Frequently Asked Questions
What does P-R266A-EN-C mean?
Raypak's model code. P is pool, R266A is the 266,000 BTU chassis, E is electronic ignition, N is natural gas, and C is the copper heat exchanger.
Why does the orifice number matter?
The orifice sets gas flow for your altitude. A #50 is the 0 to 2,000 ft configuration. Install it higher and the heater runs rich, loses output, and can fault. Ask us if your site is above 2,000 feet.
Electronic ignition or millivolt, which should I pick?
Electronic ignition lights on demand and saves the gas a standing pilot burns continuously, but it needs electrical power. Millivolt models like the 009193 run without electricity, which suits remote pads and areas with frequent outages.
What size pool does 266,000 BTU suit?
Mid-size 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 a copper heat exchanger right for my water?
Copper is standard and works well on balanced, chlorinated water. On a saltwater pool or where pH swings low, the cupro-nickel version is the longer lasting choice.
Does it need professional installation?
Yes. Gas sizing, venting, electrical, and local code make this a licensed installer job.
