The Raypak P-R206A-EN-X is the heavy-duty version of the popular 206 model, specifically engineered for pools and spas that demand extra protection. This model features a high-performance Cupro-Nickel heat exchanger, which is significantly more robust than standard copper. It is the ideal choice for pools with salt-chlorine generators, high bather loads, or water chemistry that is difficult to balance. With a 206,000 BTU output and a precise digital electronic ignition, the 014938 provides rapid heating and long-term reliability, ensuring your swimming season isn't cut short by equipment failure.
Features
Corrosion-Resistant Cupro-Nickel Heat Exchanger: Constructed from a premium copper-nickel alloy, this heat exchanger is designed to withstand the highly corrosive effects of salt systems and aggressive water chemistry. It offers superior erosion resistance, ensuring a much longer lifespan in demanding environments.
Microprocessor-Controlled Thermostat: The intuitive digital display allows you to set your pool and spa temperatures independently to within one degree. It also features constant self-diagnostics that monitor the heater's performance and alert you to any issues immediately.
Reliable Electronic Ignition: Features a robust pilot-on-demand ignition system that only lights when there is a call for heat. This eliminates the need for a standing pilot light, saving on gas costs and preventing the pilot from blowing out in windy conditions.
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: This innovative, replaceable module is designed to protect the heat exchanger from the damaging effects of galvanic corrosion (electrolysis), providing an extra layer of defense for the unit's most critical part.
Non-Corrosive Cabinet Design: The heater is housed in a polyester-coated, galvanized steel cabinet that resists rust and UV damage. This "wind-resistant" design ensures the burner stays lit and functional even in harsh coastal or high-wind areas.
Field-Convertible Headers: Designed for maximum installation flexibility, the water connections can be easily swapped from the right side to the left side to accommodate your existing plumbing layout.
