Q: What material is the tube bundle made of?
A: It features cupro-nickel (copper-nickel alloy) construction for superior durability and corrosion resistance.

Q: Why choose a copper-nickel heat exchanger?
A: Copper-nickel offers enhanced resistance to chemical corrosion and saltwater, making it ideal for demanding pool environments.

Q: What components are included in the kit?
A: The bundle includes a baffle, flange nut kit, and two O-ring gaskets for complete installation.

Q: Is this an OEM (original) Raypak part?
A: Yes, it is a genuine OEM Raypak replacement part, ensuring proper fit and reliable performance.

Q: Does this part fit ASME commercial heaters?
A: No, it is designed for residential models with polymer headers and is not interchangeable with ASME commercial units.

Q: Can this replace a standard copper tube bundle?
A: Yes, it can replace compatible copper bundles, offering better longevity and corrosion resistance.

Maintenance Tips

• Maintain balanced water chemistry: Keep pH and alkalinity in range—acidic water is the #1 cause of corrosion and premature tube failure in copper-nickel exchangers.
• Prevent scale buildup: Regularly inspect and flush the tube bundle to avoid mineral deposits that reduce heat transfer efficiency.
• Ensure proper water flow: Clean filters and verify pump performance—restricted flow can overheat and damage the tube bundle.
• Inspect O-rings & gaskets: Replace worn seals (included with the bundle) to prevent leaks and maintain system pressure.
• Check for debris & fouling: Remove dirt, leaves, or biofilm that can clog internal passages and reduce efficiency.
• Avoid chemical overfeeding: High chlorine or chemical spikes accelerate metal degradation—even with cupronickel construction.
• Use correct compatibility: Confirm fit with PR265A, PR266, PR267A models with polymer headers only to avoid installation issues.
• Schedule annual professional inspection: Especially important for detecting early leaks or internal wear in the heat exchanger assembly.
