WARNING
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
warns that elevated water temperature can be hazardous. Consult heater operation and installation
instructions for water temperature guidelines before
setting temperature.
AVERTISSEMENT
La U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
indique que des températures de l'eau élevées peuvent être dangereuses. Voir la notice d'installation
et de fonctionnement pour le réglage de la température.
1. Spa or hot tub water temperature should never
exceed 104°F (40°C). One hundred degrees
Fahrenheit (100°F [38°C]) is considered safe for
a healthy adult. Special caution is recommended
for young children.
2. The 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 take note! Soaking in water
above 102°F (38.5°C) can cause fetal damage
during the fi rst three months of pregnancy (which
®
could result in the birth of a brain-damaged or
deformed child). If pregnant women are going
to use a spa or hot tub, they should make sure
the water temperature is below 100°F (38°C)
maximum.
4. The water temperature should always be checked
with an accurate thermometer before entering a
spa or hot tub. Temperature controls may vary by
as much as 1F° (1C°).
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease,
diabetes, circulatory or blood pressure problems
should consult their physician before using a hot
tub or spa.
6. Persons taking any medication which induces
drowsiness (e.g., tranquilizers, antihistamines, or
anticoagulants) should not use spas or hot tubs.
7. Prolonged immersion in hot water can induce
hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal body
temperature reaches a level several degrees above the
normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). Symptoms
include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and
an increase in the internal body temperature. The
effects of hyperthermia include:
• Lack of awareness of impending hazard
Page 6
Legacy™ Model LRZM Pool/Spa Heater Installation and Operation Manual
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize need to leave spa
• Physical inability to leave spa
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of
drowning
1.2.2 Swimming Pool Energy Saving
Tips
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. offers the following
recommendations to help conserve fuel and minimize
the cost of operating your pool heater without sacrifi cing comfort.
1. The American Red Cross recommends a
maximum water temperature of 78°F (25°C).
Use an accurate pool thermometer. A difference
of 4°F (2°C) , between 78°F and 82°F (26°C and
28°C), will use as much as 40% more gas.
2. Carefully monitor the water temperature of your
pool in the summertime. You can reduce heater
usage due to warmer air temperatures.
3. Find the proper setting on the pool heater temper-
ature control and use the TEMP-LOK feature to
discourage further adjustments.
4. Set the pump time clock to start the pump no
earlier than 6:00 AM during the pool heating
season. This is the time when nightly heat loss
balances.
1.3 Warranty
The Legacy heater is sold with a limited factory
warranty. Details are specifi ed on the back cover of
this manual.
Make all warranty claims to a Jandy dealer or
directly to the factory. Claims must include the heater
serial number and model (this information can be
found on the rating plate), installation date, and name
of the installer. Shipping costs are not included in the
warranty coverage.
The warranty does NOT cover damage caused
by improper assembly, installation, operation or fi eld
modifi cation. Also, damage to the heat exchanger by
corrosive water is NOT covered by the warranty. See
Section 8.1 for maintaining proper pool water chemistry.
NOTE Keep this manual in a safe place for future
reference when inspecting or servicing the
heater.
1.4 Codes and Standards
The Legacy pool and spa heaters are design
certifi ed by CSA (Canadian Standards Association) as
complying with the latest edition of the "Standard for
Gas Fired Pool Heaters", ANSI Z21.56 in the USA and
CAN-4.7 in Canada.
All Jandy heaters must be installed in accordance
with the local building and installation codes as per
the utility or authorities having jurisdiction. All local
codes take precedence over national codes.
In the absence of local codes, refer to the latest
edition of the following national codes for installation:
5. If the pool is only going to be used on weekends,
reduce the heater temperature control setting by
8 or 10 degrees during the week. Reset it to the
desired temperature level a day or so before you
plan to use the pool.
6. During the winter or when on vacation for longer
than a week, shut down the heater by following
the shutdown instructions found on the inside of
the heater.
7. Where possible, shelter the pool from prevailing winds with well-trimmed hedges or other
landscaping, cabanas, or fencing.
8. Always use a pool cover when practical. Besides
providing a valuable safety feature, a pool cover
will reduce heat loss, conserve chemicals, and
reduce the load on fi lter systems.

Legacy™ Model LRZM Pool/Spa Heater Installation and Operation Manual
The Legacy heater may be installed indoors or
outdoors as outlined in later sections. Location of
the heater below or above the pool water level affects
operation of its water pressure switch. See sections on
water piping and heater start-up for more information
about this.
Avoid placing the heater in locations where it
can cause damage by water or condensate leakage.
If this is not possible, provide a suitable drain pan to
catch and divert any leakage. The pan must not restrict
the air fl ow around the heater.
All criteria given in the following sections
refl ect minimum clearances as stated in the national
standards. However, each installation must also be
evaluated, taking into account the prevailing local
conditions such as wind speed and direction, proximity and height of walls that may block ventilation, and
proximity to public access areas.
2.3.2 Clearances
The heater must be placed to provide clearances
on all sides for maintenance and inspection. There
must also be minimum distances maintained from
combustible surfaces (see Table 2).
At least 18 inches (457mm) access must be available in front of the heater for burner removal.
If the heater is to be installed in a garage, or
similar structure, all burners and burner ignition devices must have a minimum 18 inches (457mm) clearance
above the fl oor.

2.3.3 Flooring
The heater must be installed on a level surface
of noncombustible construction or on fi re-resistant
slabs or arches. Noncombustible fl ooring is defi ned
as fl ooring material and surface fi nish not capable of
being ignited and burning and with no combustible
materials against the underside. Acceptable materials
are those consisting entirely of a combination of steel,
iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plaster. Do not
install the heater directly on a combustible wood or
carpet fl oor without placing a noncombustible platform
between the fl oor and the heater.
The heater can be installed on a combustible
fl oor if a noncombustible base assembly, available
from Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. is used. See the
heater rating plate or the Parts List (Section 11) of this
manual for the appropriate base part number. Heaters
must never be installed directly on carpeting.
As an alternative to the Jandy noncombustible
base plate, in the United States, the National Fuel Gas
Code (NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1), and in Canada, the
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (CAN/
CSA-B149.1), allow a heater to be placed on a
combustible surface when there is a platform under
the heater made of hollow masonry no less than four
(4) inches (102 millimeters [mm]) thick, covered
with sheet metal at least 24 gauge thick and extending beyond the full width and depth of the heater by
at least six (6) inches (153 mm) in all directions. The
masonry must be laid with ends unsealed, and joints
matched to provide free circulation of air from side to
side through the masonry (see Figure 2). If the heater
is installed in a carpeted alcove, the entire fl oor of the
alcove must be covered by a noncombustible panel.
2.3.4 Outdoor Installation
Legacy heaters can be installed in the low-profi le
top confi guration as received from the factory, or with
an optional high wind vent cap.
Locate the heater in an open, unroofed area. Do
not install the heater under a deck.
Do not locate the heater below or adjacent to
any doors, glass openings, louvers, grills, etc., which
connect in any way with an inhabited area of a build-
Note: Clearances listed in Table 2 are
manufacturer's tested values. These are

