HAYWARD UNIVERSAL H-SERIES W3HS250FDN LOW NOX OMNIX NATURAL GAS POOL & SPA HEATER – 250K BTU, CUPRO-NICKEL HEAT EXCHANGER

Heating Capacity: 250,000 BTU
Thermal Efficiency: Approx. 82%

The Hayward W3HS250FDN Natural Gas Pool & Spa Heater with OmniX delivers 250,000 BTU and adds embedded smart automation to the proven Universal H-Series platform.
OmniX is the difference. Intelligence is built into the heater itself rather than requiring a separate control panel, so you get app-based remote temperature control, scheduling, wireless coordination with pumps and other equipment, and advanced diagnostics straight out of the box. An optional OmniX Gateway extends control beyond Bluetooth range to anywhere with a connection.
Underneath, the hardware is the Universal H-Series you know: a cupro-nickel heat exchanger for salt water and chemical corrosion resistance, a forced-draft combustion system that removes the need for a high-wind stack, and Low NOx emissions meeting clean-air standards. Hayward plumbing adapters allow drop-in replacement of an existing heater.
