The Raypak P-R206A-EP-C is a professional-grade heating solution designed for areas where natural gas is unavailable. This 206,000 BTU liquid propane unit is the "sweet spot" for many residential inground pools and large standalone spas, providing a perfect balance of rapid heat-up times and a compact footprint that fits easily on standard equipment pads.
The 009224 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.
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 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 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 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 chemically-balanced pools.
Non-Corrosive Cabinet Design: The heater is housed in a polyester-coated, galvanized steel cabinet built to resist rust and UV damage. This wind-resistant design ensures the burner flame stays protected and functional even in harsh outdoor or rural environments.
Versatile Field Conversion: Designed for maximum installation flexibility, the unit features field-convertible headers that allow water connections to be easily swapped from the right side to the left side to match your existing plumbing layout.
