Frequently Asked Questions
What is a millivolt heater?
A standing pilot flame heats a thermocouple, which generates the small voltage that operates the gas valve. The heater needs no household power at all, which is the whole point of the design.
Why choose millivolt over electronic ignition?
Two reasons. It keeps working through a power outage, and it can go on a remote pad with no electrical run, which saves the cost of trenching power out to the equipment. The tradeoff is that the pilot burns gas continuously.
What is the downside?
The standing pilot uses gas around the clock, and it can blow out in high wind, needing a relight. Electronic ignition models like the 009225 avoid both.
Is the 009202 propane or natural gas?
Liquid propane. Order 009193 for the 266K natural gas millivolt version.
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.
Does it need professional installation?
Yes. Propane sizing, venting, and local code make this a licensed installer job even without the electrical work.
