Which Raypak Pool Heater Should You Buy?
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. It has strived to meets its stated aims of quality, reliability and efficiency. The company was pleased to become the first boiler manufacturer to achieve ISO 9001 registration in 1996.
Raypak's range of pool heaters presently comprises:
- Raypac Digital Heater - This actually replaced the RP2100 but that number is often used when talking about this heater. 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 will provide years of trouble free use and be unaffected by all except the most extreme weather conditions. It features electronic ignition and full diagnostics so the user can see exactly what is happening. Basically you just have to set the required temperature and the heater does the rest. There is also a low NOx version of this heater which exceeds all NOx emission requirements.
- Raypak Millivolt 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. There is a choice of analogue or digital controls but in both cases you can control pool and spa temperature separately. The top of the range version has a reverse switch that enables the heat pump to go from heating the pool to cooling it. It also has a defrost mode to prevent a build up of ice in cold temperatures.
From these Raypak pool heaters which should you choose? Well the first thing to decide is whether you want a gas heater or a heat pump. If you intend to leave your pool heater running most of the season then a heat pump will be best as it is the most cost effective option. Although the purchase price is higher than a gas heater a heat pump has much lower running costs. On the other hand a gas heater may be best if you heat your pool only periodically because it will get the water up to temperature quicker. They are also cheaper to buy and if they are not used a great deal then this advantage will not be wiped out by the higher running costs.
Assuming you are looking at a gas heater then you would go for the digital heater (or the low NOx version) if you can provide an electricity supply to the heater. If not you will have to go for the Millivolt heater.
Either way you will find that one of the Raypak pool heaters meets your needs.
Tank vs. Tankless Water Heaters?
Pros and Cons. Considering Getting one. Also, do you think you could run a 3 zone, base-board heater (boiler) off of it?
I lived with an propane fueled "on-demand" tankless water heater for several years. It was perfect for that situation... supply hot water to the galley (kitchen) and head (bathroom) without WASTING water or fuel.
I don't think a tankless heater would be efficient for running a multi zone base-board heater system though...
Good Luck.
