Frequently Asked Questions

What size pool does a 250,000 BTU heater suit?

Larger in-ground pools and pool and spa combinations. Sizing depends on surface area, temperature rise, and climate, so have a pool professional size it for your install.

Is the EC-462026 natural gas or propane?

Natural gas. Order EC-462027 for the 250K BTU propane version.

What does the EC prefix mean?

EC part numbers are Pentair's Energy Efficient TradeGrade packaging of the same heater. The unit is the MasterTemp 250.

Should I choose 250K or 400K BTU?

250K covers most medium to large pools on a normal schedule. Step to the EC-462028 at 400K for faster spa recovery or a colder climate.

Is it Low NOx compliant?
