Hi!
We have a Raypak PR266 EN 266,000 BTU Gas heater.
Since completing the pool build a couple of years ago, we had a pool cabana built that is 12/x19 and also encloses all the pool equipment. We did this to help with keeping the pool equipment covered and hopefully last longer.
A few questions / issues I have run into now.
1. Venting the Gas heater - Was looking on Raypak's site and they have a power vented heater that has a fan and reducing the almost 9" vent to 4". We plan to vent through the roof and I was wondering if we could not just use a 9" conduit and reduce it to 4" at the exit instead of the power vent? The power vent shows us as costing $500!!
Raypak Residential Pool Heaters - D-2 Power Vent
2. Turning the heater around - The front of the heater is facing the back wall of the cabana where there is very little access Was wondering if I can turn the heater to face forward. I would need to reverse the water headers and maybe the gas line.. Or the gas line can stay where it is and we just reverse the water headers.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Here is a pic of the setup.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
