Frequently Asked Questions
Why does elevation matter on a pool heater?
Air is thinner at altitude, so a heater set up for sea level runs rich and loses output. High altitude models are configured at the factory for the thinner air, which is why this one is specified for 3,000 to 5,000 feet.
What if my property is below 3,000 feet?
Order the 0 to 2,000 ft version, sold as 009225 in the same 266K propane size. Installing a high altitude unit at low elevation is the same mismatch in reverse.
What does electronic ignition change?
There is no standing pilot flame burning between cycles. It lights on demand, which saves gas and removes the relight step after a windy day or a gas interruption.
What size pool does 266,000 BTU suit?
Mid-size to 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.
What does P-R266A-EP-C mean?
It is Raypak's model code. P is pool, R266A is the 266,000 BTU chassis, E is electronic ignition, P is propane, and C is the copper heat exchanger.
Does it need professional installation?
Yes. Propane sizing, venting, electrical, and local code make this a licensed installer job, and altitude configuration is another reason not to improvise.