AVERTISSEMENT
Lorsque vous installez l’appareil de chauffage,
assurez-vous que l’ouverture d’aération se trouve à
un minimum de 10 pieds (3,05 m) de toute ouverture d’un bâtiment.
The top surface of the heater must be at least
three (3) feet above any forced air inlet, or intake ducts
located within 10 feet horizontally.
If the heater is installed under an overhang,
there must be a minimum clearance of 5 feet (1.5 m)
above the top of the heater and the structure should not
overhang the heater more than 12 inches (0.30 m). The
area under the overhang must be open on three sides.
This prevents combustion gases from being diverted
into living areas through doors, windows, or gravity
inlets.
Ne pas installer ce chauffe-piscine sous une
saillie mesurant moins de 5 pi de hauteur. La partie
sous la saillie doit être ouverte sur 3 côtés.
If the heater is installed close to a structure,
protect it from rain water runoff with rain gutters on
the roof or other measures. Do not locate the heater
near irrigation sprinkler systems that could spray water
on it. Water from sprinklers may cause damage to
controls and electronic components.
Avoid locations where wind defl ection off nearby
structures might cause downdraft conditions. Where
downdraft conditions exist, locate the heater at least
3 feet (0.91 m) from vertical surfaces (e.g., nearby
buildings and walls). The addition of a vent cap may
be necessary.
In Florida, it is required that the heater be securely fastened to the equipment pad. Use a size
1/4" x 1-1/2" long stainless steel Tapcon® type
concrete screws and washers at each of the four tabs
located at the base of the heater. Mounting the appliance in this manner meets the applicable requirements
of the Florida Building Code.
Mounting screws are not provided with this
heater. After placing the heater on the equipment pad,
drill a hole in the concrete at each of the four tabs
on the feet of the heater. (The correct size drill bit
is usually provided with the concrete screws when
purchased). Place a screw in each of the holes and
fasten the heater to the equipment pad (see Figure 4).
Do not over torque the screws.
2.3.5 Indoor and Outdoor Shelter
Installations
An outdoor shelter (Canada only) is an unoccupied enclosure which does not communicate directly
with occupied areas. All indoor installations and
outdoor shelter installations require a factory approved
vent collar. The vent collar must be installed without
modifi cation and in accordance with the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
Une remise extérieure (au Canada seulement) est un endroit inoccupé qui ne communique
pas directement avec les endroits occupés. Toutes
les installations intérieures et remises extérieures
exigent l’addition d’une cheminée approuvée par le
manufacturier. La cheminée doit être installée sans
aucune modifi cation et selon les exigences fournies
par le manufacturier.
These codes, standards and Zodiac Pool Systems,
Inc. require that the heater be properly vented as
outlined in this manual. Proper ventilation of exhaust
Figure 3. Outdoor Heater Installation

and combustion air are essential for the safe and
effi cient operation of the heater (See Section 3). An
approved draft hood may be purchased from your local
Jandy distributor. See Section 11 (Parts List) of this
manual for the correct part number for your model and
size heater.
Section 3. Venting
3.1 Combustion Air Supply
The heater location must provide suffi cient
air supply for proper combustion and ventilation of
the surrounding area as outlined in the latest edition
of ANSI standard Z223.1 or in Canada, CAN/
CSA-B149.1, and any local codes that may be applicable.
In general, these requirements specify that the
room in which a heater is installed should be provided
*Area indicated is for one of two openings; one at fl oor level and
one at the ceiling, so the total net free area would be double the
fi gures indicated. For special conditions, refer to NFPA54 ANSI
Z223.1. In Canada refer to the National Standard CAN/CSA-
B149.1 which differs from this table.
Note: If using screens and/or metal louvers, compensate by adding
50% additional area to each opening. If using wood louvers each open-
ing must be at least four times the area indicated in the table above.

with two permanent air supply openings; one within
12 inches (305mm) of the ceiling, the other within
12 inches (305mm) of the fl oor. All indoor installa-
tions must have openings to outside air for combustion, ventilation, and dilution of fl ue gases from inside
the building (see Figure 5 and Table 3). Zodiac Pool
Systems, Inc. does not recommend indoor installations
that do not provide combustion air from outside the
building.
All outdoor shelter installations (Canada only)
must have uninterrupted openings to outside air for
combustion and ventilation. The installation must
be in accordance with the latest edition of CAN/
CSA-B149.1. Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. does not
recommend outdoor shelter installations that depend
on internal air for combustion. Combustion air should
be ducted to the heater from outside the structure.
Outside Air Supply: When combustion air
is supplied directly through an outside wall, each
opening should have a minimum free area of one
square inch per 4,000 BTU/h (1.2kW) input of the
total input rating of all appliances in the enclosed
area. If air is provided through horizontal ducts, each
opening and duct must provide one square inch of fl ow
area for each 2000 BTU/h (0.6 kW). These requirements are summarized in Table 3. Note that the areas
specifi ed are net free areas and should be increased by
50 percent when the openings are covered by screens,
louvers, grills or other protective covers (see Figure 5
and Table 3).
NOTE In Canada, follow Canadian Standard, CAN/
CSA-B149.1 or local codes.
Exhaust Fans or Vents: Any equipment
which exhausts air from the room where the heater
is installed can deplete the combustion air supply or
reverse the natural draft action of the venting system.
This could cause fl ue products to accumulate in the

room. Additional air must be supplied to compensate
for such exhaust.
The information in Table 3 is not applicable in
installations where exhaust fans or blowers of any type
are used. Such installations must be designed by qualifi ed engineers.
If a blower or fan is used to supply air to the
room, the installer should make sure it does not create
drafts which could cause nuisance shutdowns of the
pilot.
The heater must be completely isolated and
protected from any source of corrosive chemical fumes
such as those emitted by trichlorethylene, perchloroethylene, chlorine, etc.
WARNING
Do not store any chemicals, cleaners, or other corrosive material near combustion air openings or in
the room. Avoid locating dryer vents in the vicinity of combustion air openings. Failure to prevent
corrosive materials from mixing with combustion air
can result in reduced heater life and unsafe heater
operation.
AVERTISSEMENT
N’entreposer aucun produit chimique, produit nettoyant ou produit corrosif à proximité des bouches
d’air de combustion ou dans la pièce. Éviter de
placer des tuyaux de ventilation pour sécheuse à
proximité des bouches d’air de combustion. Le fait
de laisser des matières corrosives se mélanger à
l’air de combustion risque de réduire le cycle de vie

