Warranty Information
1-Year Manufacturer Warranty
Installation on a soft-sided pool, including Intex, Coleman and Bestway pools, voids the product warranty due to insufficient water flow.
Ultimate Pools is your first point of contact for compatibility verification, installation guidance, and warranty support.
The Raypak Digital 206A Natural Gas Pool and Spa Heater with Riser (019469) delivers 199,500 BTU of heating output for compatible pool and spa systems. This model replaces SKU 009962 and features digital electronic ignition, a copper fin-tube heat exchanger and a microprocessor-controlled thermostat for precise temperature adjustment.
Designed for outdoor installations at elevations up to 2,000 ft, the heater combines a low-profile wind-resistant cabinet with galvanized metal construction, PolyTuf powder coating, polymer headers and stainless steel tube sheets. Its self-adjusting burner, built-in automatic bypass and Unitherm Governor help support reliable operation across changing gas pressure, water-flow and inlet-temperature conditions.
Key Features

A replaceable protection module is designed to take the brunt of corrosion and help extend heat-exchanger life.
The low-profile cabinet is designed to draft naturally and resist wind, rain, debris and changing outdoor conditions.
Galvanized metal with PolyTuf textured powder coating helps provide long-term outdoor durability.
The Unitherm Governor regulates water flow to help reduce condensation, sooting and scale buildup.
