how many btu's would i need....my inground is 17 by 32 with 8' deep end?
BEST ANSWER: I believe you need to calculate how many gallons of water you have which should be easy given the dimenstions you have provided. Length x width x average depth x 7.5 = volume (in gallons). From there the BTUs required to heat the amount of water in a given amount of time - i.e., the more BTUs, the faster to get water to required temperature. Basically any amount of BTUs will heat the pool but consider time vs electric/gas to get water to preferred temperature.

I have a Hayward HeatPro 21002 electric heater that is 100,000 BTU and was wanting to switch to natural gas and was looking at the Hayward H150FDN. Is this a unit that would work or is there something else that you would recommend for my ingrained pool?
Does the H series have electronic ignition?
BEST ANSWER: Yes if by electronic you mean No Pilot light. Heater is wired to power (comes set up for 220v but can easily be set to 110) and connected to gas. When pool or spa pump is running it senses water flow and when you turn heater on it lights itself.

Heater for 35000 gallon pool?
BEST ANSWER: I use this heater on a 10000 gallon pool and it works fine but on a 35000 gallon you will probably use a lot more gas to heat it. I would suggest going with a higher BTU heater for your size of pool.

I bought this one about a 1 1/2 years ago and it still works fine. My question is it used to heat the water about one degree in one hour. Now it takes almost 2 hours to increase by one degree. Should I call a pool heater technician to come by. I live in VaBch. Someone told me I need a new heat exchanger. I don't want to buy something I don't need. Any info will help?
BEST ANSWER: That heater should not have the loss of performance within a year and a half that you are experiencing. Replacing the heat exchanger is not the cure. Usually, a loss of performance like you have is due to flow issues. Pool heaters have internal assemblies that regulate the flow of water into the exchanger while allowing some water to bypass. To work efficiently the water in the exchanger likes to be about 165 degrees. To control that some manufactures use a thermal regulator that is basically the same as the thermostat in your car. The other part of the system is the flow control or bypass assembly. The bypass allows water to go around the exchanger and then mix with the hot water coming out of the exchanger. Your heater uses part number FDXLFHA1930 which is the whole header inlet and outlet assembly. The bypass cartridge kit is FDXLBPK1930. I would inspect the bypass cartridge first as it is easy to screw off of the manifold assembly. Look for damage to springs or broken parts. The whole manifold assembly is eight nuts and some gaskets. If you are handy, removing your inlet and outlet pipe union adapters is easy and you will need part number SPX3200UG union gaskets when you assemble. The manifold kit should have all the gaskets included. You will need to remove the two side panels from around the manifold. Total parts for this is under $200.00 without tax and shipping. Be careful assembling the unions, hand tighten only, NO channel locks or pipe wrenches!

I have a Hayward 250,000btu heater that requires replacement. Can I replace it with the 400,000btu model? If yes, do I need a new gas regulator as the current one is rated up to 300,000btu
BEST ANSWER: Upgrading a 250,000 BTU heater to a 400,000 BTU heater makes sense. Having the correct gas supply is the first requirement to consider. A call to your gas supplier usually results in their willingness to install a larger gas meter. They want to sell you the gas so this is usually done for free.
The second part of that gas requirement is the size of pipe and the length from the meter to your appliance. There is a uniform code of specifications that dictate size of pipe and length from meter. This table is usually found in the installation manual of gas pool heaters. You can find a manual, usually under the heater of choice on our website. The specifications are the same for all heaters so the manual for any heater should have the uniform table for gas supply.
Gas type is also to be considered as Natural Gas and Propane have different specifications. Unlike natural gas, Propane can be two staged which means they can turn up the volume coming out of the tank and then install a regulator at the heaters location.
Two criteria should be used when sizing a gas pool heater. The gas supply and how much you want to spend. If your supply is limited, that will dictate what size of heater you are going to be able to install. I will always recommend installing the largest heater that fits the criteria. Yes, bigger is better and more efficient.
There is also another consideration when installing a pool heater and that is if it is being used for a salt water system. A cupro-nickle heat exchanger is a must for salt pools, as a standard copper exchanger will fail within weeks.

If I purchase a 150K btu unit is this sufficient to heat a 750 gallon spa? Assume a 30 minute heat period what will be the temperature rise at the end of 30 minutes
BEST ANSWER: Yes, a 150,000 BTU heater will heat your 750 gallon spa. For specifics about heat time and costs for natural gas and propane, we have a blog article that gives you formulas that you can punch in numbers and it will yield results that are pretty accurate.
https://www.poolsupplyunlimited.com/how-long-will-it-take-to-heat-my-pool/blog/100
To raise the temperature of the water 20 degrees with an average of 70 degrees outside with a 150,000 BTU heater, it will take about 49 minutes. If you install a 300,000 BTU heater it is just 25 minutes and a 400,000 is 19 minutes. There are variables that you also need to consider. The smaller heater may never be able to heat the spa if the outside temperatures plummet to near freezing and you are trying to get a 50 degree heat rise for the water. I will always recommend purchasing the largest heater that you have a gas supply for and how much you can afford. When heating a pool or spa, bigger is better and more cost effective.
