It is the genuine Raypak part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePool water attacks metal, and salt pools attack it faster. The Protek Shield is sacrificial: it erodes over the season so the heater does not. Seeing the shield worn down when you pull it is the sign it has been protecting the heat exchanger and other wetted parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReplace it every year\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaypak recommends annual replacement. The module is compact and swaps out in a few minutes, so it belongs on the same spring checklist as cleaning the filter. It is designed for both chlorinated and saltwater pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the replacement module for heaters that already have the Protek Shield installed.
