Looking to get a heater this year.. Preferably natural gas.. Not sure how big I should get or what is a good brand..
Opinions needed please.
Thanks

No, they will use the same amount of gas per degree of temp rise. Bigger will get you there faster, smaller will get you there slower. This is all within reason of course. too small and you may not overcome temp loss due to ambient conditions.So is it all relative? A bigger heater will use more gas but run less as it will heat faster? Whereas the smaller heater will use less gas but take longer to heat up?
Well it is not a Raypak ...How about this one?
Well it is not a Raypak ...
Also I do not think Low Nox is required in most places.
And Cupro-nickel is not really required.
But is the price right? 200K for $1400 shipped.. Seemed like a good price. I don't know what low nox or cupro-nickel even are..
GENERAL INFORMATION :
Wiring connections must be made as shown in the wiring diagram found inside the heater cabinet, and as shown in Figure 23. The heater must include a definite means of grounding and bonding. There is a ground lug inside the control box and a bonding lug on the side of the heater.
MAIN POWER :WARNING- Power connections supplied to the heater must be in accordance with National Electric Code (NEC) and local electric codes. The NEC contains no standards requiring Ground-Fault Interruption protection (via GFI Circuit Breaker or otherwise) of “Fixed” or “Stationary” equipment, under article 680: Swimming Pools, Fountains, & Similar Installations.
BONDING :
CAUTION- This heater must be connected to a bonding grid with a solid copper conductor wire gauge 8 AWG or larger. All Hayward heaters are designed for copper conductors only. The National Electrical Code (NEC), and most other codes require that all metallic components of a pool structure, including reinforcing steel, metal fittings and above ground equipment, be bonded together with a solid copper conductor wire gauge 8 AWG or larger. The heater, along with pumps and other pool equipment must be connected to this bonding grid. A bonding lug is provided on the side of the heater to ensure that this requirement is met.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
The heater is equipped with a hot surface ignition control system that automatically lights the burners. An external power supply is required to power the control system. The heater is shipped from the factory wired for use with 240VAC, 60 Hz field power supply. To convert the heater to 120VAC, 60 Hz operation remove the 240VAC voltage selector jumper from the ignition control board and replace it with the 120VAC jumper. These jumpers are tie-wrapped together and are located on the fuse board. See Figure 25 for location of the fuse board. All wiring connections to the heater must be made in accordance with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, unless local code requirements specify otherwise. In Canada, follow CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.The heater must be electrically grounded and bonded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The heater may be installed with the electrical service and
remote control entering the heater cabinet on either the left or right sides of the heater. The heater is equipped with (4) openings for electrical entry. Any unused openings must be plugged (these are supplied). Field power
wiring connections are to be made to the terminal block located in the upper compartment inside the junction box (see Figure 22). The heater has 2 junction boxes (one on each side of the heater). Only one junction box
should be used for field power wiring.
You'll need to buy a cord and just wire it in. Should be color coordinated. The power is located on either side so just choose what side you wanna use.
