The Raypak P-R336A-EP-X is a professional-grade heating solution engineered for large residential pools and high-volume spas where natural gas is unavailable. This 336,000 BTU liquid propane unit is upgraded with a high-performance Cupro-Nickel heat exchanger, providing the industry's best defense against the corrosive effects of salt-chlorine systems, high bather loads, and aggressive water chemistry.

The 014952 model is the premier choice for luxury off-grid estates and rural properties, offering rapid heat-up times and maximum internal protection for a longer service life.

Features

Ultra-Durable Cupro-Nickel Heat Exchanger: Constructed from a premium copper-nickel alloy, this heat exchanger is significantly more resistant to erosion and corrosion than standard copper. It is specifically designed to handle the high flow rates and chemical demands of modern saltwater pools.

Rapid Propane Heating Performance: Delivering 336,000 BTUs of power, this heater provides the thermal "lift" necessary to warm large inground pools quickly. It is ideal for homeowners who want to heat a large pool for the weekend or maintain a large attached spa at high temperatures in cooler climates.

Microprocessor-Controlled Thermostat: The intuitive digital display allows you to set your pool and spa temperatures independently to within one degree. The system also features constant self-diagnostics to alert you to any operational issues, ensuring your heater runs at peak efficiency.

Fuel-Efficient Electronic Ignition: Features a robust "spark-to-pilot" ignition system that only lights when there is a call for heat. For propane users, this eliminates the fuel waste of a standing pilot light and prevents common pilot blow-outs in windy, rural conditions.

PolyFlo Integrated Bypass: Raypak’s patented bypass design balances the water flow through the heat exchanger automatically. This prevents condensation and scale buildup, protecting the heater's internal components from premature wear and maintaining 82% thermal efficiency.

ProTek Shield Technology: Includes a specialized, replaceable module designed to protect the heat exchanger from the damaging effects of galvanic corrosion (electrolysis), a critical feature for extending the life of the unit in salt-water environments.

Non-Corrosive Cabinet Construction: The unit is housed in a polyester-coated, galvanized steel cabinet built to resist rust and UV fading. Its wind-resistant design ensures the burner stays functional even in exposed or harsh outdoor environments.

Whether upgrading your existing system or adding a new pool or spa to your home, the Raypak Digital Gas Pool and Spa Heater offers you flexible installation solutions.

Bonus: The self-adjusting burner compensates for gas pressure fluctuations, ensuring that the heater will always burn clean and safe.

What will it cost to heat your pool?

Fuel and electricity prices vary a lot by region, so put in your own rate from your last bill and get a number that's actually yours.

1 · Your pool
Water now 68°F
Temperature you want 84°F

You need to raise the water 16 degrees

2 · Your heater & rate
Set at the factory — you buy the version matching the fuel you have.
Figured at 82% efficiency, the rating on Raypak Digital heaters.
Use the all-in rate from your gas bill, including delivery charges.

And what about month to month?

Warming the pool up is a one-off. Most of what you'll actually spend is holding that temperature — replacing the heat your pool loses to the air, day and night.

Keeping a solar cover on saves roughly $0.00 a month here — most of a heated pool's heat leaves by evaporation off an open surface, so a cover is the cheapest thing you can do to bring this figure down.

Warm-up figures are the physics with no heat loss. Your pool loses heat to evaporation, wind and cool air the whole time the heater runs, so those numbers are a floor, not a forecast. The real-world line adds a typical 25–50%.

Monthly figures are an estimate, and a rough one. They assume you hold your target around the clock for 30 days. Real heat loss swings a long way with wind, humidity and how much sun your pool gets — an exposed, windy yard can run well above these numbers and a sheltered sunny one below. Treat them as a ballpark for comparing options, not a quote.

Warm-up uses gallons × 8.34 × degrees of rise. Monthly uses an estimated heat loss across your pool's surface area against the temperature difference with the air, at 82% thermal efficiency for gas. Pool presets assume 4 ft of water in a 52" wall and 3.5 ft in a 48" wall. Estimates only. Not sure of your pool volume or which heater fits? Get in touch.
