Hayward Universal HC Series 400,000 BTU Pool and Spa Heater (dual fuel)
Universal HC Series dual-fuel technology gas heaters are uniquely engineered for use with Hayward® plumbing adapters, making them an easy drop-in replacement for other heater brands. The heat exchanger is made from cupro-nickel for added reliability, and the easy-out air/gas mixing orifice makes propane conversion fast and simple. The small footprint with zero wall clearance fits in even the most compact equipment pads, while the refined gas controls and remote connectivity provide a simple user experience with added service convenience.

McKenna's tip:
"Forced draft heaters are fan assisted which allows them to be vented through a sidewall as opposed to straight venting through a roof when installed indoors. A digital temperature reading, saltwater ready and the ability to connect to automation are also great benefits."
