Will a gas heater operate at the low speed of a dual speed motor?
Reply
AAnswered 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 systemyou might get these GPM levels at the low speed butgenerallythese heaters must be run at themotor's high speed.

What is the difference between an Electronic and Millivolt ignition?
Reply
AAnswered 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.

Can I use this Raypak heater (266,000 BTU's) with my existing 3/4" gas line.I am replacing my old Teledyne Laars 175,000 BTU heater that has worked well with 3/4" gas line.
Reply
AAnswered on 5/16/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.
Hi Ella, As long as the distance of gas line from your gas valve to the heater did not exceed 15' than a 3/4" gas line would be fine for the Raypak 266K BTU. If your distance is longer than 15' then email me back with the details and I can make a reccomendation.

The heater does come with a gas valve which is inside the heater, however the regulator that is within the gas line is not supplied with the heater that would be supplied by the gas company.

I purchased a Raypak 266000 NG ELE from you on 7/14/15 (installed 10/15). It is dripping water out of the tubing above the burners, saturating the unit with salt water. Is less than 2 years the life expectancy of this unit?Tom

Usually, the units last longer. These are both packaged and stocked directly from Raypakwho is one of the leading manufacturers of pool heaters. There are a number of variables that can cause these parts to go bad including chemistry that was not balanced.

Hello, We are installing an inground hot tub. The pool installer plans to use this heater. I will have a new gas service installed just for the heater. My question is, the drawings they supplied show this unit mounted INSIDE my new pump house. Ive never seen a pool heater mounted inside, they say that's the only way they have ever installed them. Ideas?

My current heater (Jandy Lxi 400k BTU) burned out the heater box after 9 yrs. The original install has only a 1.25 in gas supply pipe in a 130-140 ft run. Is that too small for a 400k BTU unit? Is there a problem with having too big a heater for the gas available?What size will work?Thanks,David - Dallas

Want to make certain this is the correct unit to replace an old Raypak P-R265B for a salt water pool. From the Raypak document archives, looks like the current unit is 265k BTU and that the 266K would be a suitable replacement. Just want to make sure before placing the order.

Looking to replace my 13 year old Raypak 288 BTU natural gas heater. The pool is salt water. Looks like the replacement might be the P-R266A EN X (014939). Water continually runs through our heater regardless of if the pool is on or off. The dynode is on the inlet side of the water heater. Just wanted to confirm that the 266 BTU is the appropriate size before I place the order because we can't find the 288. Thank you!
Reply
AAnswered on 6/21/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Danny R.
If it was me I would jump up to the 336 BTU. It will just heat your swimming pool faster then your current 288 BTU. If you jump down to a 266 BTU it will heat your pool slower. I do not know the full story. Maybe you are already happy with the way your heater was performing and are ok with a drop in BTU.
