Hayward Universal H-Series 400,000 BTU Natural Gas Pool and Spa Heater Low NOx W3H400FDN
Description
The Hayward Universal H-Series 400,000 BTU natural gas heater is the highest-output model in the standard H-Series, an energy-efficient, high-performance heater for new or existing in-ground pools and spas. Its industry-leading hydraulic design cuts circulation pump run time and can deliver energy savings of up to 18 percent compared to less efficient competitors. A standard cupro-nickel heat exchanger gives excellent resistance to salt water and chemical corrosion, and Hayward Totally Managed water flow keeps the same water velocity through every tube for faster, more even heating. A patented header bypass design and a forced-draft system that moves air through the combustion chamber at a precise rate round out the package, with no high-wind stack required. It is a Low NOx model that meets clean air quality standards.
