Raypak’s AVIA Gas Pool & Spa Heater secured the esteemed “Heater of The Year” title at the 2023 Pool Nation Awards, signifying a notable achievement in the pool industry. This recognition not only highlights the exceptional features and performance that sets AVIA apart as a market leader but also serves as a testament to the unwavering support of our valued customers. 

Guided and influenced by valuable input from servicers and technicians, and refined by our engineering team, the AVIA Gas Pool & Spa Heater stands out for delivering unparalleled value in the pool marketplace. With a commitment to excellence, this product addresses the needs of homeowners seeking effective pool heating, boasting up to 84% thermal efficiency and low NOx certification.

Managing your pool heater has never been more convenient or intelligent. The AVIA unit incorporates cutting-edge technology, including intelligence insights, advanced controls, self-protection technologies, and three patents (with two more pending). This innovation places the AVIA Gas Pool & Spa Heater among the most coveted and forward-thinking pool products available.

Beyond its technical prowess, the AVIA unit is designed with environmental responsibility in mind. Opting for this product over a minimum efficiency alternative can offset CO2 emissions equivalent to planting an impressive 6,285 trees over the product’s lifetime.

The Pool Nation Awards, which recognizes and celebrates innovation in products, outstanding trainers, pool professionals, and companies, holds a special place amongst industry members. All nominations are judged and reviewed by pool professionals, for pool professionals. 

Raypak’s commitment to elevating the industry is exemplified by the partnership with Pool Nation, which included a hands-on bootcamp training at the Pool Spa & Patio show. Justin Reyes, Pool Marketing & Training Manager, emphasizes this stating, “We are dedicated to aligning ourselves with the trade to elevate the industry. We understand the importance of ‘learning by doing’ philosophy and believe this type of experience is the key to growth, which is why our training events are such a significant part of what we do to provide value to the industry. Nearly 100 pool professionals attended this bootcamp to learn about our AVIA and why it’s the best heater on the market. We look forward to many more workshops in 2024!

Reflecting on the Pool Nation Bootcamp, Justin Violet, Raypak Pool District Sales Manager, shares the positive impact: “The Pool Nation Bootcamp was well received by all of our 90+ students that attended our class throughout the day. With a guided hands-on experience by Brad, Dave, and myself tearing down an AVIA down to the tube bundle and reassembling, several students said that it was the best class they ever attended. Kudos to Pool Nation for providing the opportunity for us to get in front of the students and to Brad Duncan for his efforts in giving everyone an unforgettable Raypak experience.

Raypak AVIA’s win as “Heater of The Year” is not just a testament to its technological achievements but also a celebration of the collaborative efforts of our dedicated team and the support of our valued customers. Together we will continue to elevate the pool industry to new heights.
