Features

All models

• PolyTuf Textured Powder Coating

The Rheem gas heater has a polyester-coated, non-corrosive cabinet that is more
durable than solventborne- and waterborne-coated metal cabinets. Every piece of
sheet metal goes through a 7-stage wash system, making certain the powder
paint has a perfect bond. Underneath the tough, yet beautiful finish you will find
galvanized metal that offers superior rust prevention and years of durable
service.

• Wind-Resistant Design

No need for fans to combat drafting problems. This heater is designed to draft
naturally in outdoor installations with its exclusive low-profile design. It is so
thoughtfully and carefully designed it actually protects itself from the things that
tend to stifle ordinary pool and spa heaters. It delivers uninterrupted heating
performance r
updrafts, sleet, snow, etc.

• Polymer Headers

Polymer headers prevent rust stains from harming your pool’s surface, giving you
years of trouble-free swimming pleasure.

• All-Copper

The fin tubes of the heat exchanger are each made from a single piece of extruded
copper
maintained. Cupro-nickel is also available as an optional upgrade.

• Stainless Steel T

Stainless steel tube sheets are used on all Rheem gas heaters. This allows for a
completely nonferrous waterway, leaving your pool truly rust-fr

• CPVC 2" Water Connections

Standard with every Rheem is a set of 2" slip-fit CPVC water connections to make
your installation secure and effortless.

• Condensation Protection

The Unitherm Governor helps reduce condensation from low inlet water
temperatures. It automatically regulates the water flow to help keep the water
temperature in the heat exchanger above 105°F
water flow rate are controlled to eliminate condensation, sooting, and scale
build-up that can shorten heater life.

• High Flow Rates

The Rheem gas heater comes with an automatic bypass built into the header.
Y

ou'll find that the heater is capable of handling water flow at a rate up to 125

gpm.

• Burner T

Every burner tray is built to last, from the stainless steel burners to the
aluminized metal used in the heat sensitive areas. Innovative design allows for
the easy removal of the tray and burners for servicing.

• Fire T

A ceramic fiber combustion box keeps your heater running efficiently while
keeping the outside jacket cool. By using this space-age material the heater
won't retain residual heat after it is turned of
the use of costly metal heat sinks.

• Fuel-Efficient

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