RAYPAK 266A 009233 HIGH ALTITUDE PROPANE POOL & SPA HEATER – 266K BTU, POLYMER HEADERS, COPPER HEAT EXCHANGER
Heating Capacity: 266,000 BTU
Fuel Type: Propane
Heat Exchanger: All-Copper Fin Tube
Header Material: Polymer Resin
Ignition Type: Digital Electronic (Intermittent Spark)
Elevation Rating: 3,000–5,000 Feet
The Raypak 009233 P-R266A-EP-C #59 Digital Propane Pool & Spa Heater is purpose-built for installations at elevated altitude, delivering a 266,000 BTU input through an all-copper fin tube heat exchanger and rust-resistant polymer resin headers. Factory-calibrated for the 3,000 to 5,000 foot elevation range, it delivers proper combustion and consistent heating performance where standard sea-level-rated heaters underperform, making it a solid choice for mountain and high-desert residential pools and spas.
Built with a corrosion-resistant, wind-resistant "pagoda top" cabinet design finished in PolyTuf powder coating over galvanized metal, the 009233 is engineered to keep operating reliably in exposed outdoor installations. The single-piece extruded copper fin tube heat exchanger delivers efficient heat transfer, while polymer resin headers with stainless steel tube sheets prevent the rust staining that plagues older cast-iron and bronze designs. An automatic bypass built into the header supports flow rates up to 125 GPM.
A microprocessor-based digital thermostat with LCD display simplifies temperature setting and startup, and continuous self-diagnostics display operational status and service codes to speed up troubleshooting. The built-in Unitherm Governor automatically regulates water flow to keep the heat exchanger above 105°F, reducing condensation-related wear.
