TO TURN GAS OFF TO APPLIANCE

1. Turn off all electrical power to the appliance.

2. Turn off gas tap in gas line prior to heater.

CHEMICAL BALANCE

It is imperative that correct chemical balance be maintained in your pool and spa water, otherwise
corrosion of your heater may occur. Corrosion of the heat exchanger voids warranty. Your
local pool shop specialist or spa retailer can advise correct chemical balance. Your water should
be checked and maintained regularly by a pool water professional. As a guide the following
parameters may be used.

pH 7.6 to 7.8
Total Alkalinity 80 to 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness 150 to 250 ppm
Salinity 4000ppm max. Excessive salt can damage your heater.

You should test your water chemical balance at least on a weekly basis.

Excessive sanitiser can damage your heater. Chlorine should not exceed 3 ppm and bromine
should not exceed 5 ppm. Salt chlorinators, especially when used on spa pools or indoor or
covered pools, can easily produce excessive chlorine levels which will damage the heater
internals.

HX Pool and Spa Heater Page 5

CORROSION PREVENTION IN HEATERS

All pool and spa heaters use copper or copper nickel to make their heat exchangers as it is the
most efficient material in transferring heat from the combustion chamber into the water. The
typical life expectancy of a well maintained pool/spa heater is between 8 and 15 years.

Often the same heat exchanger used in residential and commercial boilers and hot water systems
will have a life expectancy of 20 years.

The addition of sanitisers (Chlorine, Bromine etc) and other water balancing and conditioning
chemicals can increase the rate of wear and tear on the heat exchanger and associated parts in your
heater.

There are three most common reasons for heat exchanger corrosion which can be avoided with a
little care and attention.

1. Excessive Sanitiser. This means too much Chlorine or Bromine in the water. Be careful, if
the level of Chlorine or Bromine is excessively high your test kit (and the pool shops) may not
read accurately or indeed may show a nil reading. Any time a salt chlorinator is operating for
extended periods, (when heating the swimming pool from cold), particularly if the weather is
overcast or the pool enclosed or covered, the Chlorine level may exceed normal levels. When
heating a Spa Pool, turn the chlorinator down or off for the duration of the heating period.

2. Out of balance water. The water balance is a combination of pH, total alkalinity, Calcium
hardness and temperature. These measurements must be at the correct levels to maintain balanced
water and effective sanitation of your pool. Balanced water will help prevent corrosion of your
heater. Balanced water should be between 7.2 - 7.8 pH.

3. The addition of acid to lower pH. Acid must always be added in small quantities and spread
over the pool surface evenly, not added in to the skimmer. Do not add a litre at a time, add a
cupful each day to lower your pH.

4. Never add chemicals to skimmer - dilute and circulate as far away as possible from skimmer.

If you have a salt chlorinated INDOOR pool or COVERED pool be very careful of the level of
Chlorine being produced. If you use a salt chlorinated spa be very careful of the level of Chlorine
as the Chlorinator is usually sized for the pool and therefore should be switched off when heating
the spa. Leaving the chlorinator on can raise the chlorine level very rapidly in a small volume of
water.

These comments are intended as a guide only and are not definitive answers or recommendations
on pool water chemistry. Hurlcon’s intention is to provide a little understanding of the potential
problems of water chemistry and the dangers of corrosion to heaters (and other pool equipment
and fittings).

You should always seek the advice of your local pool shop professional and provide him with as
much information and feedback as possible when analysing your pool and spa water and
obviously be sure to tell him you have a heater connected to the system even though it may not be
in constant use.

YOUR WATER SHOULD BE ADJUSTED & BALANCED PRIOR TO ANY CORRODED
PARTS BEING REPLACED.

DIGITAL THERMOSTAT OPERATION

DESCRIPTION

The sophisticated digital thermostat provides temperature read out, set point temperature and
operating status of the heater. The electronic display indicates the operational status of the heater
and any fault conditions.

TEMPERATURE DISPLAY

The temperature display indicates water temperature in the inlet of the heater. Therefore the pump
must be operating for an accurate pool or spa water temperature to be displayed.

Comfortable pool temperature is between 26˚C and 30˚C. Normal spa temperature is between
36˚C and 38˚C. To select your desired temperature press the up or down button repeatedly until
the desired temperature is reached.

To prevent rapid cycling of the heater, the thermostat has an inbuilt time delay which prevents the
heater from turning on for two minutes after the set point has been reached. If the time delay is
activated, the symbol “L” will be displayed. This is part of normal operation.

