Why it matters
The Hayward H-Series 150,000 BTU Gas Pool Heater is a gas pool heater rated at 150,000 BTU. Before heat losses, that output would raise a 20,000-gallon pool by 10°F in about 11 hours.
Gas heaters heat fast in any weather and suit occasional use or cool shoulder seasons; the gas line and venting are jobs for a licensed installer.
The listing gives dimensions of 29.5 x 19 x 24 inches and a weight of 145 pounds.
