RayPak 266A Electronic 266,000 BTU Natural Gas Heater Reviews

imageWhat size pool is the Raypak 266,000 BTU heater best for? 1 Answer

  • This heater is a great fit for medium to large in-ground pools, typically between 15,000 and 25,000 gallons. That’s roughly the size of a 16' x 32' up to about an 18' x 36' rectangular pool, depending on depth. It’s powerful enough to heat your water efficiently, even in cooler weather.

imageCan it connect to automation systems? 1 Answer

  • Yes, it’s automation compatible. You can hook it up to systems like Hayward, Pentair, or Jandy controllers and manage your pool heat through your main control panel or app (depending on the system).

imageIs the display easy to use? 1 Answer

  • It’s pretty straightforward. The digital control panel lets you set your temp, turn it on/off, and run diagnostics if anything goes off. Most folks get the hang of it quickly, even without the manual.

imageHow does it perform in cold Canadian weather? 1 Answer

  • It’s a popular pick in colder climates, including here in Canada. It’s built to handle cooler air temps, and with proper insulation and setup, it’ll reliably heat your pool early spring through late fall.

imageCan I install this indoors? 1 Answer

  • You can, but it needs a special indoor venting kit and proper clearance. You’ll also need to follow local building codes. If you’re not sure, talk to a licensed gas tech before installing it inside.
