TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
The new Raypak series RP2100 pool heaters have been designed to eliminate
the need for conventional heat sinks (high temperature piping). The initial
connection to the heater is made with a 2" PVC union adapter to which PVC
may then be connected with appropriate cement.
This newly authorized piping arrangement is described in the installation
manual provided by Raypak, and has been successfully tested by Raypak to
assure its acceptability.

SECTION 1 / START-UP PROCEDURES
Your Raypak Pool/Spa heater has been designed for years of safe and reliable pool/spa water heating. It is
available in millivolt or electronic control options. ASME certified units, typical used in commercial applications,
are also available. This manual provides operation, installation, maintenance, and service information for these
heaters.
If your heater has been installed correctly, operating the heater is an easy task. The upper front panel of the
heater contains the control center that allows you to turn the heater on or off and adjust the temperature settings
for the pool or spa. The temperature range is 65°F (18°C) to 104°F (40°C). The heater with the electronic control
option also has a manual switch located on the right cabinet side to allow you to turn the heater off. Section 4
contains more details about the use of the controls in the Controls Adjustments/Replacements sub-section.
BEFORE START-UP
BURNERS
Clean main burners, combustion fan and air louvers
of dust, lint and debris. Keep heater area clear and free
from combustibles, flammable liquids and chemicals. Do
not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilating air.

Fig. # 8205.2
MAIN BURNER FLAME
Elevated water temperature can be hazardous, and
the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends the following guidelines:
1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never
exceed 104°F (40°C). A temperature of 100°F (38°C)
is considered safe for a healthy adult. Special
caution is suggested for young children.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa
or hot tub use can cause drowsiness which could
lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in
drowning.
3. Pregnant Women Beware! Soaking in water over
102°F (39°C) can cause fetal damage during the first
three months of pregnancy resulting in the birth of a
brain-damaged or deformed child. Pregnant women
should stick to the 100°F (38°C) maximum rule.
4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should
check the water temperature with an accurate ther-
mometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in
regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F
(2.2°C).
Fig. # 8964.1
PILOT BURNER FLAME
A yellow or "floating" flame indicates restricted air
openings or incorrect orifice size. Should this occur,
shut the heater off and contact your installer or gas
supplier.
WATER PRESSURE SWITCH
A water pressure switch is provided in the heater to
shut off the burners in the event that water supply to the
heater is interrupted. It is very important to verify that
the switch electrically opens and shuts off the gas valve
when water flow to the heater is interrupted. Otherwise,
rapid and severe damage will likely occur to the heater.
(The water pressure switch should be checked and
adjusted for proper operation by a qualified service
person at the time of installation and periodically
checked thereafter. Refer to pressure switch servicing
instruction in Section 4 of this manual).
WARNING: Operation of the heater without water circulation will cause rapid and severe damage to the heater.
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease,
circulatory problems, diabetes, or blood pressure
problems should obtain a physician's advice before
using pools or hot tubs.
6. Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines, or anticoagulant, should not use spas or hot tubs.
SECTION 3/MAINTENANCE AND
CARE PROCEDURES
To be followed one month after start-up and then
semi-annually.
1. Inspect top of heater and drafthood for soot, a sticky
black substance around finned tubes and "V"
baffles), and open flue gas passage ways. Any visible
soot should be cleaned for proper operation.
CAUTION: Soot may be combustible. Wet sooted
surfaces completely prior to cleaning. Do not use steel
wire brush.
2. Clean main burners and pilot burner of dust and lint.
3. Inspect and operate all controls, gas valve and
pressure relief valve.
7
4. Make visual check of the burner and pilot flame.
Flame pattern on the main burner and pilot is indicated in the previous illustration. Yellow flame
means restriction of the air openings. Lifting or
blowing flame indicates high gas pressure. Low
flame means low gas pressure. Should this occur,
shut the heater off and contact your gas supplier or
qualified service agency.
5. On indoor heaters, clean room intake openings to
assure adequate flow of combustion and ventilation
air.
AUTOMATIC CHLORINATORS AND CHEMICAL FEEDERS
All chemicals must be introduced and completely
diluted into the pool or spa water before being circulated
through the heater. Do not place chlorine tablets or
bromine sticks in the skimmer. High chemical concentrations will result when the pump is not running (i.e.
overnight).
Chlorinators must feed downstream of the heater and
have an anti-siphoning device to prevent chemical backup into the heater when the pump is shut off.
CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated by
corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater
and void the warranty.
6. Keep area around heater clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable and
corrosive vapors and liquids.
BASIC TIPS IF HEATER WILL NOT FIRE:
1. If you have no electrical power; it may be your "circuit
breakers" have tripped. Try re-setting them.
2 If you have electrical power but the heater will not fire
check the following:
3. The time clock must be moved to the "ON" position.
4. Your pump strainer basket may be full. If so remove
debris.
5. Your filter may be dirty. If so, backwash or clean
filter. (To tell if your filter is dirty, look to see if the
filter pressure will be higher than usual).
6. The pump may have lost it's prime. It may be running dry, check the pressure on the filter. If there is
no pressure; then you are not moving water (or your
gauge is broken). Try to get the pump to run at it's
normal flow rate.
NOTE: High chemical concentrates from feeders and
chlorinators that are out of adjustment will cause very
rapid corrosion to the heat exchanger. Such damage is
not covered under the warranty.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
MODERATE CLIMATE: Heater operation can continue
during short term cold spells. When temperatures are
below freezing, flow (continuous pump operation) must
be maintained.
CAUTION: Do not use the heater to maintain water
temperatures just above freezing or for freeze protection.
When heater is used during freezing weather, care must
be taken to avoid freeze ups. Continuous pump operation is a must. Additional protection may be required.
The heater is not warranted against freeze ups.
COLD CLIMATE: Prolonged operation with water temperatures below 50°F is not recommended. When
starting the heater with pool temperatures below 50°F
operate the heater continuously until higher temperatures are reached. Operating the heater for prolonged
periods with pool water below 50°F can seriously damage
the heater, and is not covered by the warranty.
For cold climate areas, please follow the winterizing
procedures listed.
POOL & SPA WATER CHEMISTRY
Chemical imbalance can cause severe damage to
your heater and associated equipment. Maintain your
water pH between 7.4 and 7.8 and total alkalinity between
100 and 150 p.p.m. If the mineral content and dissolved
solids in the water become too high, scale forms inside
the heat exchanger tubes, reducing heater efficiency and
also damaging the heater. If the pH drops below 7.2, the
heater will be severely damaged. This will result in
corrosion of the heat exchanger. Heat exchanger
damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not
covered by the warranty.
8
WINTERIZING THE POOL & SPA HEATER
When heaters installed outdoors in freezing climate
areas are to be shut down for the winter, observe the
following step-by-step procedure:
1. Turn off gas valve, manual gas valve, and
electrical supply to the heater.
2. Open drain plug located on the inlet/outlet
header, (under water pipes). Remove the heat
exchanger inspection panel on the side opposite water piping to gain access to the drain
plug on the return header. Open drain plug on
return header.

