Heater DIY? 800 gallon spillover hot tub.

[david_]

Previous owner removed heater and let propane tank rot. I'm trying to fix that. Pro's will handle the propane tank and gas connection to heater (green below), but it looks fairly simple to connect a heater, bypass circuit, and check valve, and wire in. Or am I missing something?

Raypak seems like a popular brand.. trying to find distributor. 400k should heat up my 800 gallon spa quickly, and I'm planning on at least 250 gallon propane tank.

Make sure you order a heater configured for propane.

Why aren't you connecting the heater power to the panel mounted on the fence?

NEC requires a gas heater to be connected to a GFCI CB.

I may be able to connect it there.. it's a timer box (one for pump and one for booster). I use liquid chlorine.
