The Raypak P-R206A-EN-C is a professional-grade heating solution designed to provide consistent warmth and rapid heat-up times. This 206,000 BTU model is the "sweet spot" for many residential inground pools and large spa-only configurations, offering a perfect balance of powerful performance and a compact footprint that fits easily on standard equipment pads. The 009216 model features Raypak’s signature digital control system and a high-quality copper heat exchanger, ensuring your pool reaches the perfect temperature with the push of a button.
Features
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, making troubleshooting simple and fast.
Reliable Electronic Ignition: Features a robust "spark-to-pilot" ignition system that only lights when there is a call for heat. This eliminates the need for a standing pilot light, saving you money on gas and preventing common pilot blow-outs in windy conditions.
Standard Copper Heat Exchanger: Built with high-quality integral copper fin tubes, this heat exchanger provides maximum heat transfer and efficiency. The single-piece header design ensures smooth water flow and minimizes the chance of 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 efficiency and protecting the heater's internal components from premature wear.
ProTek Shield Technology: This innovative, replaceable module is designed to protect the heat exchanger from the damaging effects of galvanic corrosion (electrolysis), which is a common cause of heater failure in modern pool environments.
Non-Corrosive Cabinet Design: The heater is housed in a polyester-coated, galvanized steel cabinet that is built to resist rust and UV damage. This wind-resistant design ensures the burner flame stays protected and functional even in harsh outdoor conditions.
Versatile Field Conversion: The heater is designed for easy installation with field-convertible headers, allowing for water connections on either the right or left side to match your existing plumbing layout.
