872. Sales: How to determine the correct replacement Inline Bath Heater?

To help determine the correct inline bath heater for your jetted bathtub, you will need to consider the following things: 1) Power: Is the dedicated GFCI outlet rated 110V or 220V? And is the GFCI rated 15A or 220V? 2) Location to install the Inline Bath Heater. a. Replacing An Existing In-Line Bath Heater: Determine if the current inline bath heater is installed on the suction (vacuum) side of the bath pump, or on the discharge (pressure) side of the bath pump. Then select the inline bath heater with either Vacuum or Pressure Switch (after verification). b. New Inline Bath Heater for A Jetted Bathtub that does not have a bath heater: Determine the location where there is plenty of space and best access to install the inline bath heater. Then determine if that location is on the suction (vacuum) side of the bath pump, or on the discharge (pressure) side of the bath pump. Then select the inline bath heater with either Vacuum or Pressure Switch (after verification). *See Link that shows the installation diagram for Vacuum and Pressure Switch locations: http://www.spaguts.com/images/products/In-Line_Install_diagram.JPG **If a T-Style bath heater is needed, check out our T-Style bath heater web pages. Note that a T-Style Bath Heater is meant to be installed directly on top of the pump discharge, and screws directly onto the discharge threaded fitting. 3) Plumbing Size: Determine if the existing plumbing size is 2.0", 1.5", 1.0" or 0.75" (inside diameter of the PVC pipe, not from the fittings). Then select the bath heater with correct plumbing size fittings. (Note that certain inline bath heaters only provides some fittings. Confirm on the web page which fittings are included) 4) Length of Inline Bath Heater: Inline bath heaters are currently available in 7.0 inches or 5.5 inches. Check to see if there is plenty of space to fit one of these size inline bath heaters.
