Aquascape fire features can operate using propane or natural gas when configured for the selected fuel. Propane is generally better for flexibility and simpler installation, while natural gas is more convenient for permanent installations and frequent use.
Propane
Advantages:
- Uses replaceable propane cylinders without requiring a permanent gas line.
- Generally simpler and less expensive to install.
- Better for locations without natural-gas service.
- More flexibility if the fire feature needs to be relocated.
Disadvantages:
- Propane cylinders must be refilled or replaced.
- Fuel may run out during use.
Natural gas
Advantages:
- Provides a continuous fuel supply without changing propane cylinders.
- Convenient for frequently used fire features.
- Well suited for permanent installations.
Disadvantages:
- Requires an available natural-gas supply and suitable gas-line connection.
- Installation is generally more involved and may cost more.
- Limits the ability to relocate the fire feature.
Can I switch from propane to natural gas?
Compatible Aquascape fire features can be configured for natural gas using the correct components and instructions for the specific model.
Natural-gas conversion and gas-line installation should be performed by a qualified gas service professional. Always follow the installation manual for your specific Aquascape fire feature. Never connect a propane-configured burner directly to a natural-gas supply without the required conversion.
