The Raypak 156A is the perfect choice for larger above ground pools, spas and inground pools. The 156 has up to 50% more BTUs than the competitors above ground pool heaters. More BTUs means quicker heatup. Extend your swim season, open your pool earlier and close it later.

One formula commonly used to calculate propane/gas heater BTU requirements is the following: BTU = (surface area/3) x 100. For an easy estimate, use our pool heater BTU calculator located on our pool heaters page.
Gas heaters (propane or natural gas) heat pool water quickly and can work in any climate. Heat pumps are energy efficient and better suited for regular heating in warmer environments, though they work more slowly because they use outdoor ambient temperature and the heat generated from the pump to heat the pool.
Heating time depends on your pool’s size, heater type, and outside temperature. On average, gas or propane heaters are fast and can raise the temperature by 1–3°F per hour.
