Before ordering
This is the natural gas version, not propane. Professional installation is required. Have your installer verify gas supply, electrical service, water flow, venting and site requirements. Indoor installations require the appropriate venting components. Installation labor and site-specific gas, electrical and venting materials are not included.

Fuel and heater sizing
This is the natural gas configuration. 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.
Installation requirements
A 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.
Complete the installation
Site-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.
Compatibility & installation
Check the exact model and the specifications above before ordering. For equipment and replacement parts, confirm the required voltage, connections, dimensions and compatibility with your existing system.
