SpaPak 552 and 1102 Standard Features

All models

• Brass Headers

Brass headers prevent rust stains from harming your pool or spa’s surface, giving you years
of trouble-free swimming pleasure. They also allow for a corrosion free connection to your
spa plumbing, making any future servicing a snap.

• Copper Water Vessel

The Rheem Electric Spa heater has a completely non-ferrous waterway. The cast brass
headers are connected with an all copper water tank. This ensures that the spa water only
comes in contact with a rust free environment. This helps keeps your spa rust stain free.

• 1-1/2” Water Connections

Every Rheem Electric Spa heater comes standard with 1-1/2" NPT male connections to
make your installation secure and effortless. No other special connections are required,
such as current collectors or heat sinks.

• Heating Element

The heart of any electric heater is the heating element. The Rheem Electric Spa heater
comes with a robust, incoloy sheathed heating element. The top of the element is 3/16”
stainless steel, again, ensuring a rust free environment.

• Contactor

Rheem Electric Spa heaters use commercial grade components. Take one look at the heavy
duty power contactor and you know this heater is built to last.

• Safety

Inside every Rheem Electric Spa heater is a built-in device to prevent overheating. In the
event the heater is energized when the water flow is insufficient, a resetable high limit will
prevent the heater from operating in an unsafe condition.

• 240v Operation

Both of the Rheem Electric Spa heaters operate with 240v single phase power. The model
552 draws about 23 amps @240v and the model 1102 draws about 46 amps @240v.

• Energy-Efficient

Energy-smart Rheem heaters consistently achieve the highest efficiency ratings. They
exceed all federal and state standards.

Quality assurance

• ISO 9001

We are proud to be an ISO 9001 registered manufacturing plant. It’s one more reason why
Rheem is number one in the heater industry today.

• End-of-Line Test

Every Rheem Electric Spa heater is test-fired before it is put in the carton. This ensures that
your heater will work right out of the box and continue to give you years of trouble-free oper­ation.

• UL Listed

The Rheem Electric Spa heaters are listed with UL and cUL.