3.2 Vent Pipe Sizing and General
Installation
3.2.2 Indoor and Outdoor Shelter
Installations
WARNING
Vent pipe diameter must be as required by the National fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or the Canadian
Installation Codes for Gas Appliances CAN/CSAB149.1. Undersize pipe can result in inadequate
venting and oversize pipe can result in vent condensation. In either case the result can be release of
combustion products to the indoors. This can cause
serious injury or death by carbon monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le diamètre des tuyaux de ventilation doit répondre
aux exigences du National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1 ou du code canadien des installations des
appareils à gaz CAN/CSA-B149.1. Des tuyaux trop
petits risquent d’entraîner une ventilation inadéquate et des tuyaux trop gros risquent de provoquer
une condensation dans les tuyaux. Dans un cas
comme dans l’autre, des produits de combustion
risquent de s’échapper dans le bâtiment et causer
des blessures graves ou l’asphyxie par le monoxyde de carbone.
All indoor installations and outdoor shelter
installations require the addition of a factory approved
draft hood. The draft hood must be installed without
modifi cation.
All vent installations must be made in accordance
with all local, state or provincial codes and with:
1. Chapter covering "Venting of Equipment" of
the national Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 223.1 latest
edition , or the applicable provisions of the local
building codes.
3.2.1 Outdoor Installations
For outdoor installations, exhaust venting considerations will determine the placement of the heater
(See Section 2.3.4). If the heater cannot be placed so
as to meet the requirements stated in Section 2.3.4, a
vent pipe and cap may be added to the heater to move
the exhaust vent opening to a position that complies
with the requirements. When the heater is installed in
areas of high wind or when unavoidably installed near
a vertical obstruction where downdrafting may occur,
it may be desirable to add a vent cap directly to the
top of the heater. In all cases, vent pipes and caps must
be of the same diameter as the exhaust outlet of the
heater. Approved vent caps may be obtained through
your Jandy distributor.
2. In Canada, CAN/CSA-B149.1.
Avoid long horizontal runs of the vent pipe, and
90° elbows, reductions and restrictions. Horizontal
runs must have at least a 1/4 inch rise per foot (20mm
per meter) in the direction of fl ow.
Avoid terminating heater vents near air conditioning or air supply fans. The fans can pick up
exhaust fl ue products from the heater and return them
inside the building, creating a possible health hazard.
Do not locate the vent terminal where fl ue
products could strike against building materials and
cause degradation.
Vent opening should be well away from trees
or other obstructions that would prevent free air fl ow
to and from vent terminal. Do not terminate the vent
under decks, stairways, or car ports.
Be sure to support all venting so that connections will not separate and so that the weight of the
vent pipe does not rest on the heater draft hood. All
connections should be made with rustproof sheet metal
screws. Do not weld or fasten the vent pipe to the
Page 14
Legacy™ Model LRZM Pool/Spa Heater Installation and Operation Manual
heater draft hood. The draft hood and heater top must
be easily removable for normal heater service and
inspection.
The draft hood outlet is to be connected to an
unobstructed vent pipe of the same diameter, terminating outside the building. The vent must terminate
at least two (2) feet (0.61 m) above the highest point
of the roof or other object that is within 10 feet (3.05
m) of the vent termination. The vent pipe must have a
listed vent cap which allows a full equivalent opening
for fl ue products (see Figure 5). The top of the vent
cap must be at least fi ve feet in vertical height above
the draft hood outlet.
Type “B” double wall or equivalent vent pipe is
recommended for the entire venting system. However,
single wall metal vent pipe may be used within the
structure in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 or in Canada CAN/CSA-B149.1
IMPORTANT NOTE Do not use sheet metal screws at
the snap lock joints of Type B gas vents.
When venting multiple appliances through one
common duct, each appliance must have it’s own vent
temperature limit switch. All vent limit switches must
be wired in series so as to prevent any appliance from
fi ring in the event of a blocked vent. Refer to ANSI
Z223.1 or, in Canada, to CAN/CSA-B149.1 for more
information on multiple venting.
3.2.3 Inspection and Replacement of
Existing Vent System with New
Components
If the Legacy is being installed to replace an
existing pool heater, it is recommended that a new
appropriate venting system be installed with the new
heater. However, if an existing venting system must be
used, be sure to carefully inspect the venting system to
ensure that it is in good condition and continues to be
appropriate for the Legacy heater. Replace any parts
that are not in good and serviceable condition with
new parts before completing the pool heater installa-
tion.
Section 4. Gas Connections
4.1 Gas Supply and Piping
Review the following general instructions before
continuing the installation.
Important:
The Legacy pool and spa heaters are designed for
use with either natural gas or LP gas. Check the
rating plate on the inner panel to be sure that the
heater is designed to use the type of gas being
supplied. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONVERT THIS
HEATER FOR USE WITH ANY OTHER TYPE OF
FUEL.
Do not install LP gas units indoors.

1. Gas piping installation must be in accordance
with the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1 and all
local codes. In Canada, the installation must be
in accordance with CAN/CSA B149.1 and all
local codes that apply.
2. Check the gas supply to be sure that it is the
same as the gas indicated on the heater’s rating
plate. Legacy heaters, as shipped from the
factory, are certifi ed to operate within the altitude
range indicated on the rating plate. If a fi eld
conversion to a different altitude range should be
necessary, manifold kits are available for changing the altitude range of the heater. See Table 1
in section 1.7.1 of this manual to determine the
correct altitude designation for your heater. Refer
to Section 11 “Parts List” to order the correct
part number of the manifold kit needed. When
changing the altitude range of the heater, be sure
to fi ll out the altitude conversion label, included
in the kit. Apply the label next to the original
rating plate.
CAUTION
Permanent damage to the gas valve will occur if the
following procedures are not followed.
ATTENTION

3. Use the fi gures in Table 4 to size the gas inlet
piping from the gas meter to the heater. Check all
local codes for compliance before installing the
heater.
4. Install a sediment trap (drip leg) ahead of the
gas controls (see Figure 6). Fit the trap with a
threaded cap which can be removed for cleaning.
5. Install a manual gas shutoff valve for service
and safety. Do not use a restrictive gas cock.
DO NOT USE FLEXIBLE GAS PIPING, it will
restrict the gas fl ow to the heater.

