We are looking to replace our 17 year old Raypak 2100 natural gas pool heater, model PR185A. What model would be the closest replacement? Are there any other parts to order for installation?
Hi, Dawn. The Raypak 206A will be the closest replacement for P-R185A.
Would this work for an above ground 24 ft round ?
Hello, yes, you can use this on your above ground pool.
How long for delivery?
These have an average lead time of approximately 2-5 business days for delivery.
Can the intake and output be on the left side
Yes, those can be moved to the opposite side.
We have a 16x32 above ground pool (rectangle). It is 4 feet deep and then drops to 5 feet deep a little over half way. Would this be the correct size heater to purchase?
Hi, Bridget. This 206K BTU can be used to heat your pool. If you would like to get more than a 1-degree temperature increase an hour, you can a larger BTU unit.
Is their a cover for the round hole in the top of the heater?
Hello Chester - It's not shown in the picture but the cover for that hole is included with the PR206AEN.
how far does the pool heater have to be from the house - huntington ny

I need some Idea how to remove my existing pool heater (pr 2100) for replacement
Mark, This is a natural gas heater. I would recommend having your gas company come out to remove the heater.
can I replace my rp 2100 with this unit
Hi, Mark. This unit will replace you an older RP2100 unit that has a similar BTU and gas source.
Does the unit come with the "Pagoda" top or is that sold separately?
Hi, Alana. If you're referring to the square cover it does but the Indoor Stack Top - 009838 is sold separately.
I have a 30'x12' inground pool. The pool goes from 3-6ft in depth. Currently I use a Natural Gas 181,000 BTU Pool heater. The product is a Raypak RP 2100 Mullivolt Plus. I am trying to order a new heater but do not want to change the size of the gas pipe or water connections. Is this the best solution for that? Is this the most efficient size?
Hi, Carlo. Yes, replacing your current RP2100 with a new RP2100 would minimize having to change plumbing and gas pipe connections. This is an electronic unit, not a millivolt so you would have to run power to this unit but is the smallest BTU unit available. The p/n for the millivolt unit is 009192.
My pool filter and pump motor system is installed inside my garage. Can your type of gas heater be installed indoors and vented or must it be installed outside? Thanks, Bill

I have never ordered something like this online. Have you ever delivered one of these units to a customer and for some slim chance this heater did not work or a problem with this unit not working. Just curious what the procedure would be if this happen. I know the chance of this happening is minimal. I'm going to be ordering soon and would like to know what to expect in case there was a problem. Thank you and have a great day.

Would this work for an above ground 30 ft round?

I am replacing my 17 year old Raypak 2100. will my old venting hood work on a Raypak 206 BTU?
Hello Dave, the venting kit should crossover to the new heater. Raypak vent kits have not changed in quite a while.
My house is at 5,600 feet elevation. Spa will be 550 gallons in-ground plaster/concrete. Natural gas-240VAC. No jets. Does heater sense pressure and temperature? What pump should I get to match with this heater?
This heater does have a water pressure switch and has a thermostat, so it does sense both water flow and temperature. Since your house is at 5,600 you would need a Raypak High Elevation Heater. The 206,000 BTU Raypak heater has a minimum flow rating of 20 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) and a max flow rating of 120 GPM's. Based on these flow ratings any pump from 1/2 HP to 2 HP would work fine with this heater.
Please tell me what differences this model has in comparison to the Raypak 180 K BTU CuPru Nickel heater.
Hello LC - This heater has a copper heat exchanger and the 180K BTU has a cupro-nickel heat exchanger. The cupro-nickel is a more durable material. That is the only significant difference between the two models.
I am replacing an old Raypak 206k BTU heater and I need to know if this will fit on my concrete pad. Do you have the dimensions of the heater cabinet?
For the Raypak 206 BTU RP2100 Series the cabinet measures are as follows:Width - 20 inches, Depth - 28inches, Height - 38 inches.Any fuirther techinical data be found in the Raypak Specifications Guide
What is the difference between an Electronic and Millivolt ignition?
The basic answer is that Millivolt is the old style of ignition, using a standing pilot light. While the electronic ignition uses a spark start system like a gas grill. Electronic ignitions are more efficient in gas usage and also are better suited for high wind areas where a pilot light might get extinguished.
Will a gas heater operate at the low speed of a dual speed motor?
Probably not - Most gas heater will shut off at low GPM levels (20-40) to keep the heater cores from overheating - 20 for 200 BTUs, 40 for 400 BTUs. Depending on your pool system you might get these GPM levels at the low speed but generally these heaters must be run at the motor's high speed.
What are the dimmensions of this heater?
This heater is 20 inches wide X 28 inches deep and 40 inches tall.

(5 out of 5 stars) Raypak pool heater
Reviewed By: Mark B. from Indianapolis, IN ()
I've had my pool for 16 years. My first heater was a Hayward and lasted only 4 years. I was glad to see that my pool company replaced it with a different brand. It was a Raypak. The performance was better than the previous one, and after six years, the heating element was replaced, which was less than 1/2 of the original cost of the unit. The heater lasted another six years, then basically disintegrated. This spring, I began shopping on the internet and found that INYOpools was amongst the lowest pricing that I could find for a replacement, and the shipping costs from Florida saved me quite a bit of money being that I live in the midwest. I installed the heater myself with no problems. the only issue was that my previous heater had a cast iron exchanger with stainless tubes and this new one is poly carbonate, so you can use standard 2" pvc to connect to it. I love the digital controls over the analog ones, (that didn't give you a "marked" temperature control at the source). I have absolutely no regrets that I purchased this heater from INYO. I would certainly do it again 12 years from now. By the way, I ordered the unit on a Saturday and had it at my door the following Wednesday, with no expedited delivery service.

(5 out of 5 stars) Fast Heating Swimming Pool Heater
Reviewed By: Marshall from Massachusetts ()
Pros: Heats more quickly than older model.
Cons: Installation more difficult than expected.
When finally installed it works very well and heats a 25,000 gallon pool quickly. I bought this unit to replace the equivalent model from years ago, and found the gas line and water lines were different so the installation was not so easy. Had to find a way to go from 1.5 inch copper to 2.0 inch PVC -- not so easy with a pressure fitting.

(5 out of 5 stars) never go without a heater again...
Reviewed By: Michael C. from Shakopee, MN ()
Pros: quiet, automatic, AWESOME
Cons: none
It works like a charm. My pool is 86°. I have had a permanent smile on my face since I hooked it up. The kids and I were in the pool until 10:45 pm last night - a feat that would not have happened without the heater. It's quiet, automatic, and AWESOME! I live in Minnesota. Now, my pool is opened sooner and we'll see how late in the year we can go...I'm thinking Halloween! I'll never not have a heater.

(5 out of 5 stars) Powerful spa heater
Reviewed By: Mitchell L. from Marietta, GA ()
Pros: Powerful and works as described
Cons: PC board is fragile
Well made and easy to install. Heats to spa temp quickly. On board controls are nice feature but should come with remote already installed since nobody's spa is right next to a heater. Also I blew out the pc control board when connecting the wrong ac leads. Should have a fail-safe feature preventing damage from such a mistake
