Will a gas heater operate at the low speed of a dual speed motor?
Reply
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 is the difference between an Electronic and Millivolt ignition?
Reply
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 the delivery service place the unit in a attached garage? This is a new home with a concrete driveway from the curb to the garage.

Hello- Unfortunately, truck line deliveries are delivered curbside. You can reach out to the trucking company to see if they would be able to help you further, but it's not guaranteed and there may be an extra charge for it that would be your responsibility.

I have a 22,000 gal in ground salt water pool. Would this unit adequately heat the pool and would the cupro-nickel HE be recommended for this application? This unit would be replacing an existing raypak unit of the same size. Thank you.

For that pool size, I would not recommend anything smaller than the 336,000 BTU model and yes, if you have a salt system you need the unit with the cupro-nickel heat exchanger.

Our pool is piped with 1-1/2 pvc I notices that this heater has 2 " connections, can this be reduced without losing performance?
Reply
Hi, Bob. The plumbing can be reduced to 1-1/2" or increased to 2" to the unit without affecting performance.

is there an energy efficiency rating or something similar.
Thanks.

Hi. All Raypak gas pool heaters are CSA-certified to the ANSI Z21.56/CSA 4.7 standard. The efficiency rating is not published on any of the Raypak documents.

When I look at the warranty it states that it needs to be installed by a licensed installer. I am fully competent to install this heater as good or better than a pool installer. Will they void the warranty if I install this myself?
Reply
Hi, DW. Your warranty will not be voided, however, installation errors or failures are not covered.

I have a 40k gallon salt water pool but I only use the heater to warm up the spa which is I’m guessing 8k gallons by looking at it with this heater be sufficient in heating the spa? Never had a urge to heat the entire pool.

Hi, David. This size heater will be sufficient to heat an 8,000 gallon spa.

I have a 20,000 gallon above ground pool. Is this the recommended heater for a pool of that size?
Reply
Yes, the Raypak Heater 206,000 BTU's NG ELE W/ Cupro-Nickel Heat Exchanger should be sufficient to heat your pool, however, there are a number of factors that would help determine that. We would suggest reading our article "Sizing Your Pool Heater".

Does this heater come with the plumbing on the left when facing the front of the heater? I
Reply
This heater comes with the plumbing to the right. You can take it apart and rotate the heat exchanger to make the plumbing on the left.
