanger in there.

    Furnaces are tall (3'-4') and rectangle and light. Pool heaters are short and squareish and heavy.
    We buy electronic scrap, Gold Karat scrap, gold filled, refined gold, silver and many other item's.

    I snagged one once.. It was one of the heaviest slugs of metal I have ever had the pleasure of putting in the back of my truck alone! Makes a 120,000 BTU furnace look like a cake-walk!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    just finished processing and 24 lbs of brass and an 18 lb copper ...umm..I'll call it a coil? kinda like a radiator that comes out of AC's.

    Copper will net $45.00

    Brass will net $35.00

    those are at my yard prices.

    I didn't bother weighing the steel housing.



    SWEET!!!!!!


    the heavy brass pieces (2) were on either end of the copper coil thingy.