7. If the gas supply pressure is less than required,
check for undersized pipe between the meter and
the heater, a restrictive fi tting, or an undersized
gas meter. Gas supply pressures to the heater are
listed in Table 5.
NOTE The maximum inlet gas pressure must not
exceed the specifi ed value. The minimum
value listed is for the purpose of input
adjustment. Refer to Table 5.
8. Before operating the heater, test the complete gas
supply system and all connections for leaks using
a soap solution. Do not use an open fl ame.
CAUTION
Some leak test solutions (including soap and water)
may cause corrosion or stress cracking. Rinse the
piping with water after testing.
ATTENTION
Certaines solutions d’essai d’étanchéité (y compris
l’eau et le savon) peuvent causer de la corrosion
ou de la fi ssuration. Rincez les tuyaux à l’eau après

4.2 Manifold Pressure
Confi rm that gas supply pressure is correct. If
the gas supply pressure is less than required, check
for undersized pipe between the meter and the heater,
a restrictive fi tting, or an undersized gas meter. Gas
supply pressures to the heater, when it is operating, are
listed in Table 5.
CAUTION
Manifold gas pressure for the Legacy natural gas
heaters should be set at 4.0" WC. Propane heaters
should be set to 9" WC.

6. Disconnect the heater and its individual shutoff
valve from the gas supply system during pressure
testing of the system at pressures higher than 1/2
pounds per square inch (psi) (3.45 kilopascals
[kPa]). If the test pressure is equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.45 kPa), close the manual shutoff valve
on the heater during the piping pressure test.

propane devrait être de 9'’ WC.
The manifold pressure may be checked by
connecting a manometer to the pressure port on the
outlet side of the valve. You will need to remove the
1/8" NPT protective plug form the port and install the
appropriate 1/8" NPT fi tting to connect your manom-
eter. The pressure will be zero when the heater is not
running. When the heater is operating the manifold gas
pressure should be 4.0" WC for natural gas heaters and
9.0" WC for LP gas heaters.
Before adjusting the manifold gas pressure check
the supply side pressure. Make certain the entire
supply side gas train (gas line, shutoffs, meter, etc.)is
correct for the heater size. To adjust the manifold gas
pressure, fi rst remove the slotted cap on the top of the
gas valve to the right of the control knob. Under the
Page 16
Legacy™ Model LRZM Pool/Spa Heater Installation and Operation Manual
slotted cap is a slotted plastic screw which increases
the manifold pressure when turned clockwise and
decreases the manifold pressure when turned counterclockwise.
After measurements, and adjustments if necessary, have been made, make sure to replace the 1/8"
NPT plug on the manifold pressure ports, and the
cap on the manifold pressure adjustment screw. It
is extremely important to replace these parts before
leaving the installation. Failure to do so can result in
damage to property or injury or death.
With the heater fi ring, the pressure must be
within the range shown in Table 5. Also check the
pressure with the heater off.
4.3 Special Precautions for LP Gas
LP Gas is heavier than air and can therefore more
readily collect or “pool” in enclosed areas if provision
for proper ventilation is not made. Installation of pool
heaters in enclosed areas such as pits is not recommended. However, if such an installation is required
be sure to pay special attention to proper ventilation
requirements for LP gas. Locate heaters a safe distance
from LP gas cylinders and fi lling equipment. Consult
the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1,
latest edition), the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code in Canada (CAN/CSA B149.1, latest
edition), and any other local codes and fi re protection
authorities about specifi c installation restrictions in
your area.
Section 5. Water Connections
5.1 Water Piping
Figure 7 illustrates typical piping for pool equip-
ment in pool/spa combination pools.
For normal installations, do not install a shutoff
valve or any kind of variable restriction in the water
piping between the heater outlet and the pool/spa. In
special installations where a shut-off valve, diverter
valve or other variable restriction is required in the
plumbing between the heater outlet and the pool,
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. recommends the installation
of a pressure relief valve on the heater (see Section
5.6).
Arrangement of pool system components other
than as illustrated in these diagrams can affect the
operation of the heater’s water pressure switch.
Location of the heater above or below the pool water
surface can also affect operation of the switch. In
general, the pressure switch can be adjusted to accommodate this effect if the heater water connections are
no more than six (6) feet below the pool water surface
and no more than 15 feet above it. See instructions for
pressure switch adjustment (Section 7.5) in the heater
start-up section of this manual for more information
about this.
Note that when pool equipment is located below
the pool surface a leak can result in large scale water
loss or fl ooding. Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. cannot
be responsible for such water loss or fl ooding or the
damage caused by it.
For special installations such as water connections below the water level of the pool, or for other
questions contact the Zodiac Technical Service department at (800) 822-7933.

AQUAPURE
Legacy™ Model LRZM Pool/Spa Heater Installation and Operation Manual
5.2 Check Valve Installation
The heater must be protected from back-siphoning of water, which can result in dry starts. If there is
any chance of back-siphoning, provide a check valve
between the pool and the fi lter pump inlet.
When an automatic chemical feeder is installed
in the plumbing, it must be installed downstream of
the heater (see Section 5.7). A check valve must be
installed between the heater and the chemical feeder to
prevent back-siphoning of chemically saturated water
into the heater where it will damage the components.
5.3 Automatic Flow Control Valve
The inlet/outlet header of the Legacy comes
equipped with an automatic fl ow control valve. The
automatic fl ow control valve maintains the proper fl ow through the heater at rates up to approximately
125 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) (475 liters per minute
[LPM]). If the fi lter system fl ow rate is higher than
approximately 125 GPM (475 LPM), install a manual
bypass valve (see Figure 7), then perform a temperature rise test (see Section 7.6) and adjust the fl ow using
the bypass valve until the proper temperature rise is
obtained.
5.4 Reversible Water Connections
NOTE Reversing the header requires a longer
syphon tube, order part number R0483601.
The Legacy heater is shipped with water connections on the right side, but can be modifi ed in the fi eld
to provide left-side water connections. This procedure involves removing the heat exchanger headers
and reinstalling them on opposite ends of the tube
assembly. Some of the heater wiring must be disconnected and re-routed, so this procedure must be done
only by a trained service technician. Heat exchanger
reversals are generally done before the installation of
power and water to the heater. If you need to reverse
the heat exchanger on a previously installed heater be
sure that all electrical power, the gas supply and water
supply have been turned off before starting the procedure. These instructions have been written to include
the steps needed when reversing the water connections on an existing installation. If you are reversing
the headers on a new installation, some steps will be
ignored. Water connection reversal is illustrated in
Figures 8 and 9. Proceed as follows:
1. For an existing installation, drain the heater by
removing the two drain plugs on the inlet/outlet
header and the drain plug on the return header.
2. Remove the heater front panel (door).
3. Remove the I/O header side cover plates, top and
bottom. See Figure 10.
4. Remove the return header side cover plates, top
and bottom. See Figure 10.
Figure 8. Water Connections as Shipped
NOTE: When reversal
is complete the water
temperature sensor
wires and the syphon
loop tube will exit the
inlet/outlet header at
the back of the heater
and the drain plugs are
facing down.

