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 009225 costs less and performs the same.
What does P-R266A-EP-X mean?
Raypak's model code. P is pool, R266A is the 266,000 BTU chassis, E is electronic ignition, P is propane, and X denotes the cupro-nickel heat exchanger.
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 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.
Should I step up to 336K or 399K?
The 014952 is 336K and the 014953 is 399K, both cupro-nickel propane. Go larger for a bigger pool, faster spa recovery, or a colder climate.
Does it need professional installation?
Yes. Propane sizing, venting, electrical, and local code make this a licensed installer job.
