Reliable Analog Control

Plug-and-Play Power

Robust Stainless Steel Burners

The Raypak 106 is a high-quality, entry-level heater designed specifically for smaller bodies of water. Whether you have an inflatable pool, a small above-ground pool, or a standalone hot tub, this 105,000 BTU unit provides professional-grade heating in a compact, user-friendly package that doesn't require complex programming.

The 014779 model features a classic analog dial for temperature control and a reliable copper heat exchanger, offering a "set-it-and-forget-it" experience that has made Raypak a household name in pool heating.

Features

Simple Analog Dial Control: No complicated menus or digital screens to navigate. The straightforward analog thermostat allows you to adjust your pool or spa temperature with a simple turn of a knob, making it incredibly easy for anyone to operate.

Reliable Electronic Ignition: Features a robust "spark-to-pilot" ignition system that only lights when there is a call for heat. This modern upgrade to the classic analog design eliminates the need for a standing pilot light, saving on gas costs and preventing blow-outs.

Compact, Space-Saving Design: With a footprint of only 12 inches wide, this is one of the smallest gas heaters available. It is the ideal choice for tight equipment pads or for owners who want a powerful heater that doesn't take up excessive backyard space.

Copper Heat Exchanger Performance: Built with high-quality integral copper fin tubes, this heat exchanger provides maximum heat transfer and efficiency. Its 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, maintaining high thermal efficiency and protecting the heater's internal components.

ProTek Shield Technology: Includes a specialized, replaceable module designed to protect the heat exchanger from the damaging effects of galvanic corrosion (electrolysis), ensuring a longer lifespan for the heater’s most critical part.

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

Raypak Analog Heater Highlights

Polymer Headers

Prevent rust stains from harming your pool or spa’s surface, giving you years of trouble-free swimming pleasure.

All-Copper-Fin-Tube Heat Exchanger

The fin tubes of the heat exchanger are each made from a single piece of extruded copper. This integral-fin design allows maximum heat transfer to be attained and maintained. Raypak also uses thick stainless steel tube sheets for robust construction and rust free operation.

Controls

The 106 is available standard with an easy to use analog dial. The electronic ignition system requires external power (120VAC or 240VAC) and generates a pilot only when there is a call for heat. Units come with a 3 foot, 3 prong power cord.

Fuel-Efficient

Energy-smart Raypak heaters consistently achieve the highest efficiency ratings. They meet or exceed all federal and state standards.

Available for natural gas or propane.

Please note the Raypak model 106 is not designed to meet the emissions regulations in areas requiring Low NOx levels.

Reduce input 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level when installed above 2000 feet elevation.

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

Pool size

Water now 68°F

Temperature you want 84°F

You need to raise the water 16 degrees

2 · Your heater & rate

Fuel Set at the factory — you buy the version matching the fuel you have.

Cost per therm 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.