in which the water fl ow can be shut off between the
heater outlet and the pool/spa.
A pressure relief valve is not supplied with the
Legacy heater. However, it is recommended that a
pressure relief valve be installed and may even be
required by local codes. Be sure to check any applicable installation codes in your area to determine
whether a pressure relief valve is required. See Section
11.2 (Parts List) of this manual for the appropriate kit
part number.
The maximum working pressure of this heater
is 75 psi. Be sure to take into consideration the
maximum allowable pressure of the other components
in the system when selecting a PRV. Any pressure
relief valve installed must comply with provisions of
the standard described in ANSI Z21.22 for the United
States or CSA 4.4 in Canada.
Follow these steps to install a pressure relief valve:
5.5 Connections at Heater
The Legacy heater has a standard two (2) inch
water header and coupling design. With this feature,
only nominal two inch PVC or CPVC may be connected to the heater. However, by installing the appropriate
pipe adapters and two short pieces of two inch plastic
pipe (supplied by the installer), any size existing pipe
may be fi tted to the heater.
To connect a section of 2” PVC or CPVC pipe to
the heater, fi rst slip a coupling nut onto the pipe. Then
prepare the end of the pipe with the proper PVC/CPVC
primer and glue. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions provided with the primer and glue for preparation
procedures and curing times. Apply the slip-fi t side of
the coupling to the end of the pipe. Allow the glue to
cure completely. Set the o-ring into the groove on the
face of the coupling. Slide the coupling nut up to the
coupling and tighten it to the threaded connection on
the header (see Figure 12).
5.6 Pressure Relief Valve
A pressure relief valve (PRV) is recommended in
all installations, and is mandatory in any installation
1. To protect the threads while drilling, screw the
brass adapter (included with the Jandy PRV kit)
into the blind threaded hole on the top of the
inlet/outlet header.
2. Using the countersink in the center of the blind
hole as a guide, drill a 1/4 inch hole through the
plastic (see Figure 13).
3. Open the hole by reaming it with a 3/8 inch drill
bit.
4. Open the hole again by reaming it with a 1/2 inch
drill bit.
CAUTION
Initially drilling a 1/2" hole without reaming may
cause the bit to "grab" on the plastic. This may
cause personal injury or damage the plastic header.

5.7 Auxiliary Components,
Chlorinators, Ozone Generators,
and Sanitizing Chemicals
The Legacy heater is manufactured with materials that are not compatible with high concentrations of
ozone, chlorine, bromine, or other sanitizing chemicals. Heater damage caused by excessive chemicals
or improper ozonization is not covered by the Zodiac
Pool Systems, Inc. warranty. Be sure to adhere to the
following:
• When ozone is injected upstream of the heater,
install an offgas mixing chamber, or an ozone
bypass system between the heater and the ozone
injector to prevent ozone and air from entering
the heater.
• When chemical feeders are used, plumb the
feeder downstream of the heater and install an
in-line check valve between the heater and the
feeder (a minimum of 18" is required between
the heater and the check valve).
• Wire any electrical chemical feeder so that it
cannot operate unless the fi lter pump is running.
If the feeder has an independent clock control,
synchronize it with the fi lter clock.
• Never deposit chemicals directly in the pool
skimmer.

CAUTION
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after
servicing.
ATTENTION
Au moment de l'entretien des commandes,
étiquetez tous les fi ls avant de les débrancher. Des
erreurs de câblage peuvent entraîner un fonctionnement inadéquat et dangereux.
6.1 Main Power
The Legacy heater does not require an external
source of electrical power to operate. The power for
the gas valve and safety circuit are generated by a
thermopile. The thermopile generates a millivolt signal
when heated by the pilot fl ame. Figure 16 shows the
internal electrical wiring diagram and schematic of the
heater.
6.2 Bonding
CAUTION
To prevent premature failure of the appliance resulting from stray voltages and voltage differentials, the
heater must be bonded to other equipment which is
part of the pool plumbing system with a solid copper
wire not smaller in diameter than 8 AWG, 6 AWG in
Canada.
ATTENTION
Pour éviter le bris prématuré de l'appareil dû à
des tensions vagabondes et à des différences
de tension, le chauffe-piscine doit être scellé à
l'équipement faisant partie de la plomberie de la
piscine à l'aide d'un fi l de cuivre massif dont le
diamètre n'est pas inférieur à un calibre 8, et un
calibre 6 pour le Canada.
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. requires that the appliance be connected to a "bonding loop" that includes all
electrical equipment in the system and on the equipment pad. Bonding lugs must be connected with a
solid copper wire not smaller than 8 AWG (6 AWG in
Canada). Failure to do so will void warranty.
Additionally, in the United States the National
Electrical Code and in Canada the Canadian Electrical Code, require that all metallic components of
a pool structure, including reinforcing steel, metal
fi ttings and above ground components be bonded
together (forming a “bonding grid”) with a solid
copper conductor not smaller than a 8 AWG (6 AWG
in Canada).

The NEC and the CEC also require that the
equipment and/or appliances associated with the pool
water circulating system, including, but not limited to,
pump motors and heaters be bonded together as part
of the equipotential bonding grid. Zodiac provides a
special labeled bonding lug on the right side of the
heater to accommodate this requirement.
6.3 Auxiliary Time Clock Wiring
If you install a time clock to control the fi lter
pump operation, it is recommended that the time clock
have its own low voltage (Fireman’s) switch to turn
off the heater before turning off the pump. The switch
should shut off the heater about 15 minutes before
the fi lter pump shuts off. This will allow for a more
effi cient operation by removing any residual heat
contained in the heat exchanger back to the pool.
To install a time clock auxiliary switch into the
heater wires (see Figure 15):
1. Remove heater door.
2. Remove the factory installed wire between termi-
nals 1 and 2 on the terminal strip (see Figure 15).
3. Connect the wires from the time clock auxiliary
switch to the two terminals. Use American Wire
Gauge (AWG) No. 14 gauge stranded copper
wire with a temperature rating of 221°F (105°C)
or greater.
The length of the wire between the heater and
the time clock should not exceed 10-15 feet (4.57 m).
The contact points of the time clock switch should be
silver, or a low resistance alloy.

