Teledyne Spa Heater ? Tgs-50

[BigJim_610]

I came acrcross a good purchase, a Teledyne Telstar TGS-50 spa heater and have some questions. Yes I have searched the WWW.

It is setup for nat gas, can I switch orfices to make it run on Propane? Do I need to switch out the gas valve? Are parts available? (no)

How many BTUs is the rated output?

What is the minimum flow required?

If I cannot easily switch it to Propane I will sell it.

Thanks all.

That is a old heater. Some parts are still available but who knows for how long. Yes you would need to change the gas valve and orfices. These heaters were last made in 1999. If the name plate is still in it should have the BTU rating. Flow rates are determined by pump and plumbing but most 1 hp pumps will operate the heater
