I'm planning to replace an ancient and inefficient gas-fired pool heater (120,000 BThU/hr input, 84,000 output(!)) with a slightly larger (130,000 BThU/hr input, 122,000 output) condensing one. The existing heater is about 75 metres from the gas meter and pressure regulator in the house and is connected with 3/4" galvanised gas barrel. Is this likely to be of sufficient capacity to run the proposed new heater? I suspect that the pipework may be theoretically inadequate even for the existing heater, though it seems to work well enough. Many thanks in advance.