Section 7. Operating Instructions
7.1 Normal Operation
The Legacy model LRZ millivolt heaters are
capable of automatic operation based on a call for
heat at a preset temperature. The heater has an internal safety system which allows operation in a variety
of conditions and prevents operation when certain
adverse conditions are encountered.
When the heater's pilot is lit and the pilot
generator is providing a millivolt signal to the safety
circuit, water is fl owing through the heater, and the
temperature of the water entering the heater is below
the temperature control setting, an operating cycle is
initiated by the automatic control. The temperature
control circuit is closed, activating the gas valve and
the gas valve is opened. Gas fl ows through the burners,
is mixed with air in the combustion chamber, and is
ignited by the pilot. Operation will continue until the
temperature of the water entering the heater reaches
the temperature control setting.
If ignition is unsuccessful, or if the fl ame fails
during normal operation, the temperature control
circuit opens and shuts off the gas valve.
7.2 Start-Up
CAUTION
Do not use this heater if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualifi ed service techni-
cian to inspect the heater and replace any part of
the control system and any gas control which has
been under water.
ATTENTION
N'utilisez pas cet appareil s'il a été plongé dans
l'eau, même partiellement. Faites inspecter
l'appareil par un technicien qualifi é et remplacez
toute partie du système de contrôle et toute commande qui ont été plongés dans l'eau.
CAUTION
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to
shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the
heater.
ATTENTION
En cas de surchauffe ou si l'alimentation en gaz ne
s'arrête pas, fermez manuellement le robinet d'arrêt
de l'admission de gaz.
CAUTION
Do not attempt repairs on the gas controls or appliance. Tampering is dangerous and voids all warranties.
ATTENTION
Ne tentez pas d’effectuer des réparations au système de régulation du débit du gaz ou à l’appareil.
Toute modifi cation non autorisée est dangereuse et
entraîne l’annulation de toutes les garanties.
CAUTION
Keep all objects off the top of the heater. Blocking
air fl ow could damage the heater, and may void the
warranty.
ATTENTION
Ne posez aucun objet sur le dessus de l’appareil.
Il pourrait empêcher la circulation de l’air, ce qui
risquerait d’endommager l’appareil et d’annuler la
garantie.
WARNING
Vent pipes, draft hoods, and heater tops get hot!
These surfaces can cause serious burns. Do not
touch these surfaces while the heater is in operation. Adding a vent cap reduces the temperature on
the top.
AVERTISSEMENT
Les tuyaux d’aération et le dessus de l’appareil
deviennent chauds! Ils peuvent causer de graves
brûlures. Ne touchez pas à ces surfaces lorsque
l’appareil est en marche.
WARNING
For your safety, when starting the heater, keep your
head and face well away from the lower fi rebox
opening to prevent any risk of personal injury.
AVERTISSEMENT
Pour votre sécurité personnelle lorsque vous mettez
l’appareil en marche, tenez votre tête et votre visage loin du brûleur pour éviter tout risque de blessure.
Be sure that there is water in the pool and that the
surface level is above the skimmer or other inlet of the
pool’s fi lter system.
Confi rm that pool water is fl owing normally
through the pool system and equipment. With any new
pool or spa installation, operate the fi lter pump with
the heater off long enough to completely clean the
water. This will remove any installation residue from
the water. Clean the fi lter at the end of this operation
before starting the heater. Start the heater in accordance with the Operating Instructions section of this
manual, with particular attention to the lighting and
shutdown instructions and temperature control operation.
Page 24
Legacy™ Model LRZM Pool/Spa Heater Installation and Operation Manual
The heater may not start on the fi rst try. Air in
the gas line or other start-up situations may cause it to
cycle.
When raising the temperature of a cold pool,
remove all time clock settings. This lets the fi lter
system and heater operate continuously until the water
reaches the temperature setting on the temperature
control. When that happens, the heater will automatically shut off, but the fi lter pump will keep running.
When the heater starts, immediately feel the
outlet header of the heater to confi rm that there is
adequate water fl ow. The header should not be hot.
Normally, water temperature will rise only a few
degrees as it passes through the heater, and a “hot”
header or pipe indicates low water fl ow.
WARNING
When the heater is fi red for the fi rst time, the com-
bustion chamber refractory binder material is driven
out by the heat of the fl ame. White smoke and/or
sharp odors may be emitted from the vent during
this period. Do not inhale combustion product fumes
at any time, and especially when these fumes are
being emitted. This "burn-in" period will last only a
few minutes.
AVERTISSEMENT
Lorsque l’appareil est mis en marche pour la
première fois, le matériau liant réfractaire de la
chambre de combustion est expulsé par la chaleur
de la fl amme. De la fumée blanche et de fortes
odeurs peuvent se dégager du tuyau d’aération à
ce moment-là. N’inhalez les fumées de combustion
à aucun moment, surtout au moment où elles sont
émises. Cette période de combustion ne durera que
quelques minutes.
7.3 Lighting and Shutdown Procedures
Before starting your heater, be sure that you are
familiar with the setting and operation of the heater
controls. Once the controls are set to your preferences,
follow the instructions outlined on the following page
(Figure 18). Read and follow all safety instructions
fi rst.
A more detailed set of instructions of the operation of the controller follows in the next section.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt repairs on the gas control or
heater. Tampering can cause severe bodily injury or
death and voids all warranties.
AVERTISSEMENT
N’ESSAYEZ PAS de faire vous-même des réparations sur le contrôleur de gaz ou le réchauffeur.
L’altération du produit peut causer des blessures
corporelles graves ou même la mort et annule
toutes les garanties.
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate the heater with the door
off. Doing so may cause severe bodily injury.
AVERTISSEMENT
Ne tentez pas d'opérer l’appareil sans que la porte
soit en place. Vous pourriez être victime de blessures corporelles graves.
7.4 Turning the Heater On/Off and
Setting the Temperature Control
The temperature control (see Figure 17) is
calibrated at the factory and covers a range from
approximately 70°F to 104°F (21°C to 40°C). Use an
accurate pool thermometer to determine the best water
temperature for your uses.
The Legacy temperature control panel has a
rocker switch to turn the heater on and off. It also has
a rotary dial to set the desired thermostat setting (see
Figure 17).
Once the heater has been lit by following the
safety and lighting procedures in Section 7.3, set the
toggle switch on the control panel to "ON" to start the
heater operation. If the heater senses that the pump
is on and the thermostat setting is higher than the
temperature of the pool/spa water, the pilot will ignite
the main burners.
NOTE: If your heater is confi gured to operate on LP
gas and the LP tank runs out of fuel, turn off
gas at the heater. After the tank is refi lled, the
heater must be relit following the instructions
found on the inside of the heater. A copy of
these instructions appears on the following
page.

ning. If the heater does not immediately turn off
when the pump turns off, turn the heater off at the
control panel. The heater's pressure switch may
need adjusting (see Section 7.5)
Pour éviter les dommages à la propriété, le réchauffeur est conçu pour fonctionner seulement lorsque
la pompe à fi ltration est en marche. Si le réchauf-
feur ne s'éteint pas immédiatement lorsque vous
arrêtez la pompe, éteignez le réchauffeur sur le
panneau de commandes. Le commutateur de pression du réchauffeur devra peut-être être ajusté (voir
la Section 7.5).

