Digital Controls
The Raypak Digital gas heater comes with a microprocessor based thermostat control. This control allows you to set your pool or spa temperature precisely at your favorite setting just by pressing an up or down temperature control button. The Digital display gives you a constant read out of your pool water temperature. Just set it, and forget it! Truly simple.
Troubleshooting a gas heater has never been easier. The Raypak Digital has on-board diagnostic controls that let the user and the service professional know what is going on with the heater at all times. In the event that you would ever have a problem with the heater, the digital display will show where the problem is in the control circuit. It's like having a service technician built into every heater!
The Raypak Digital is compatible with most major pool control and remote systems on the market today. Any two-wire or three-wire remote can connect to the Raypak Digital and be integrated into the pool control system of your choice.
Wind Resistant
The Raypak Digital has the best outdoor design in the market today. With over 50 years in designing and building gas heaters, Raypak has put all that experience into its newest heater design. No need for fans to combat drafting problems, the Raypak Digital was designed for outdoor installations with its exclusive low profile design. It is so thoughtfully and carefully designed it actually protects itself from the things that tend to stifle ordinary pool and spa heaters: falling leaves, wind, airborne debris, rain, downdrafts, updrafts, sleet, snow, etc. In fact it is so efficiently designed it ensures uninterrupted heating performance regardless of all but the most extreme weather conditions. Built Raypak tough. Built to last.
Cabinet
One look will tell you that the Raypak Digital is different! The look is contemporary. The design is advanced. And inside and out it's engineered to last. The attractive forest green and charcoal gray panels complement the latest pool and spa equipment designs. Raypak's original "pagoda top" design will keep the heater operating even in extreme wind conditions and downdrafts.
The Raypak Digital has a polyester coated, non-corrosive cabinet that is more durable than solventborne and waterborne coated metal cabinets. Every piece of sheet metal that gets powder coated goes through a 7-stage wash system making certain the powder paint has a perfect bond. Underneath the tough and beautiful finish you will find galvanized metal that offers superior rust prevention and years of durable service.
Non-Corrosive Waterways
The Raypak Digital incorporates the latest in header design technology. Raypak's state-of-the-art engineering department utilized the latest in 3-D computer aided design to engineer the part for optimal performance. Polymer resin headers prevent rust stains from harming your pools surface giving you years of trouble-free swimming pleasure
This Raypak Digital heater has cupro-nickel fin tube heat exchangers for added protection against aggressive water chemistry. Although rare, there are certain applications, like health club spa's, where copper is just not the best choice. Cupro-nickel offers superior tolerance to bad and fluctuating water chemistry, thanks to a harder surface and thicker walled fin tube.

Will a gas heater operate at the low speed of a dual speed motor?
Reply
Probably not - Most gas heater will shut off at low GPM levels (20-40) to keep the heater cores from overheating - 20 for 200 BTUs, 40 for 400 BTUs. Depending on your pool system you might get these GPM levels at the low speed but generally these heaters must be run at the motor's high speed.

What is the difference between an Electronic and Millivolt ignition?
Reply
The basic answer is that Millivolt is the old style of ignition, using a standing pilot light. While the electronic ignition uses a spark start system like a gas grill. Electronic ignitions are more efficient in gas usage and also are better suited for high wind areas where a pilot light might get extinguished.

Our Jandy burnt up because it overheats if the automatic timer shuts off the pool pump and does not have water flow through the heater. What heater would be best choice for Florida with an automatic timer on pool?
Reply
I would suggest the Raypak series of heaters as they have an automatic water pressure switch. The water pressure switch detects when there is no flow going through the pool heater and turns the heater off. This switch ensures that the heater will not get damaged if the pump shuts off when the heater is in operation.

Is this model a LONOX heater? I live in Houston, Texas. The humidity is very high and need a heater appropriate for this climate.

