I would like to replace my current heater with this unit. It is supplied with propane but I will have Nat Gas next year. What is the parts cost to convert? Also, this will replace a Ray Pak P-R405A. Is the wiring basically the same?

The Conversion kit for the 406 unit is only available for the milivolt unit and not the electronic ignition unit, you may view the conversion kit here http://www.inyopools.com/pool_parts_raypak_atmospheric_heaters.aspx (last part on the page - $125.99) This link has an explanation on the differences of electronic ignition and milivolt ignition http://www.inyopools.com/poolanswers_heaters.aspx#electonic_millivolt_ignition and if you would like to purchase the entire heater you may do so here http://www.inyopools.com/heaters_rpseries.aspx Yes this would replace the P-R405A and if you went with the electronic ignition version the wiring would be relatively the same, however if you went with the milivolt ignition there would be not wiring involved.

I've currently Zodiac 325 Btu Propane Swimming Pool heater Indoor. Will this replace the current I've have.

This would replace it and then some. You would get an extra 81000 BTUs. I would suggest checking with your propane gas company to make sure the line you have would be enough to supply the greater requirements of the larger BTU heater.

Thank you for your previous answer. So the temp of spa will not be able to be altered from the Aquapod remote if I understand correctly?

Is this the professional series? and how does it compare to the R408A?
Reply
Hi Debbie, We do not carry the Professional Series. They're definitely better designed and built units but will heat the pool the same as the Residential units.

The gas on the left of the and the inlet- outlet on the right.I see one that is millivolt and one electronic...wanting to stay with something that my pool man can just slide in place and hook up. I have an Aqualink RS4 panel inside my house to control.

how much propane does this 406 use my pool is 16x40 is the 406 the right btu
Reply
Hello Danny, Depending on how much you run it is going to depend on cost, a lot of people turn there heater off when they aren't using the pool. Run time will determined how much Propane you will use. If you are wanting to have a propane line put in that is a quote needing to be done by a Gas contractor.

I have an Aqualink control for my pool and spay. It is connected to a temperature sensor in the return line. If I hook up the remote wires to this unit will I be able to set the temps for pool and spa from the aqualink? It looks like the hayward will do this but I cant see any definitive answer on this heater.
Reply
Hi Jeffery, Yes you can set the temp. within the Aqualink for your Raypak heater to kick on and off.

Hello, as long as you are at the height you mentioned, you would be fine going with the Raypak Heater 406000 BTU LP ELE. However, if your elevation is actually great than 609.6 meters, you will have to go with a high altitude heater.

Good day, the options to control the equipment would be an automation system. It would be best if you could email us what items you have at the equipment pad and we will be able to recommend a system.

Hi Keith, the units with the cupro-nickel heat exchangers are going to be more durable and corrosion-resistant to the salts in the pool water.
