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 is A.S.M.E. ?

A.S.M.E., stands for American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This group has laid out certain design criteria that would protect it’s industry and insures that products meets all ASME standards. Some states or counties may require the use of A.S.M.E. heat exchangers usedin pool heaters. The ASME copper finned tubes are thicker than the standard copper finned tubes used on residential pool heaters.

What's the difference between this model and the Raypak 406 NG ele - PR 406AEN PN 009219? Also, how fast could either one of the models ship?
Thanks

Hi, David. The ASME units have cast iron headers which are used for commercial swimming pool and spa uses. The non-ASME units like p/n 009219 have polymer headers and those units are for residential swimming pool and spa uses. Both units are in stock and will ship after 24hrs of receiving the order.
