1. Raypak Pool Heaters
Raypak pool heaters are produced by Raypak inc. Raypak is a Californian
company which specialises in producing heating systems such as boilers,
water heaters and pool heaters for both commercial and residential use.
With over 60 years of experience it is now one of the top suppliers of all
types of water heaters. The achievement of high standards has always
been its aim as regards making products which are top quality, reliable
and energy efficient. It was this ethos that enabled them to gain ISO 9001
recognition, the first company in their market to do so.
Raypak's range of pool heaters presently comprises:
• Raypac Digital Heater - This is often referred to as the RP2100
although that is actually an older model. There are versions of the
Raypak digital heater with power levels between 200 BTU and 399
BTU all designed to avoid condensation and prevent rust build-up.
It should offer a long lifetime without any hassle, it is even
unaffected by wind or any other normal weather conditions. It is
microprocessor controlled with electronic ignition and on-board
diagnostic controls. The idea is that the user simply sets the
temperature for the pool and lets the heater get on with it. Raypak
also produce a version of this heater which is low NOx and meets all
emission standards in this respect.
• Millivolt Pool Heater - This is very similar to the Digital heater
except that it has a standing pilot light to provide ignition, uses a
mechanical thermostat and has no diagnostics.
• Raypak Heat Pump - The classic series heat pump ranges from 95
to 133 BTU/hr and all versions feature a titanium heat exchanger to
withstand corrosion. The heat pump can heat both a pool and a spa
the temperature of which can be set separately using either an
analog or digital control panel. The top model can be switched into
reverse to provide pool cooling in summer and also features a
defrost mode to prevent ice forming on the condenser.
From these Raypak pool heaters which should you choose? Firstly you
need to decide if you need a heat pump or a gas pool heater. Assuming
that getting electricity to the pool location is not a problem, a heat pump
will be best if you keep your pool heated most of the season. Although the
purchase price is higher than a gas heater a heat pump has much lower
running costs. You might prefer a gas heater if you only heat your pool
occasionally because gas heaters are more powerful and can get a pool up
to the required temperature more quickly. Gas heaters are cheaper to
purchase so if your usage is not high the greater running costs will not be
a major issue.
If you decide that a gas heater is the best option then the digital heater
will be the one to go for, provided of course that you can deliver an
electrical supply to it. If this is not possible the Millivolt heater provides a
good alternative.
Either way you will find that one of the Raypak pool heaters meets your
needs.
