PolyTuf Textured Powder Coating
The
Rheem gas heater has a polyester-coated, non-corrosive cabinet that is
more durable than solvent-borne 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 under normal conditions. 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 regardless of falling leaves, wind, airborne debris, rain,
downdrafts, updrafts, sleet, snow, etc.
Polymer Headers
Prevent rust stains from harming your pool or spa’s surface, giving you years of trouble-free swimming pleasure.
All-Copper-Fin-Tube Heat Exchanger
The
fin tubes of the heat exchanger are each made from a single piece of
extruded copper. This integral-fin design allows maximum heat transfer
to be attained and maintained. Rheem also uses thick stainless steel
tube sheets for robust construction and rust free operation.
Controls
The
106 is available standard with an easy to use analog dial. The
electronic ignition system requires external power (120VAC or 240VAC)
and generates a pilot only when there is a call for heat. Units come
with a 3 foot, 3 prong power cord.
2” Water Connections
Supplied with every Rheem 106 heater is a set of 2" flange connections to make your installation secure and effortless.
Automatic Bypass
The
Rheem 106 comes standard with a built in water bypass so it can handle
different GPM’s without having to adjust your flow rates manually. The
bypass also helps keep a constant engineered flow through the tubes to
help reduce condensation caused by cold water.
Burner Tray
Every
burner tray is built to last, from the stainless steel burner deck to
the aluminized metals used in the heat sensitive areas. Innovative
design allows for the easy removal of the tray for servicing.
Fire Tile
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 off, allowing
it to be installed without the use of costly metal heat sinks.
