Raypak Analog Propane Gas Pool Heater | P-R106A-AP-C

The Raypak P-R106A-AP-C is a compact, high-performance propane gas heater designed specifically for above-ground pools, spas, and smaller in-ground installations. This model features an analog control system combined with an electronic intermittent ignition device (IID), providing a balance of simple operation and modern energy efficiency. Tailored for altitudes between 4,000 and 6,999 feet, it ensures reliable heating in mountain environments where standard heaters often struggle.

Engineered with a small footprint but professional-grade components, the R106A is built to withstand the rigors of outdoor exposure. Its use of corrosion-resistant polymer headers and a high-efficiency copper heat exchanger makes it a durable choice for pool owners seeking to extend their swimming season without a massive equipment footprint.

Features

Analog Temperature Control: The user-friendly dial allows for quick and easy temperature adjustments. This straightforward mechanical interface is highly reliable and easy to operate, even in bright sunlight where digital screens can be difficult to read.

Electronic Intermittent Ignition (IID): This heater does not require a standing pilot light. Instead, it uses an electronic spark to light the burner only when the thermostat calls for heat. This saves on propane costs and prevents the pilot from being extinguished by wind.

High-Altitude Calibration: Factory-tuned for elevations between 4,000 and 6,999 feet. This ensures the unit receives the correct air-to-gas mixture to provide clean combustion and prevent the accumulation of soot on the heat exchanger in thinner air.

Corrosion-Resistant Polymer Headers: The headers are manufactured from a high-strength polymer that is naturally resistant to the corrosive nature of pool water and harsh chemicals. This design prevents the rust and scale issues common with traditional metal headers.

Copper Fin Tube Heat Exchanger: The integral fin copper tubing provides maximum heat transfer efficiency. The single-piece construction reduces the number of potential leak points and allows the heater to respond quickly to temperature changes.
