Designation for a Digital heater using propane gas is “EP”;
a Digital heater using natural gas is “EN”.
Designation for a Millivolt heater using propane gas is “MP”;
a Millivolt heater using natural gas is “MN”.
Prefix “P” is for plastic (polymer) headers; “C” is for cast iron (ASME) headers.
Suffix “X” is for cupro-nickel tubing; “C” is for copper tubing
Example: P-R406A-EN-X = Plastic headers, 406 model size, digital, natural gas, cupro-nickel
Reduce input 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level when installed above 2000 feet elevation.
Manufactured under Patent No. 3,623,458.
Plastic (polymer) headers cannot be used for installations requiring ASME certification.
How to Pick the Right Size Heater
Proper heater size is based on the time required to heat the pool or spa. If water is heated for each intended use, energy-saving rapid heating may be appropriate.
If water is gradually heated to the desired temperature and then maintained at that temperature, a smaller heater may be acceptable. To determine proper heater
size, use the following formula.
______ Desired water temperature (°F)
(minus) –
______ Average air temperature (°F)
(equals) =
______ Required temperature rise (°F)
(divided) ÷
______ Required time to heat pool/spa to desired water temp. (hours)
(equals) =
______ Required temperature rise per hour (°F)
