How do I change a Pool Heater from natural gas to propane?

Maintenance Repairs 6 Comments »
Madeline S asked:


We have a Minimax 150 pool heater that currently runs off of natural gas. We would like to convert it to use propane. Originally we believed that we would only need to replace the orifices. Recently, however, we contacted a Minimax part dealer who stated that we would need a new burner, valve and orifices to the tune of 400 dollars. Is this correct and if not what do we need to do to convert our heater to use propane?

there is no natural gas here!

We are looking to buy a used gas pool heater, but want to use propane. I have read that you can easily buy a part and to convert it, but I don’t know if this is for ALL heaters. Its a 250,000 btu Hayward heater. Any help would be great.
