All performance specifications — BTU output, thermal efficiency, Dura-Glas housing, and warranty — are identical. Choose the LP model if you don't have natural gas service at your property. Both can be converted to the other fuel type with a separate orifice kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"padding:14px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600; cursor:pointer; font-size:15px; border:none;\"\u003eWhy 333K BTU — where does this fit in the lineup?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin-top:10px; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eThe Max-E-Therm LP lineup includes 200K, 333K, and 400K BTU sizes. The 333K sits between the 200K and 400K — suited for pools in the 20,000–35,000 gallon range where a heat load calculation falls between those two options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"padding:14px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600; cursor:pointer; font-size:15px; border:none;\"\u003eDoes this heater require professional installation?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin-top:10px; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eYes. Propane heater installation involves connecting to a propane supply line, electrical wiring, and proper venting. A licensed pool contractor or plumber must perform the installation to ensure safety, local code compliance, and warranty validity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"padding:14px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600; cursor:pointer; font-size:15px; border:none;\"\u003eCan it be used indoors?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin-top:10px; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eYes. The Max-E-Therm is rated for both indoor and outdoor installation. Indoor propane installations require proper venting per local code. Consult the install guide and a licensed contractor for indoor venting requirements specific to propane appliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48954905264379,"sku":"SR333LP","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4418\/6107\/files\/14821-available-in-store-only-tradegrade-sta-rite-sr400hd-max-e-therm-hd-low-nox-cu-ni-heater---natural-gas---400k-btu-__94775_40548e03-0e97-4cc2-914b-2626ec0237a7.jpg?v=1780897866","url":"https:\/\/clearflowpoolsupply.com\/products\/pentair-max-e-therm-liquid-propane-pool-spa-heater-333k-btu","provider":"ClearFlow Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
