What size natural gas line should be used on a Raypak 406,000 BTU heater?
Reply
The 406,000 uses a minimum of 1" natural gas line and this would be if your run of pipe is 20 feet or less. If your run of gas pipe is 21' - 95' you would require 1 1/4" pipe and if your run is between 96' and 215' you would require 1 1/2" gas pipe.

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 or how many BTU would a 50 k gallons would require?

Hi, Ricardo. Heaters are sized based on the surface area of the pool. You can use our The BTU Size of your Swimming Pool Heater Chart to determine what size heater you'll need once you've calculated the surface area of your pool.

Thinking of replacing model P-R406A-EP-C Which uses propane. Is this the correct model to buy and is buying in spring better since the pool is closed for season.

Will this integrate with Jandy Aqualink system to turn on/off, set temp, etc.?
Reply
It will as long as you have a sensor in your pool line to tell the Aqualink what the water temperature is. You would need to set the heater up for remote operation and set the heater at the highest temperature that you want it to go to. Then your Aqualink will be able to turn it on or off as it hits the desired temperature when you wire it to the heater per the Raypak installation manual.
