Features:

  • PolyTuf Textured Powder Coating - The Raypak gas heater has a polyester-coated, non-corrosive cabinet that is more durable than solventborne- and waterborne-coated metal cabinets. Every piece of sheet metal goes through a 7-stage wash system, making certain the powder paint has a perfect bond. Underneath the tough, yet beautiful finish you will find galvanized metal that offers superior rust prevention and years of durable service.
  • Wind-Resistant Design - No need for fans to combat drafting problems under normal conditions. This heater is designed to draft naturally in outdoor installations with its exclusive low-profile design. It is so thoughtfully and carefully designed, it actually protects itself from the things that tend to stifle ordinary pool and spa heaters. It delivers uninterrupted heating performance regardless of falling leaves, wind, airborne debris, rain, downdrafts, updrafts, sleet, snow, etc.
  • Control Options - These units are available with two different control designs to meet your requirement. They are available with digital electronic ignition, or as a millivolt design. The digital system (pictured) requires external power (120VAC or 240VAC) and generates a pilot only when there is a call for heat. It provides simple setup and easy programming, as well as easy-to-understand diagnostics and simple connections to remote controls. The millivolt ignition system does not require external power. It generates its' own current internally, with a small thermocouple driven by the constant pilot.
  • Polymer Headers - Polymer headers prevent rust stains from harming your pool’s surface, giving you years of trouble-free swimming pleasure.
  • All-Copper-Fin-Tube Heat Exchanger - The fin tubes of the heat exchanger are each made from a single piece of extruded copper. This integral-fin design allows maximum heat transfer to be attained and maintained.
  • Stainless Steel Tube Sheet - Stainless steel tube sheets are used on all Raypak heaters with the polymer headers. This allows for a completely nonferrous waterway, leaving your pool truly rust-free.
  • CPVC 2" Water Connections - Standard with every Raypak is a set of 2" slip-fit CPVC water connections to make your installation secure and effortless.
  • Condensation Protection - The Unitherm Governor inside the header helps reduce condensation from low inlet water temperatures. It automatically regulates the water flow to help keep the water temperature in the heat exchanger above 105°F. Both water temperature and water flow rate are controlled to eliminate condensation, sooting, and scale build-up that can shorten heater life.
  • High Flow Rates - The Raypak gas heater comes with an automatic bypass built into the header. You'll find that the heater is capable of handling water flow at a rate up to 125 GPM.
  • Burner Tray - Every burner tray is built to last, from the stainless steel burners to the aluminized metal used in the heat sensitive areas. Innovative design allows for the easy removal of the tray and burners for servicing.
  • Fire Tile - A ceramic fiber combustion box keeps your heater running efficiently while keeping the outside jacket cool. By using this space-age material the heater won't retain residual heat after it is turned off, allowing it to be installed without the use of costly metal heat sinks.
  • Fuel-Efficient - Energy-smart Raypak heaters consistently achieve the highest efficiency ratings. They exceed all federal and state standards.
  • Manufactured under Patent No. 3,623,458.
  • Available for natural gas or propane.

We purchased the repack natural gas 266,000 BTU inground pool heater last spring. It worked very well for the first 90 days or so. After this point in time it started leaking and causing problems. We immediately got in touch with our installer took it apart and determined that the heat exchanger working. He submitted a warranty claim to repack however they denied our warranty claim saying that our water may have been out of balance. To be clear, they never tested our water and it was perfect and balance. I am totally disappointed with this. We ended up having to purchase a new heat exchanger at full price and have it installed once again. This has been extreme for customer service and I would ask that if you buy one of these heaters you expect that you really do not have a warranty. The US manufacture got in touch with us once by email and pass it on to the Canadian arm. After repeated attempts to get in contact with the Canadian arm, we gave up as they would not return emails .

Do not buy a Raypak heater, bought one in early August 2021, leaked after the first day, couldn't return it without Rheem authorizing a return. Rheem's warranty department would not allow a return, deemed that the water chemistry made it leak from just one day of use (Chl 6.0ppm, PH 6.4ppm, ALK - 100ppm). Very arrogant salesman named Jason from Rheem with 30's years of no customer service said no warranty due to water chemistry, without even seeing the report, said that the Protek shield was showing bad water chemistry, once again from day one! This heater leaked everywhere, we were losing 6 inches of water per day with it hooked up. This heater was obviously not constructed properly but Rheem would not take ownership of bad workmanship, costing me almost double to get this heater working now. DO NOT BUY RAYPAK - NO WARRANTY! NO CUSTOMER SERVICE!