Needed to get a good heater for pool to replace the old heat-exchange system that was in place when I bought our home. I installed the new heater from Inyo pools myself. I had an HVAC contractor extend our gas line to the new location for the heater and i prepared a good base for the new heater. Installation was easy and the new heater works great with my large salt pool. We purchased the cupro-nickel because it is more durable for a salt pool. Also installed a backwash valve between the heater and the salt generator to prevent salt water from backing up into the heater. Important to get heater level on the pad and make sure that you think through the process in attaching and extending PVC pool lines to and from the heater. This is not an easy plug and play and gas lines and water lines need to be lined up and installed properly. The process with Inyo Pools in purchasing the heater was easy and it was a great price.

I called and spoke to Megan. She requested pictures of issue, which were sent. Egan then facilitated a prompt delivery of the new grill. Megan was very knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with. A negative became a big positive. Great service!

(5 out of 5 stars) Good bye LoNOx
Reviewed By: Inyo Customer ()
Very simple design with straight-tube heat exchanger. Much less pressure drop than my old 250K BTU Laars unit. This unit heats the spa quickly (<30 min). Atmospheric means no blower (quiet) and no complicated ignition control. I'm finally rid of my Lo-NOx unit (Texas) and very please with the purchase so far. Raypak extends the warranty to 2-years if installed (at a single family home) by a licensed professional. 3-years if new construction.

As with most things in life, you get what you pay for. I was hesitant to get the 400k btu unit, almost went with smaller one, but glad spent a little extra. This is a beast! Heats up 8' round in-ground spa from 76 to 104 in less than an hour. Very satisfied!

(5 out of 5 stars) Super Quiet Heater
Reviewed By: Inyo Customer ()
Heater is super quiet, cant hear it over my VSP Pool Pump on High. Water heats up pretty quick, on screen incoming water temp is convenient. Installation was quick for Pool Guy, easy to reverse Headers and Electrical (come on right side), Gas is on Left. One complaint is that the P6 Connector for the Power (and really all Molex Connectors that connect to the board), the plastic clips that lock the connector on the board are extremely fragile when prying to allow you to lift the connector up and off. Ended up breaking ours, but connector still stayed snug down. As far as operation, works great. Has three modes with Individual Set Points. After you flip the power on, you can press mode button to Spa (has a set Point for maintain temp), hit mode again to Off, hit mode again to "pool" with another set point. Hit mode again to off. The diagnostics menu is also nice since it will read out Flame Strength, On-board Voltage and Error Codes so you can find a problem quickly. Didn't need this menu, but was very nice to have for self troubleshooters. Came very fast from Inyo, Shipped from Saginaw MI on a Friday, arrived on a Tuesday in Las Vegas NV. Well packed, no damage and had a "tip meter" on the side to show if it was ever jolted in transit.

(5 out of 5 stars) Raypac NG 406,000 BTU Pool Heater
Reviewed By: Lou G. from Central Pennsylvania ()
Pros: Ability to Extend the swimming season
Cons: I'm sure the gas bill but big deal someone is always going to find a way to get it.
Living in Central PA with having a pool is only a very short season...Unless you have a Raypac 406,000 BTU NG Heater to extend the season. The ordering process was easy and the delivery was fast had it to me in 4 short days and that was only because FedEx didn't have a truck with a lift gate for two days but 4 days is very short time. Heater looks great and was installed by our plumber that ran the gas line and plumbing to go between the pump and heater, I could have done the job but why bother when you have a pro onsite anyway. He made light work of the job and by 5:30pm we had the heater on with the pool water at 72 degrees in 3 hours we were swimming in 90 degree water here in Central PA the second week of May. So pleased with this purchase and wished we would have done it sooner.

Reviewed By: Thomas K. from East Brunswick, NJ ()
Pros: Quality
Cons: Size
After extensive gas pool heater research, I am glad I went with this Raypak. Every Hayward gas heater appeared to break down just after the one year warranty was up. I talked to people who have had their Raypak heater going for 10 years with proper maintenance. Also Inyo has the best price by far. I was also very pleased with their customer service.