The thermostat can be set to temperatures between 10˚C and 40˚C. It also incorporates several
safety features including a 45˚C high limit function to prevent overheating of the pool or spa. On
simultaneous shut down of the circulating pump and heater, the water within the heater may
exceed 45˚C for a short period. If the pump and heater are restarted during this period, the
thermostat will go into a standby mode and prevent the heater from relighting until the
temperature within the heater has dropped below the set temperature.

Should the thermostat fail to stop the heater at the set point or at 40˚C, there are three temperature
limiting safety devices designed to lock the heater out and prevent further heating. A lock out
condition is indicated by the symbols F1 or F2. To reset a lock out condition, turn the power off
for five seconds.

MAINTENANCE

It is recommended that you check the following at least every six months and at the beginning of
every swimming season.

1. Examine the balanced flue or indoor draught diverter. Make sure there are no obstructions to
the flow of air to, or flue products from, the appliance.

2. Visually check the burner flames. If the flame appears yellow, the burner should be cleaned
by a qualified service technician.

3. Keep the heater area clear and free of combustibles and flammable liquids. Chlorine should
not be stored in the vicinity of the heater. Chlorine vapours, when drawn through a heater, can
rapidly cause corrosion of the heat exchanger.

4. Keep the heater area free from garden refuse and debris. This will help prevent insects nesting
in the unit and ensure extended life and reliability of your heater.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

1. If possible, keep pool or spa covered when not in use. This will not only cut heating costs, but
will also keep dirt and debris from settling in the pool and conserve chemicals.

2. Reduce pool thermostat setting to 28˚C or lower. This is accepted as a comfortable and
healthy swimming temperature.

3. Use an accurate thermometer.

4. Set timeclock to start filtration and circulation system no earlier than daybreak. The pool loses
less heat at this time.

5. For pools that are only used on weekends, it is not necessary to leave the thermostat set at
28˚C. During the week, lower it by an amount that can easily be achieved in one day
(generally 5˚C to 8˚C).

6. During the winter or while on vacation, turn the heater off.

7. Set up a regular program of preventative maintenance for the heater each new swimming
season. Check heat exchanger, controls, burner operation etc.

WINTER OPERATION

If the pool won’t be used for a month or more, turn the heater off at the main gas valve. For areas
where there is no danger of freezing, water should circulate through your heater all year long even
though you are not heating your pool.

Where freezing is possible, it is necessary to drain the water from the heater. This may be done by
loosening the inlet or outlet barrel union. If the heater is below water level, isolate it from the pool
first by closing shut off valves before and after the heater.

CAUTION: If the heater has been drained for freezing conditions, do not turn on until the system
is circulating water.

INSTALLATION

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORISED PERSON. Refer to heater
data plate for specifications of gas type, gas consumption, burner pressure and water pressure.

This appliance must be installed in accordance with local regulations and A.G.A. Installation Code
AG 601.

FLOW RATES

The Hurlcon Pool Heater requires a minimum of 150 litres per minute flow and the maximum
permissible flow rate is 450 litres per minute. For flow rates in excess of 450 litres per minute, an
external by-pass valve must be fitted.

WATER CONNECTIONS

The heater should always be installed after the pump and filter. The water connections are located
on the right hand side of the heater. Left hand connection models are available by special order.
The inlet and outlet are clearly marked. Water connections require 40 mm PVC glue in plumbing.

All automatic sanitising devices must be installed after the heater and in such a way that the
sanitiser cannot enter the heater without first mixing with the water in the pool or spa. Sanitisers
that are connected prior to the heater will void heater warranty.

The Hurlcon Pool Heater incorporates a balanced flue terminal and is suitable for outdoor
installation.

INDOOR INSTALLATION

If the HX Heater is to be installed indoors, an indoor draught hood kit must be purchased from
Hurlcon and installed on the HX Heater to convert it to an indoor model.

Product code numbers for draught hood kits are:

Heater model Indoor top model Flue size Part number
HX 70 DH 07 125 mm 10133
HX 120 DH 12 125 mm 10134

A flue no smaller than the draught diverter diameter must be installed and terminated with an
approved gas flue cowl (not a Chinaman’s hat) 600mm above any roofline that is within 1.5
metres horizontally from the flue.

VENTILATION
When installing the heater indoors, it is imperative that an adequate supply of fresh air is provided
for combustion. Failure to provide adequate ventilation voids all warranties and may be a danger
to persons or property.

Two permanent openings shall be provided directly to outside. The openings shall be located to
ensure the distance between the top of the upper opening and the ceiling of the room or enclosure,
and the distance between the bottom of the lower opening and the floor of the room or enclosure
does not exceed 5% of the height of the room or enclosure.

HX Pool and Spa Heater Page 11

The following diagram is provided as a guide only. All flueing and installation work must be
carried out by an authorized person. Flueing must conform to local regulations and to A.G.A.
installation code AG 601. Care must be taken to provide the correct ventilation and correct
flueing materials in close proximity to combustible surfaces.

