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.

what size heater do I need for an in ground pool size 36x18 from 3 feet to 8 feet

Hi, A 206,000 BTU unit will work for your pool, however it will just take a longer time. The Raypak Heater 406000 BTU NG MV unit will heater faster so that size will be better than the Raypak Pool Heater 206000 BTU NG MV unit.

Will this heater work on an above ground pool with 22,000 gallons of water?

Yes this would be a good choice for a 22,000 gallon above ground pool, you would just need to get with your gas company to see what size gas line you would need to run.

how do you wire this furnace, what will i need, i can do basic wiring, replacing another heater with electricity there.

Paul, The Raypack Pool Heater model 009192 is a millivolt heater. The advantage of using millivolt ignition is that no electrical power needs to be supplied to the heater. The heater can therefore be located in areas where no electrical service is readily at hand, or where it would be prohibitively expensive to provide electric service.

You would be able to go with the 266,000 BTU heater as long as the run of gas line between the heater and gas valve did not exceed 15'.

Hi Dennis, We would suggest the 206,000 Raypak heater here on this page as it is the largest BTU heater that can handle a 1" line at 55'. Also we really like the Raypak line as they have been very high quality heaters for us.

I am replacing a teledyne laars model epg125 125,000 input natural gas millivolt it is below the hot tub and everything is inside. will this heater work? also do I need to do anything with the gas valve and does it need a pressure control.

Bob- You can use this heater, but you will need to call your gas company to make sure that your gas line can supply the 206,000 BTU's that this heater requires and as well as verify that you have the right sized tubing to handle that change in gas. If this is for indoor installation you will also need to make sure it has sufficient ventilation. The indoor installation will require an indoor stack kit. You can refer to the owner's manual for gas line specifications and requirements as well by clicking here.

What does the code SNS mean?
Reply
The error code SNS on a Raypak heater means the temperature sensor is out of acceptable range. We recently posted an article on the Various Raypak Error Codes and the Possible solutions for the SNS error based on this article are: 1. Water temperature is below 36F or above 110F. If the two thermistors are more than 2 degrees apart, the SNS code will appear. 3. Loose or corroded connection at P1. 4. If the sensor is not mounted all the way into the JACO fitting on the header, it may give a false reading.

How many years could I expect this heater to last Raypac 206AMN nat gas

Good morning Loren, There is not really a set life expectancy. If the heater is installed right meaning there is a bypass for plumbing and you cover it when not in use. You will prolong the life. It's like anything else in life. If you take care of it. It will take care of you.