SECTION 3 / INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTICE
These instructions are intended for the use of qualified personnel only, specifically trained and experienced
in the installation of this type of heating equipment and
related system components. Installation and service
personnel may be required by some states to be licensed.
If your state is such, be sure your contractor bears the
appropriate license. Persons not qualified shall not
attempt to fix this equipment nor attempt repairs according to these instructions.
WARNING:
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance may damage the equipment,
create a hazard resulting in asphyxiation, explosion or
fire, and will void the warranty.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: The heater should not be located in an area
where possible water leakage will result in damage to
the area adjacent to the appliance or to the structure.
When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained,
be installed under the appliance. The pan must not
restrict combustion air flow.
Installation must be in accordance with local codes,
or, in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and for Canada, the
latest edition of CAN/CGA-B149.1 and B149.2, and
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1 and Part
2.
BASE INSTALLATION
Heater must be mounted on a level base, such as

When installed according to the listed minimum
clearances from combustible construction materials, the
Raypak pool heaters can still be serviced without removing permanent structural construction around the heater.
However for ease of servicing, we recommend a
clearance of at least 24" in the front, and at least 18" on
the water connection side. This will enable the heater to
be serviced in its installed location, that is, without
movement or removal of the heater.
Clearances less than these (6" minimum), may
require removal of the heater to service either the heat
exchanger or the burner tray. In either case, the heater
must be installed in a manner that will enable the heater
to be serviced without removing any structure around the
heater.
OUTDOOR HEATERS
These heaters are design certified for outdoor
installation, when equipped with the approved tops designated for outdoor use.
WARNING: The heater shall not be located in an area
where water sprinklers, or other devices, may cause
water to spray through the cabinet louvers and into the
heater. This could cause internal rusting or damage
some electrical components, and this would void the
warranty.