CAUTION
ATTENTION
SLOWLY TURN ADJUSTMENT
SPROCKET CLOCKWISE
UNTIL HEATER GOES OFF.
Figure 19. Pressure Switch Adjustment
Once the pool/spa water temperature reaches the
thermostat setting, the heater will automatically stop
fi ring. As the pool/spa water temperature falls below
the thermostat setting the heater will once again start
the heating cycle.
Rotate the thermostat dial clockwise to increase
the temperature setting and counterclockwise to
decrease the setting. It may take several attempts to
set the thermostat dial to the desired temperature. Be
sure to use an accurate thermometer to measure water
temperature. Once the desired temperature setting is
found, loosen the screw on the Temp-Lok ring and
rotate the ring until the stop rests against the knob.
Tighten the screw to hold the knob in position. This
will prevent accidental moving of the dial and possible
overheating of the water.
IMPORTANT: The temperature controls cannot
be calibrated in the fi eld. If the control is faulty,
shut down the heater by following the procedures in
Section 7.3 and have a qualifi ed service technician
replace the control. DO NOT use the thermostat switch
to completely shut down the heater.
7.5 Adjusting the Water Pressure
Switch
CAUTION
The water pressure switch should be adjusted to
turn the heater off when the pump is off. Setting the
switch to close at too low of a fl ow can damage the
appliance. Adjust the switch to turn the heater off,
not on.
ATTENTION
Le manocontact de pression d’eau doit être réglé
de façon à ce que l’appareil cesse de fonctionner
si la pompe s’arrête. Si le manocontact est réglé
pour se fermer lorsque le débit d’eau est trop faible,
l’appareil risque de s’endommager. Réglez le manocontact pour qu’il arrête l’appareil, et non pour qu’il
le mette en marche.
The pressure switch is preset at the factory for
activation at 2 psi (14 kPa). Do not adjust the pressure
switch if the heater is installed more than 15 feet (4.57
m) below the pool surface. Consult your local Jandy
representative for recommendations.
On some installations, the piping from the heater
to the pool is very short. The back pressure could be
too low to trigger the pressure switch. If this happens,
it may be necessary to install a directional fi tting or
elbows where the return line enters the pool. This will
increase back pressure enough for the heater to operate
properly.
Make sure the pool fi lter is clean before making
any pressure switch adjustment. A dirty fi lter will
restrict the water fl ow and the pressure switch cannot
be adjusted properly.
To adjust the pressure switch, proceed as follows
(see Figure 19).
1. Turn the heater control to OFF. See Figure 17.
2. Remove the side panel above the front header to
access the water pressure switch.
3. Start the fi lter pump and confi rm by means of a
voltmeter that the pressure switch closes (if the
switch fails to close, replace it with a switch that
has a lower minimum setting).
4. Turn the heater ON. Set the temperature control
to the max position. Heater should start.
5. With your fi ngers, turn the adjustment sprocket
very slowly clockwise until the heater goes off.
6. Slowly turn the pressure switch adjustment
sprocket counterclockwise one-quarter turn. The
heater should come back on.
7. Check the adjustment by turning the fi lter pump
OFF. The burners should shut off immediately.
If they do not, restart the fi lter pump and repeat
Steps 6 and 7. Check the adjustment again.
Legacy™ Model LRZM Pool/Spa Heater Installation and Operation Manual
Page 27
8. Return the pool temperature control to the
desired temperature.
It may be necessary to repeat these steps to get
a proper setting. The switch must be set so that the
heater will not fi re unless the pump is running. If a
proper setting cannot be reached, contact the factory
service department.
7.6 Temperature Rise
NOTE A temperature rise measurement kit is needed
to perform this test, order part number
R0336000.
The Legacy pool and spa heaters have an inter-
nal bypass which accommodates a wide range of
water fl ow. The bypass is easily adjustable to change
the temperature rise for optimum performance and
length of heater life. The bypass assures constant heat
exchanger fl ow even though fl ow through the fi lter
system will vary depending on how dirty the fi lter is.
For most installations, an external bypass valve
is not needed in the heater water piping. This is due to
the large size of the heater's internal bypass valve. If
the pump fl ow rate is known to exceed 125 gpm (7.9
l/s), an external bypass may be needed to assure proper
heater operation.
Water fl ow should be confi rmed upon start-up of
the heater and in most servicing situations. If the fl ow
is not normal, corrections must be made to the pool
system. Flow is evaluated by determining the water
temperature rise through the heat exchanger.
Before checking the temperature rise, make sure
that the pool fi lter is clean and that gas supply and
manifold pressures are correct. If necessary, clean
all components of the fi lter system. Temperature rise
BYPASS
ADJUSTMENT
SCREW
is measured in the return header of the Legacy. To
measure the temperature rise, turn off the fi lter pump
and remove the plastic plug protruding through the
cabinet on the return header side of the heater. See
Figure 20. With the plug removed, install the special
thread adapter and Pete’s Plug
®
fi tting and insert a
pocket thermometer. A temperature rise measurement
kit is available through your Jandy distributor. See
Section 11 of this manual for the correct kit number.
The internal bypass can be adjusted by means of
a screw on the right-hand side of the header. To adjust
the temperature rise to within the ranges specifi ed in
Table 6, proceed as follows:
1. If the piping system has an external bypass valve,
close it.
2. Turn the heater control panel to OFF.
3. Start the fi lter pump.
4. After three minutes, note and record the
thermometer reading. This is the pool water
temperature.
5. Start the heater by turning the controller to ON.
Allow the heater to operate for fi ve minutes
or more. Note and record the thermometer
reading. Subtract pool water temperature from
this reading. This difference is the temperature
rise. Refer to Table 6. If your measured tempera-
ture rise is within the range designated for your
heater, skip steps 6 through 8.
6. Locate the bypass adjustment screw on the right-
hand side of the header (see Figure 20). Loosen
the nut so that the screw can be adjusted. A slight
water leak past the nut may be expected. Turn the
screw counterclockwise to decrease the tempera-
ture rise, and clockwise to increase the tempera-
ture rise as needed to achieve the ranges in Table
6. After the adjustment, tighten the nut so that no
leaks occur.
THERMOMETER WITH
PETE'S PLUG
Figure 20. Temperature Rise Measurement
7. If the temperature rise is too low and cannot be
raised by means of the adjustment screw, the fl ow
is in excess of 125 GPM (7.9 lps). An external
bypass will need to be installed, or if one already
exists, open the external bypass valve gradu-
ally until the temperature range in Table 6 is
achieved.
8. If it was necessary to adjust the external bypass
as outlined in step 7, scribe a line on the bypass
shaft and case to mark the correct adjustment
position. Wire or remove the valve handle to
prevent tampering.
Page 28
Legacy™ Model LRZM Pool/Spa Heater Installation and Operation Manual
In a system without external bypass, it may be
necessary to make changes. If temperature rise is too
low, a manual bypass must be installed. If temperature rise is too high, there is inadequate fl ow, possibly
requiring a change to the piping system or a larger
pump. Before proceeding with either remedy, verify
proper heater operation. Low gas input results in low
temperature rise and vice-versa. A problem with the
heater internal bypass assembly also affects measured
temperature rise.

