When electricity is the energy choice Raypak is the quality choice -- dependable, trouble-free, performance-proven - with corrosion-free, 100% copper and bronze waterways. Two compact models - 5.5kw and 11kw - built to last by the company renowned for reliability.

SpaPak spa/hot tub electric heaters furnish sustained heat to provide the maximum benefits of hydrotherapy...including stress reduction, relaxation and arthritis/pain relief.

FEATURES:

  • Longer Life
    Because all waterways are corrosion-free copper and bronze - not aluminum. And, SpaPak features large size, heavy duty Incoloy heating elements that lasts far longer than ordinary water heating elements.
  • Troublefree
    Because SpaPak has extra quality and safety built-in - a pressure switch to prevent operation without water flow, a high limit temperature control to prevent overheating and a dependable quality thermostat.
  • Easy to Install
    With a compact design that fits into small spaces. Standard size, full flow 1-1/2" inlet and outlet connections are conveniently located. External current leak protectors are not required
  • Sizing Guide

The following table shows the heating capability for each model in temperature rise per hour with a given amount of water. For example, the 11kw unit will raise the temperature of 450 gallons of water 10 degrees Fahrenheit in one hour. To determine the gallonage of your spa, multiply the surface area x average depth x 7.5.

For the 5.5KW unit how much water flow is required through the heater(570gph)?
 Reply

A  Answered on 9/29/2006 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

The flow should be maintained above 15 GPM (900 GPH).  Failure to do so will cause the pressure switch to drop out, and the heater will become inoperative.

Most would tear it out, but for $2,300 with new lighting and a few bugs ironed out, the hot tub is at it's best in years.
Although the Spapak 11KW Spa heater went in easy, I thought the heater was faulty as it failed to heat past 86 degrees and AC indicator would not illuminate, and half the dual breaker would trip. A write up in the trouble shooting steps showed that the over pressure switch trip point comes set for a single speed pool pump during the vendor testing. The two speed hot tub pump would over pressurize and trip the relay. All it took is a 1/4 turn counter clockwise till the relay released (Clicked). Now it is working great and the tub will run up to 102 degrees, which has been great on these cold winter days....getting out into the cold breeze is the only hard part.
