The Raypak P-R336A-MN-C delivers a robust 336,000 BTU output using a classic Millivolt ignition system. Because it utilizes a standing pilot light and thermopile to generate its own small electrical current, this heater requires absolutely no external electricity to operate. It is the ideal choice for remote equipment pads, areas prone to power outages, or older pool setups where running new electrical conduit is impractical.

The 009194 model provides the rapid heat-up times needed for large residential pools while retaining the simple, mechanical reliability that has made Raypak a trusted name for decades. Equipped with a standard copper heat exchanger, it delivers consistent and efficient everyday performance.

Features

No Electricity Required: The Millivolt system generates its own power directly from the heat of the pilot flame. This makes it completely immune to power surges and grid outages, ensuring your pool stays warm even during severe weather or rolling blackouts.

Robust 336,000 BTU Power: Providing massive thermal lift, this unit delivers rapid temperature gains for large residential pools and attached spas, ensuring you get the fast heating you need without relying on a digital connection.

Simple Analog Dial Control: Features a straightforward mechanical thermostat. There are no digital screens to fail or complex menus to navigate; just turn the dial to your desired temperature for a true set-it-and-forget-it experience.

Standard Copper Heat Exchanger: Built with high-quality integral copper fin tubes, this heat exchanger provides maximum heat transfer and 82% thermal efficiency. The single-piece header design ensures smooth water flow and minimizes the risk of internal leaks.

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.

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 modern pool 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 standing pilot and burner stay functional even in exposed or rural outdoor environments.

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

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.
