Pentair MiniMax® Low NOx Commercial Pool Heater

Low NOx Commercial Pool Heater

The MiniMax Low NOx Commercial Pools Heater

Pentair cares about the enviroment, and we continue to do our part in protecting the world around us fron unnecessary pollutants. As one of the leading pool equipment manufacturers int he world, we understand that pool systems are designed to enhance Mother Nature's beauty. And that's why Pentair created the Low NOx commercial pool heater. It has the same footprint and design as our popular MiniMax model, and maintains very low Nitrous Oxide emissions without ever sacrificingefficiency and performance.

On January 1, 2000, the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the Ventura County Air Quality District announced that any and all pool heaters manufactured for commercial and residential use in Orange County and Riverside counties, must meet all low-content Nitrous Oxide requirements for Southern California.

Furthermore, the AQMD declared that every commercial and residential pool heater from 400,000 to 1,000,000 BTU's in these countries must be replaced with a Low NOx-approved heater by January 1st of 2006.

Inorder to meet these requirements, Pentair developed the Low NOx commercial pool heater. The Low NOx commercial pool heater. The Low NOx is identical to our regular commercial heater except for the burner tray which has been modified to meet Rule 1146.2 of the South Coast AQMD regulations. This enviromentally friendly, highly efficient commercial pool heater improves combustion, allowing significantly fewer pollutants into the atmosphere.

The Low NOx OVO burner is designed to control combustion for cleaner emissions, giving off less than therty parts per million Nitrous Oxide. It's hot surface igniter is made from purity recrystallized silicon carbide, designed for long-term reliablity and optimum performance. A blower forces clean air into the burner for better combustion and reduced NOx emissions.

The Low NOx heater continuously monitors negative pressure within the fan housing through an air pressure switch. The switchis located within the ignition module circuit, which does not function unless al switches are closed. Pentair's Low NOx heater also features a low gas pressure switch. The unit automatically shuts down if the gas supply drops below required factory settings.

Pentair Low NOx commercial heaters are available in 525,000, 750,000, and 900,000 BTU's. If your commercial pool system falls under the AQMD requirements for Southern California, the Low NOx heater will provide you with reliable, AQMD-approved service for many years. The Pentair Low NOx has been engineered to preserve the enviroment without compromising efficiency or performance, and ech unit comes with a factory warranty for up to five years. Protect your business and the enviroment with Pentair's Low NOx commercial pool heater.
