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.

Bob, In The RayPak MV Owners Manual on page 43, there's a few things that can cause the issue you're having. They've also provided some solutions that you can try to see if that will fix your issue.

I just purchased a Raypak Millivolt heater from you to replace my old Millivolt heater. I have a separate Jandy control system to turn on/off the heater for pool and spa modes. I don't see a wiring diagram for the Millivolt in the O&M manual as to how a Jandy system would be inter-connected. Can you point me in the right direction?

Hi Eric, MV units can not be controlled or wired to an external controller

Hi Roger, The water connection can be reversed in the field. The reversal and installation has to be done by a pool professional or an authorized Raypak installer or else the warranty will be voided.

what size of pipe is the natural gas connection on the Raypak 266000 BTU ng mv PR266AMN? Do you provide nipples and unions for the gas connection?

You will have to check with your gas installer. It will depend on the run from the meter to the unit. We do not provide any hardware for the gas connections.

I have a RP2100, which I believe is the 266 KBTU model, but it only has 1/2" line. This one appears to require a 3/4". Is that right? Maybe I have enough pressure to make up the smaller diameter? Or am I missing something?
Reply
Hi, RS. The gas line connection to the unit needs to be 3/4", that does not pertain to the actual pipe size.

What is the difference between the Millivolt and the natural heater?

Hi, Terry. Millivolt is a type of pilot that is constantly lit powering the unit. Natural gas refers to the type of gas used to operate the unit. Millivolt units are available in natural gas and propane. For more info, check out the Differences in Swimming Pool Heaters Blog.

Are there any suggested time limits for running the heater on it’s highest heat setting. I’m running it on high for about four hours then turn it down to the medium range. Will this cause any problems? Thanks for a great product.

Hi, Jeffrey. There are no issues with operating the heater at intermittent temperatures.
