Customer-Facing Q&A
Q: Is this heater for natural gas or propane?
A: This model is Natural Gas. If you need propane, you’ll want the LP version—make sure to match the heater to your fuel source.

A: Bigger BTU generally means faster heating and better recovery, especially for pools with spas. Proper sizing depends on pool volume, climate, wind exposure, and whether you use a cover.
Q: What’s the advantage of polymer headers?
A: Polymer headers are commonly chosen for their corrosion resistance, which can help in harsh pool-pad environments.
Q: Does this work for both pools and spas?
A: Yes—this class of heater is frequently used for pool heating and spa heating, especially when quick heat-up is important.
