Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose cupro-nickel over copper?
Cupro-nickel resists corrosion far better in saltwater pools, low pH water, and high flow installations. On balanced chlorinated water, the copper version 009216 costs less and performs the same.
Do I need cupro-nickel for a saltwater pool?
It is strongly recommended. Salt accelerates corrosion of copper, and a heat exchanger replacement costs a significant fraction of a new heater.
What size pool does 206,000 BTU suit?
Smaller in-ground pools and spas, roughly up to 20,000 to 25,000 gallons in a warm climate. Size down in cooler climates or on an exposed pool with no cover.
Is it natural gas or propane?
Natural gas, rated the full 206,000 BTU. The propane version of this chassis derates to 199,500 BTU.
What are the larger options?
The 014939 is 266K and the 014940 is 336K, both cupro-nickel natural gas in the same series.
Does it need professional installation?
Yes. Gas sizing, venting, electrical, and local code make this a licensed installer job.
