MegaTherm
High Performance Gas Fired
Commercial Pool Heater
Powerful, efficient, and reliable, MegaTherm® pool
heaters are designed for commercial, institutional and large
residential pools where economical performance and rapid
heat-up are required. Available in indoor and outdoor
models, with twenty-two sizes from 500,000 to 5,000,000
BTU/h to precisely match any heating requirement.
MegaTherm is designed to deliver efficiencies as high as 82%.
Integral finned copper tubes are rolled directly into the headers, and
conformal heat exchanger baffles and an eight-fins-per-inch tubing
configuration maximize combustion heat extraction. We’ve also
designed MegaTherm to be simple to service. Heat exchanger
header covers are field-removable for complete inspection of tubing
and header passages, and the heat exchanger is replaceable
without disassembly of the burners or combustion chamber.
®
MegaTherm is design certified to the ANSI
Gas-Fired Pool Heaters. (Outdoor 500–1825 units are certified for
use without the addition of a draft diverter or external vent. Indoor
units incorporate a built-in draft diverter and require only vent
piping.) Salt water models (500–1825) are available with cupronickel
alloy heat exchanger tubes and bronze headers and header covers.

Sizes 2000 – 5000
For Indoor Pools Model I
1. Calculate the surface area of the pool in square feet.
2. Refer to the selection chart for either an indoor or outdoor heater.
3. Find the closest square footage in the 10° F (6° C) Temperature Difference column, and the heater models which correspond to it. For normal conditions,
Pentair recommends using the 10° F Temperature Difference columns; this will provide a temperature increase of approximately 6° F per 24 hour period.

MegaTherm
High Performance Gas Fired Commercial Pool Heaters
®
The Perfect Combination of Accurate Control,
Efficiency, and Long Life
MegaTherm® is packed with performance features designed specifically
for the commercial, institutional, and large residential pool market.
The primary/secondary pump and control (Models 500–1825) feature
an electronic controller with a solid state sensor and adjustable
differential for accurate temperature control. Inlet water is preheated
to eliminate condensation, and a constant velocity in the heat
exchanger increases tube life. The diverter valve has been eliminated
in the pool circulation line, resulting in lower installation and operating
costs. And, inlet and outlet thermometers with ±1% accuracy allow
precise set-up and temperature rise monitoring.
Additional Design Advantages Include:
• Control system includes automatic temperature control, temperature
limit, gas pressure regulator, redundant electric gas valve, water
flow sensing, electronic flame safety supervision and manual gas
shut-off valve. The standard control system operates on 24 VAC
with a 120 VAC power supply. Standard units are intermittent
(spark) ignition.
®
®
•Working pressure of 160 psi complies with Section IV of the ASME
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Units are registered with the
National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors.
Pressure relief valve is ASME® rated and is selected to provide
•
discharge capacity in excess of unit heating input.
•
Combustion chamber is cast refractory with a 2000° F (1093° C)
working temperature.
• Burners are atmospheric type constructed of AISI alloy 430 (models
500–1825) or AISI 439 (models 2000–5000) stainless steel.
• Chassis and jacket parts are of galvanized steel meeting ASTM
Standard for G90 coating. Exterior is finished with acrylic paint,
thermoset at 325° F (163° C).
