Features

NiTek Shield Technology: The AVIA comes standard with a nickel-plated heat exchanger that is significantly more durable than traditional copper. It is specifically engineered to resist the corrosive effects of salt-chlorine generators and fluctuating water chemistry, greatly extending the life of the heater.

Integrated Smart Automation: The AVIA features built-in Wi-Fi and the Raymote Mobile App. Not only can you control your pool temperature from anywhere in the world, but the AVIA can also manage your pool pump and lights, acting as a sophisticated automation hub for your equipment pad.

Ideal Mid-Size Propane Power: With a 264,000 BTU rating, this model provides an excellent balance of rapid heating and fuel efficiency. It is designed to extend your swimming season and heat attached spas quickly without the massive gas draw of larger commercial-sized units.

ProTek Shield Module: Features a specialized, replaceable module that protects the heat exchanger from the damaging effects of galvanic corrosion (electrolysis). This provides an essential second layer of defense for saltwater pool owners.

Compact and Lightweight Design: Weighing under 140 lbs and featuring a small, square footprint, the AVIA is incredibly easy to maneuver. It fits perfectly on tight equipment pads and is roughly half the weight of older traditional heaters, making it a favorite among installation professionals.

Intelligent Flow Monitoring: The AVIA is the only heater in its class with a built-in Protection Mode that monitors water flow. If it detects a flow issue that could lead to overheating, it will alert you via the app to prevent damage before it occurs.

High-Resolution Touchscreen: Features a large, intuitive digital interface that is easy to use even with wet fingers. The swing-out control box provides simple service access to all internal components, reducing maintenance time.
