Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Raypak Avia?
Avia is Raypak's connected heater line. The main difference from their conventional models is built-in WiFi, so you set and monitor water temperature from your phone rather than at the pad.
Is a copper heat exchanger right for my pool?
Copper is the standard choice and works well on balanced, chlorinated water. If you run a saltwater pool or your pH swings low, ask us about a cupro-nickel version instead, since copper corrodes faster in those conditions.
Is the 018038 propane or natural gas?
Liquid propane. Order 018039 for the 400K BTU propane Avia, or ask about the natural gas R264A.
What size pool does 264,000 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.
Do I need a hub for the WiFi?
The connectivity is built into the heater. You will need WiFi coverage that reaches the equipment pad.
Does it need professional installation?
Yes. Propane sizing, venting, electrical, and local code make this a licensed installer job.
