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.

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.