An indoor draught diverter must be purchased from Hurlcon and fitted to unit in
accordance with Hurlcon’s Instructions and Installation Codes before the heater can be
enclosed.

Do not install spa blowers in the same room as a gas heater. This is potentially dangerous to
spa users.

Do not store chemicals or fuel in the same room as the gas heater. This may cause fire or
explosion. When installing in a garage the HX Heater must be installed 450 mm above floor
level.

CLEARANCES

The heater must be installed at least 500 mm from any combustible surface. Clearances must
comply with AG 601.

Clearances from non combustible surfaces are:

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The heater is supplied with a standard 10 amp 3 pin plug for connection to a 240V 10 amp GPO.
The heater incorporates a 240/24 VAC transformer which supplies power to the control circuit.
All pool or spa equipment connected to mains power should be protected by an RCD circuit
breaker. It is recommended, where possible that the heater is connected to the same time clock or
power supply as the circulating pump.

GAS CONNECTION

The gas connection is on the rear of the heater. A 15 mm F.I. connection is provided for gas line
connection. An approved manual shut off valve must be installed in the gas fitting line before the
heater and should be sized the same as the gas fitting line to prevent excessive pressure drop in the
gas pipe.

The gas fitting line should be installed by an authorised person and comply with local regulations
and A.G.A. code AG 601. The gas line from the meter will usually be of a larger size than the gas
inlet connection. Therefore a reduction to the heater connection fitting will be necessary. The
reduction should be as close to the heater as possible.

Before using the heater, test all connections for leaks using soapy water.

The heater gas valve has a built in pressure regulator and ⅛” pressure test point. On starting the
heater, a manometer must be used and burner pressure checked against the heater data plate. The
gas valve regulator may need to be adjusted to correct manifold pressure. Incorrect burner
pressure may void warranty.

PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT

The Hurlcon Pool Heater incorporates a water pressure switch which allows the burner to operate
only when the circulating pump is operating.

It is imperative that the following be undertaken by the person who is commissioning (first
starting) your pool or spa heater. On initial start up of the heater it may be necessary to adjust the
water pressure activation switch.

This switch is located behind the top rear panel and is screwed into the water manifold. The
pressure switch is designed to allow operation of the heater only when the circulating pump is
turned on and there is sufficient water flow through the heater. It must shut the heater down
immediately the pump is switched off.

To check the operation of the switch:

1. Connect the heater to mains power supply. The thermostat should not yet display “θ”.

2. Turn on pump. The thermostat should now display “θ”.

3. Turn pump off. The thermostat should no longer display “θ”.

4. If display does not respond in this way, adjust the pressure switch as detailed below. If display
responds correctly, perform a final check with the heater operating.- See the section below
titled “Starting the heater”

HX Pool and Spa Heater Page 13

To adjust pressure switch:

1. Connect the heater to mains power supply.

2. Turn pump off

3. Slide toggle on side of pressure switch up to allow knurled wheel to be turned.

4. Turn knurled wheel anti-clockwise (as viewed from above) until “θ” is displayed

5. Turn knurled wheel clockwise until “θ” disappears.

6. Continue to wind clockwise for a further half turn (180 degrees).

7. When the switch is correctly set, slide the toggle down to lock the knurled wheel in position.

WARNING: If the pressure switch cannot be adjusted correctly, DO NOT OPERATE THE
HEATER, contact Hurlcon or an Authorised Service Agent for advice.

8. Perform a final check with the heater operating.- See the section below titled “Starting the
heater”.

STARTING THE HEATER

1. Purge gas line of any air and wait five minutes for gas to clear.

2. Turn power to unit on. Thermostat should now operate and indicate water temperature.

3. Turn circulating pump on.Thermostat should display “θ” to indicate water flow.

4. Set thermostat to “ON” and press the “^” button repeatedly until set temperature is greater than
water temperature. Thermostat should now display “ ”.

5. After a few seconds, the burner should ignite.

6. While leaving the heater on, turn the pump off and on at 15 second intervals, six times. Make
sure the heater turns off and on each time. If it does not, adjust the pressure switch as detailed
above.

It is imperative that the heater is installed so that it does not operate when the circulating pump
stops. Recommended methods to achieve this are:

a) Correct adjustment of internal pressure switch. Ensure heater does not turn on two or

three minutes after circulating pump is turned off.

b) Interlock power supply of circulating pump and heater so that if timer or power turns

circulating pump off, heater is also turned off.

c) Installation of an external flow switch may be preferred under certain installations

where internal pressure switch does not turn heater off when circulator stops.
