Raypak Analog Propane Pool Heater

No, this model uses a millivolt standing pilot system, meaning it does not require an external electrical connection. It is designed for simple, mechanical operation.

The mechanical thermostat uses a simple dial rather than a digital interface. It is ideal if you prefer a 'set-it-and-forget-it' approach without the complexity of programming or digital menus.

No, this specific model is designed exclusively for outdoor installation. The pagoda top design is engineered to vent exhaust properly in outdoor environments, even in windy conditions.

The Unitherm governor is a critical feature that regulates water flow and temperature inside the heater. It helps prevent condensation and scale buildup, which significantly extends the lifespan of your heat exchanger.

While the unit features corrosion-resistant polymer headers and a robust cabinet, the heat exchanger is made of copper. If you have a saltwater pool, you must ensure your water chemistry is properly balanced and consider a sacrificial anode to protect the copper components from corrosion.

Because this unit uses a standing pilot, you will need to ensure the pilot flame remains lit. It is a reliable, time-tested ignition method, but it does require you to manually relight the pilot if it is extinguished by high winds or if the gas supply is interrupted.
