SAFETY
YOUR
FOR
This product must be installed and serviced by authorized personnel, qualified in
pool/spa heater installation. Improper installation and/or operation can create carbon
monoxide gas and flue gases that can cause serious injury
For indoor installations, as an additional measure of safety, Hayward strongly recommends installation of suitable Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors in the vicinity of this appliance and in any adjacent occupied spaces. Improper installation and/or operation will
void the warranty
his manual contains instructions for installation,
T
peration, maintenance, troubleshooting and parts
o
lists for the safe use of the Model H250IDL, H350IDL
and H400IDL Low NOxswimming pool/spa/hot tub
heaters.
Hayward strongly recommends that the manual be
read by the installer before installing the swimming
pool/spa/hot tub heater. If after reviewing the manual,
any questions still remain unanswered, contact the
factory or local representative. Following heater
installation, the installer should leave the manual with
the consumer for future reference.
Hayward heaters:
The H-Series gas-fired pool/spa heater is the
result of nearly 50 years in the engineering and production of the finest water heating equipment. The
direct fired finned-tube design of the pool/spa heaters
is the most advanced in the industry, offering highly
efficient, economical pool/spa heating and scale free
operation. No effort has been spared in making the
most rugged, highly dependable, easy-to-maintain
pool/spa heater available.
The H-Series heaters are suitable only for heating
of swimming pools, spas, or hot tubs. These heaters
should not be used as space heating boilers, general
purpose water heaters, or for heating salt water pools
and fish ponds. When installed and operated in accordance with the manual’s instructions, the H-Series
heater will provide many years of trouble free service
and increased pool/spa enjoyment.
Limited warranty summary:
e warrant the H-Series pool/spa heater to be
W
ree from defects in materials and workmanship, and
f
we will within one year from date of installation for all
users, for the original purchaser, repair or, at our
option, replace without charge any defective part.
We further warrant that if the heat exchanger or
exchanger headers (water-containing section) leak
within one year from date of such installation for all
users, due to defects in materials and workmanship,
we will provide a replacement part.
Under the terms of the special FireTile™ limited
warranty, we will replace any FireTile™ components

Selecting the correct size heater:

desired increase in temperature over ambient temperature, and desired increase in temperature over ambient. A pool/spa in a warm area with little or no wind
will not require as large a heater as one in a cool
windy location. Detailed sizing information is provided
below.
For a swimming pool:
1. Determine pool’s surface area in square feet.
2. Determine desired pool water temperature
3. Determine average air temperature of coldest

greater than the pool’s surface area and the

Figure 2 is based on 3
elevation of up to 2,000 feet above sea level.
When not in use, keep pool covered to
reduce heat loss, chemical usage, and dirt load
on the filtering system.
For a spa or hot tub:
Determine spa capacity in gallons (surface area x
average depth x 71⁄2).
The reference table lists the time required in min-
utes to raise the temperature of the spa/hot by 30ºF,
read to the left and select the appropriate heater
model.
This guide can be adjusted for other temperature
rises. For example, if a 15ºF increase in temperature
is desired, simply divide the time for 30ºF rise by the
ratio of 30/15=2.
NOTE: Heat losses and /or heat absorbed by
spa walls (such as concrete) or other objects will
add to the heat-up time.
Spa sizing is based on an insulated and covered
spa. Always cover spa or hot tub when not in use to
minimize heat loss and evaporation.

note it when signing for it. Remove the equipment
from the carton(s) and advise the carrier of any damages at once.
Important notice:
The instructions herein are intended for the use of
a qualified technician, specifically trained and experienced in the installation of this type of heating equipment. Some states or provinces require that installation be licensed. If this is the case in the state or
province where heater is located, the contractor must
be properly licensed.
WARNING: Failure to comply with the appliance and vent package installation instructions
and service instructions in this manual may result
in equipment damage, fire, asphyxiation, or carbon monoxide poisoning. Exposure to products
of incomplete combustion (carbon monoxide) can
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Conformance with codes:
The heater shall be installed in accordance with all
local and state codes. The heater installation must
conform to the National Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition) and with the requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction. Design Certification of the heater
is in compliance with ANSI Z21.56•CSA4.7.
For Canadian installations, the heater is to be
installed in accordance with the standards CAN/CGA
B149.1 and B149.2 – INSTALLATION CODES FOR
GAS BURNING APPLIANCES AND EQUIPMENT
and/or Local Codes, and if applicable, Standard CSA
C22.1 – CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE, Part 1.
Sea Level/high altitude installation:
The H-Series heaters may be installed up to 2,000
feet of elevation above sea level.
Location of heater:
Locate the pool/spa heater in an area where leak
age of heat exchanger or connections will not result
in damage to the area adjacent to the heater or to the
structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it
recommended that a suitable drain pan, with drain
outlet, be installed under the heater. The pan must
not restrict air flow
This heater must be installed at least five feet from
the inside wall of a pool/spa unless separated from
the pool/spa by a solid barrier
installed also at least five feet from the wall of an
above-ground pool.
The heater must be installed such that the location

or left side. Heaters are shipped from the factory with
the water connections on the right side. To bring the
water connections to the left side, follow step-by-step
instructions below and refer to the illustration in
Figure 5. These procedures should be performed by
a trained service technician before the heater is
installed.
1.Remove four (hot) vent screws and remove
panel.
2.Remove heater top.
3.Remove screws from left and right side
access panels. Remove panels.
4.Remove the front panel.
5.Disconnect high limit wires and reroute them
to opposite side of heater. Disconnect the
thermistor leads from control panel and pull
through intermediate panel.
6.Remove pressure switch and tube.
7.Remove 12 nuts retaining front header and
carefully remove header.
CAUTION: By-pass and thermal governor may
become dislodged when removing front heater. They
must be reinstalled properly prior to reinstallation of
front header.
CAUTION: Header O-ring may be re-used if not
permanently deformed. if installing new O-rings,
Jack’s 327 Lube may be liberally applied to O-ring to
keep it in place during header installation.
8.Remove four screws retaining air deflector,

If more than one appliance is installed on the gas line,
consult the local gas company for the proper gas line size.
Any questions concerning the installation of the
proper gas line size can be directed to Hayward

NATURAL GAS
The gas meter must have the capacity to supply
enough gas to the pool heater and any other gas
appliances if they are on the same pipeline (Example:
225 meter = 225,000 BTUH). If doubt exists as to the
meter size, consult local gas utility for assistance.
Hayward will not be responsible for heaters that soot

in improper gas volume.
PROPANE GAS
All Propane gas tanks must be located outdoors
and away from pool/spa structure and in accordance
with the standard for storage and handling of propane
gas, ANSI/NFPA 58 (latest edition) and applicable
local codes. If propane gas tank is installed underground, the discharge of the regulator vent must be
above the highest probable water level.
Propane tanks must have sufficient capacity to
provide adequate vaporization for the full capacity of
the equipment at the lowest expected temperatures.
Consult a propane company expert for correct sizing.
NOTE: Whenever a high-pressure double regulation system is utilized for propane gas, consult a
propane professional for accurate pipe and pressure
sizing. Make sure that 1
