Confirm that your supply matches before ordering. Gas-heater BTU input is the fuel input rating; usable heat output also depends on thermal efficiency. Pool volume, starting water temperature, desired warm-up time and heat loss determine the capacity needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA qualified installer should confirm gas-line capacity and pressure, electrical supply, water flow, equipment clearances and installation altitude. Indoor installations need the correct manufacturer-approved venting arrangement. Check the existing pad and plumbing connection positions when replacing another heater; matching BTU size alone does not guarantee a direct fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComplete the installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSite-specific gas fittings, electrical work, venting accessories and installation labor are separate. For remote control, verify the listed interface and any required network or automation hardware. Maintain the manufacturer's water-balance targets and keep the circulation system in good condition to protect the heat exchanger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mikan Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44888365301802,"sku":"RHM-15-4807","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6875\/8570\/files\/rheem-avia-018068-front.webp?v=1790016980","url":"https:\/\/mikanpool.com\/products\/rheem-avia-018068-pool-spa-heater-264-000-btu-natural-gas","provider":"MIKAN POOL SUPPLIES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
