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.
Should I choose the R404A or the R264A?
Go with the R404A for a large pool, a spa you want hot fast, or a cold climate. The R264A, sold as 018038 in propane, is the more economical pick for a typical residential pool.
Is the 018039 propane or natural gas?
Liquid propane. Fuel is set by model.
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.
