My mistake is your gain. I ordered the wrong unit. I ordered a Propane version of this heater instead of a natural gas version. This unit is brand new. The pool technician took it out of the box, but obviously never installed it as it was to wrong type of unit for my pool. The ASME Pool/Spa Heaters 206A-406A are for commercialinstallations. They feature an All-Copper-Fin-Tube Heat Exchanger, CondensationProtection, and PolyTuf Textured Powder Coating. Some local codes require that public pools, pools that arein a condominium and apartment or other commercial application be ASMEcertified. ASME stands for American Society of Mechanical Engineers. They are anon-profit group which sets many industrial and manufacturing standards. A poolheater that is made to ASME standards will perform to a set of specificationsas determined by ASME, specifically in relation to the operating water pressurethe appliance can handle. Each and every ASME heat exchanger that goes into aRaypak heater is certified by a state inspector to make sure it complies withthe ASME code for that particular product. PolyTuf Textured Powder Coating. The Raypak gas heater has a polyester-coated, non-corrosivecabinet that is more durable than solvent-borne and water-borne coated metalcabinets. Every piece of sheet metal goes through a 7-stage wash system. Makingcertain the power paint has a perfect bond. Underneath the tough, yet beautifulfinish you will galvanized metal that offers superior rust prevention and yearsof durable service. No need for fans to combat drafting problems under normalconditions. This heater is designed to draft naturally in outdoor installationswith its exclusive low-profile design. It is so thoughtfully and carefullydesigned it actually protects itself from the things that tend to stifleordinary pool and spa heaters. It delivers uninterrupted heating performanceregardless of falling leaves, wind, airborne debris, rain, downdrafts, updrafts, sleet, snow, etc. These units are available with two different control designsto meet your requirement. They are available with digital electronic ignition, or as a millivolt design. The digital system (pictured) requires external power(120VAC or 240VAC) and generates a pilot only when there is a call for heat. Itprovides simple setup and easy programming, as well as easy-to-understanddiagnostics and simple connections to remote controls. The millivolt ignitionsystem does not require external power. It generates its’ own currentinternally, with a small thermo couple driven by the constant pilot. Themillivolt ignition system is not available in California for natural gas units. Rugged bronze headers with porcelainized waterways providethe strength that tough ASME requirements demand. The fin tubes of the heat exchanger are each made from asingle piece of extruded copper. This integral-fin design allows maximum heattransfer to be attained and maintained. Cupro-nickel is also available as anoptional upgrade. Stainless Steel Tube Sheet. Stainless steel tube sheets allow for a completelynonferrous waterway, leaving your pool truly rust-free. CPVC 2 Water Connections. Standard with every Raypak is a set of 2 slip-fit CPVCwater connections to make your installation secure and effortless. The Unitherm Governor inside the header helps reducecondensation from low inlet water temperatures. It automatically regulates thewater flow to help keep the water temperature in the heat exchanger above105°F. Both water temperature and water flow rate are controlled to eliminatecondensation, sooting, and scale build-up that can shorten heater life. The Raypak gas heater comes with an automatic bypass builtinto the header. Every burner tray is built to last, from the stainless steelburners to the aluminized metal used in the heat sensitive areas. Innovativedesign allows for the easy removal of the tray and burners for servicing. A ceramic fiber combustion box keeps your heater runningefficiently while keeping the outside jacket cool. By using this space-agematerial the heater won’t retain residual heat after it is turned off, allowingit to be installed without the use of costly metal heat sinks. Energy-smart Raypak heaters consistently achieve the highestefficiency ratings. They exceed all federal and state standards.
