Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the 406A rated 399,000 BTU?
The 406A chassis is rated 406,000 BTU on natural gas. On propane the certified input is 399,000 BTU. It is the same heater size, not a smaller model.
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 009227 costs less and performs the same.
What does P-R406A-EP-X mean?
Raypak's model code. P is pool, R406A is the chassis, E is electronic ignition, P is propane, and X denotes the cupro-nickel heat exchanger.
Why does the orifice number matter?
The orifice sets gas flow for your altitude. A #58 is the configuration for roughly sea level to 2,000 ft. Higher installations need a different orifice.
What size pool does this suit?
Large 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 matters especially at this output, since an undersized supply will starve the heater.
