Identifying the Sta-Rite pool heater model

[Paxcou]

I would like to replace the Sta-Rite pool heater with the exact same model as the pipes will not need be adjusted much.
Unfortunately, the model number is not visible anymore. Do you know another way to identify the right model ? Thanks !

All you need to know is if this is for Natural gas or Propane. Then you have two BTU options, 200K or 400K.

There could also be a label on the side so the unit that shows you the serial number and other info.

There is a third size, 333K. All are the same dimensions.

That's an oddball size and why I didn't mention it. The most common are the 200's and 400's.

For some reason, in California (at least my area) we see them all the time. I guess I answered my own question, "in California."
This is one weird state.

Is the Heater Natural Gas or Propane?

Try and find other labels as suggested above.

If you can't then post pics of the gas line into the heater and measure the outside diameter of the pipes. The specs in the chart below are inside diameters and we can figure out what you are piped for from the OD.

Return the warranty registration card after filling in the serial number from the rating plate inside the heater

Thank you so much everyone, i have a bit of homework to do but definitely great direction.
It's natural gas by the way.

I want to save good money by installing the sale.one bit is it still a good pool heater or the saving I make on the installation may not be worth it ?

Keep the critters out and your pool water chems in line and it will last a long time.

I have measured the diameter of the pipe going in the pool heater and it's 1" and 1/2. I believe based on your document I have the 400. What do you think ?
