Will a gas heater operate at the low speed of a dual speed motor?
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/16/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

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

A  Answered on 10/10/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

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?

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?

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?
 Reply

A  Answered on 3/30/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

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.
