Pool & Spa Heaters
Raypak's Australian-made Gas
Pool & Spa Heater simplifies
operation as never before. The digital controller allows you
to control or adjust
the temperature with the touch of a button. Its simple reliable
and easy to control.
The new Pool & Spa heating programmable controller features
a digital display that not only controls temperature, but
also tells you the actual temperature of your pool or spa
water.
Dual control allows you to set separate temperatures for your
pool and spa.
The ideal temperature for leisure swimming
is around 25 to 26 degrees Celsius.
This temperature is very rarely achieved naturally. For most
of the swimming season,
the normal water temperature would be around 18 to 20 degrees.
Most of the temperature gained during the day is lost overnight,
leaving the pool cold again in the morning.
Gas heating can quickly and efficiently heat your pool to
a comfortable temperature for swimming whenever it is required.
This means you can extend your swimming season for as long
as you like, thus increasing the return on what was probably
a fairly large investment in your pool.
The increased availability of natural gas and LPG has made
it a popular form of swimming pool heating. The fact that
it is always available and can be closely regulated makes
it ideal for use on pools and spas where particular temperatures
are required.
HEATER RATING (SIZING)
Gas heaters have an input rating which is expressed in Megajoules
(MJ), which is a measure of fuel energy consumption, and an
energy output rating expressed in Kilowatts (kW).
The smaller heaters are in the range of 60 to 100 MJ with
larger heaters ranging through 250 up to 400 MJ. The output
of heaters will range from 25 to 100 kW.
WHAT SIZE HEATER DO YOU CHOOSE?
Selecting the right size heater depends on a number of factors.
The size of the pool and/or spa. The maximum temperature you
would like to achieve and the heat up time required.
When determining the size of the pool, consideration must
also be given to whether or not the
heater is required to heat the spa as well as the pool.
Most people want to be able to heat their spa quickly and
to a much higher temperature than the pool, so a heater should
be selected with this in mind. If it is only the pool to be
heated, remember, it does not really matter if it takes a
little longer and also the temperature rise* will be less,
so perhaps a smaller heater could be considered.
CONTROLS
It is preferable that all gas heaters be fitted with thermostatic
controls. However, heaters
connected to spas must have a thermostatic control with a
maximum set temperature of 40
degrees.
Again there are various levels of controls available, with
some heaters being fitted with in-built timeclocks and other
even more sophisticated controls. Choose the one that best
suits your budget but also consider your lifestyle and the
way in which you intend to use your pool and/or spa. Don’t
overlook the possibility of obtaining some long term benefits
from a short term cost.
COST EFFECTIVE AND CONVENIENT
Gas pool and spa heaters are cost efficient and relatively
inexpensive as far as running costs are concerned. They provide
the added convenience of being instantly available whenever
you decide
to heat the pool or spa. By utilising thermostatic control,
the temperature of your pool can be
maintained at the level you select, despite the weather conditions.
Using a gas heater to boost a solar heating system can also
extend the swimming season and
using a pool blanket will reduce operating costs.
