Features
Durable PolyTuf Powder - Coated Cabinet
The PolyTuf textured polyester powder coating provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional solvent or waterborne finishes. Each cabinet panel undergoes a 7-stage wash process for maximum paint adhesion. Beneath the finish, galvanized steel enhances rust protection for long-lasting outdoor durability.
Wind-Resistant Outdoor Design
Designed to draft naturally without the need for fans, the low-profile cabinet helps protect the heater from wind, rain, debris, and downdrafts, allowing for reliable heating performance in outdoor installations.
Polymer Header Design
Polymer headers help prevent rust staining and extend the life of the heater by resisting corrosion caused by pool and spa water chemistry.
All-Copper-Fin-Tube Heat Exchanger
The integral-fin copper tubing maximizes heat transfer efficiency while stainless steel tube sheets provide added strength and corrosion resistance for long-term performance.
Raypak AFT Digital Controls
The 156A features Raypak’s proprietary AFT digital control system that manages safety functions, electronic ignition, and flame monitoring. It also provides advanced diagnostics and fault reporting. The ignition system operates on 120V or 240V power and includes a 3-foot power cord.
2 Inch Water Connections
Each Raypak 156A heater includes 2-inch flange connections to simplify installation and ensure secure plumbing connections.
Built-In Automatic Bypass
The factory-installed bypass helps maintain proper water flow through the heat exchanger across varying GPM rates and helps reduce condensation from cold water entering the heater.
Stainless Steel Burner Tray
Constructed with a stainless steel burner deck and aluminized metal components in heat-sensitive areas. The tray design allows easy removal for service and maintenance.
Ceramic Fiber Combustion Chamber
The insulated fire tile combustion box improves heating efficiency while helping keep the outer cabinet cooler during operation.
Fuel-Efficient Operation
Raypak heaters are designed for efficient performance and meet or exceed federal and state energy standards.
