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.

The Raypak 2100 unit I currently have, has a "pool" and a "spa" switch. Is this the same type of deal on Raypak model 010104, but digital? Can you heat both together, or only separately, or both?
Reply
Yes, this heater will do the same job as your existing heater. Instead of two dials for spa and pool, the digital board will control both. You can set one temperature for the spa and one for the pool. You can also keep both bodies at the same temperature.

I'm looking for a pool heater and I see one at kijiji but is already 4 years old is it worth to buy it?
Reply
Mario, I'm not sure what kind of Heater you saw at Kijiji and what price but with it being 4 years old it's not coming with any warranty, so that's a call only you can make.

I have a spa only and a raypak spa/pool unit. Can I heat the spa when it is on the pool mode and will the spa heat any faster on the pool mode vs. the spa mode?
Reply
Hi, Since you only have a spa it does not matter what mode it's in. The heater will not heat faster in a specific mode. The Pool/Spa mode is for applications that has a pool/spa and wants each body of water heated to a different temperature.

Just want to confirm that this is a natural gas, electronic spark ignition heater with the cupro nickel heat exchanger.

Hi Jim, This unit is a natural gas, electronic ignition with a cupro-nickel heat exchanger.

HI Bernie, Please refer to the Raypak RP2100 Installation and Instruction Manual for all installation requirement. You will also need to contact your gas company and a authorized Raypak installer for installation recommendations.

Is there any harm in over sizing your heater to your pool size?
Reply
Hi, Bob. No there is no harm in oversizing the hearer on your pool. The larger the unit, the faster it will heat your pool, the less it will run. That translates into energy savings for you.

Do you have a draft hood kit available for the R336A so i can install it indoors. If not, what about using the power vent kit and what is the cost for that?
Reply
The item you will need will be the Indoor Stack Kit, R336A, R367A - 009840 our part number 6238-122

what is the difference on Raypak Heater 336,000 BTU's NG ELE W/ Cupro-Nickel Heat Exchanger and Raypak Heater 336 BTU NG ELE
Reply
Cupro-nickel is an alloy of copper that contains nickel and other strengthening elements. Because of this, it is highly resistant to corrosion in salt water. Pool heaters with a cupro-nickel heat exchanger are recommended for customers with a salt pool. Using one with a cupro-nickel heat exchanger will extend the life of your heater.

Hi, Kyle. The cupro-nickel exchanger can still outlast the copper exchanger because of the material.

does this have the protek shield on it. I did not see it listed in the features.

Hello, this model series does not have the Protek shield. You can however add a zinc sacrificial anode that would serve the same purpose.

So we have a 20 by 40ft , about 2/3 from 4 to 6ft, and one third 8ft deep. It is chlorine system, but looking to convert to salt very soon.
We are looking to install a natural gas heater. Considering a Raypack. What size and model would you recommend.

Hello Armando, based on the information we would recommend either a 336-406 unit. We would also recommend you check with the installer or gas company to insure that your feed would be able to meet the demand needed by these units.

I have an inground pool in Michigan that is 20 x 38 x 6. I figure 34,200 gallons. I am looking at a Raypack "P-R366A-EN-X-#51. cupro nickle. Would this be a correct heater?
Reply
Hi Mark, your pool has 760 square feet of surface area so, per our article on How to Select an Inground Pool Heater, you can expect about a 1.2 degree per hour temperature rise with the 336,000 BTU heater. This might be adequate if you are looking to extend your pool season a bit. Be sure to put a solar cover on it at night and when the heater is not operating to help keep the heat from escaping in the cool Midwestern evenings.
