HEATER OPERATION
The control system may be supplied with one of three different
heater configurations: 5.5kw electric, 11kw electric or Gas
Heater Ready. In all cases a Gas heater circuit has been
provided in the event a gas heater is to be used to “boost” the
heat output of the system.
For reference a covered 300 gallon spa will heat at a rate
described below based on the heater wattage used.
5.5kw (5500w) - A heat rise of 6-8°F can be expected
11kw (11,000w) - A heat rise of 12-16°F can be expected
Gas Heater - Heat rise varies based on wattage of gas heater
(5.5kw = 18766 BTU/hr)
