Raypak Analog 106K BTU Propane Pool Heater - Copper - P-R106A-AP-C | 014781

The Raypak 106 is a high-quality, entry-level heater designed specifically for smaller bodies of water where natural gas is not available. Whether you have an inflatable pool, a standalone hot tub, or a small above-ground pool, this 105,000 BTU liquid propane unit provides professional-grade heating in a compact, user-friendly package that eliminates the need for complex programming.

The 014781 model features a classic analog dial for temperature control and a reliable copper heat exchanger, offering a "set-it-and-forget-it" experience that makes it a favorite for off-grid or rural installations.

Features

Simple Analog Dial Control: Designed for those who prefer straightforward operation without complicated menus or digital screens. The intuitive analog thermostat allows you to adjust your pool or spa temperature with a simple turn of a knob.

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 is a critical benefit as it eliminates the gas waste of a standing pilot light and prevents blow-outs in windy conditions.

Compact, Space-Saving Footprint: At only 12 inches wide, this is one of the smallest propane heaters on the market. It is the perfect choice for tight equipment pads, hidden enclosures, or locations where space is at a premium.

High-Efficiency Copper Heat Exchanger: Built with integral copper fin tubes to provide maximum heat transfer. The single-piece header design ensures smooth water flow and minimizes the risk of internal leaks, ensuring your propane is used as efficiently as possible.

PolyFlo Integrated Bypass: This patented design balances the water flow through the heat exchanger automatically. By maintaining the correct flow velocity, it 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), which is essential for maintaining the lifespan of the heater in modern pool environments.

Non-Corrosive Cabinet Construction: The heater 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 high-wind outdoor environments.