8.2 Seasonal Care
CAUTION
Do not operate this heater outdoors at temperatures
below 20 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) (-7 degrees
Celsius [°C]).
8.1 Water Chemistry
The mineral content of swimming pool water
increases daily due to natural evaporation and the
addition of sanitizing chemicals. If the mineral concentration in the pool gets too high, the excess minerals will deposit on the walls of the pool, in the fi lter
system, and in the heater tubes.
The proper chemical balance in spa water is
more critical than in a swimming pool heater operation. Due to the spa's size, high water temperature and
heavy usage, chemical values in a spa can vary greatly.
This chemical imbalance can result in unsanitary water
conditions, and affect the life of the heater.
Proper chemical balances are necessary for
sanitary bathing conditions as well as ensuring your
heater's long life. Kits are available from your local
pool supply dealer for making the various tests for
mineral content. One of these kits will detect copper in
the system. This is usually a warning that corrosion is
taking place, possibly due to a low pH value combined
with other chemistry problems. The condition can
be corrected by changing the spa water and closely
monitoring the pH factor and chemical properties of
the water. Be sure to keep your chemical levels within
the values indicated in Table 7. Zodiac Pool Systems,
Inc. does not warrant heat exchangers damaged by
corrosive chemical levels or excess dissolved solids
in pool or spa water.
For spas, it is also necessary to perform water
changes in addition to chemical treatment. It is recommended to change the spa water every 60 days for light
usage and every 30 days if usage is heavy.
ATTENTION
Ne faites pas fonctionner cet appareil à l’extérieur à
des températures inférieures à 20 degrés Fahrenheit (oF) (-7 degrés Celsius [oC]).
8.2.1 Spring and Fall Operation
During periods when the pool is only going to be
used occasionally, turn the temperature control down
to the MIN setting. This prevents the pool water from
becoming chilled, and minimizes the time required to
raise the pool water back up to the desired temperature.
In areas subject to only short freeze periods, turn
off the heater and run the pump continuously for the
length of the freeze period.
If the heater is not going to be used for a long
period of time, shut it down completely. Follow the
instructions found on the inside of the heater, or page
25 of this manual.
8.2.2 Winterizing
In areas where freezing temperatures occur in
winter, and the pool or spa will not be used, have your
service technician perform the following steps:
1. Turn off the main gas supply valve to the heater,
outside the heater jacket.
2. Remove heater door.
3. Shut down the heater following the shutdown
instructions found on the inside of the heater or
on page 25 of this manual.

8.3 Inspection and Service
The Legacy heater is designed and constructed
to provide long performance life when installed and
operated properly under normal conditions. Periodic
inspections, especially at spring start-up, are important to keep your heater running safely and effi ciently
through the years. Improper maintenance can result in
conditions where nausea or asphyxiation from carbon
monoxide or fl ue gases could cause severe injury,
property damage or death.

3. If the heater is equipped with a pressure relief
valve, check for corrosion in and around the
valve. Twice a year, with the fi lter pump on, lift
the release lever on the top of the valve to make
sure that water runs freely through it. If corrosion
is found, replace the pressure relief valve. When
replacing the valve, be sure that the pump is off.
Install the valve so that the discharge is directed
away from any area that may be damaged by
water.
4. Be sure all combustion air and ventilation
openings are not blocked. Check for spider webs
and other debris inside the heater, in the vents on
all sides of the heater jacket and in the exhaust
outlet– especially after a long period of nonuse.
8.3.2 Professional Inspection
Inspections performed at least once a year by
a qualifi ed technician are required to maintain your

7. Inspect the gas and electronic controls, including
the following:
a. High temperature limit switch
b. Water pressure switch
c. Automatic gas valve
d. Fusible Link
e. Temperature control
8. Perform a temperature rise test in accordance
with Section 7.6.
9. If the heater is equipped with a pressure relief
valve, check for corrosion in and around the
valve. With the fi lter pump on, lift the release
lever on the top of the valve to make sure that
water runs freely through it. If corrosion is found,
replace the pressure relief valve. When replacing
the valve, be sure that the pump is off. Install the
valve so that the discharge is directed away from
any area that may be damaged by water.
10. Inspect the external surfaces of the heat exchang-
er tubes for black carbon soot buildup by placing
a mirror between and under the burners when the
heater is fi ring. Remove any soot that has collect-
ed on the tubes, and correct the cause.
NOTE After installation and fi rst start-up, check the
heat exchanger for black carbon soot buildup
after the following periods of operation: 24
hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, and once
every 6 months thereafter.
1. Inspect the venting system for blockage, leakage,
and corrosion.
2. Inspect burners and verify that they are clean.
Clean with a wire brush if necessary to remove
debris.
3. Check for spider webs and other debris in the
pilot and main burner orifi ces - especially at
spring start-up.
4. Check for loose or broken wires and terminal
connections.
5. Make sure that the pressure switch operates
properly by shutting the fi lter pump off and on
a few times. The burner should go off immediately after the pump stops. An ignition sequence
should start shortly after the pump is turned back
on.
6. Make a visual check of the main burner fl ame.

WARNING
SERVICING SAFETY
Some of the servicing procedures for the Legacy
heater are hazardous because they involve fuel
gas, electricity, moving parts and procedures which
require testing or temporary bypass of safety controls. For this reason, the heater must be serviced
only by a qualifi ed professional service technician.
IMPROPER SERVICE HAZARD
The Legacy heater incorporates unique design
features. Incorrect service of this heater can result
in personal injury or damage to property. To avoid
such hazards, the heater must be serviced only by
a qualifi ed professional service technician.

properly adjusted. Also be sure that there is no blockage of the vent or louvers which supply combustion air
to the burners.
10.2 Natural-Draft Combustion System
The Legacy model LRZ millivolt pool heater
has an atmospheric combustion system. This system is
illustrated in Figure 24.
As the heated exhaust gases rise out of the
combustion chamber, fl ow is created through the
system and fresh combustion air is drawn into the
heater through the louvers cut into the front and sides
of the heater. Gas is forced through an orifi ce into
the open end of a burner. When the gas fl ows into the
burner, a “negative” pressure is created at the opening
of the burner. This negative pressure pulls air into the
burner with the gas and mixes the two together. As
the gas/air mixture fl ows through the burner ports it
is ignited in the combustion chamber. Hot combustion products then rise through a highly effi cient heat
exchanger. Combustion products then enter a fl ue
collector and are directed to the outdoors through the
grate top of the heater or a vent pipe and cap.
10.3 Heater Components and Their
Operation
1. Gas Valve / Regulator - The gas valve controls
gas fl ow into the manifold. It provides fl ow only
when the temperature controls require heat and
only if all safety controls enable operation. It is
also a positive pressure regulator. It regulates
the gas pressure in the manifold to specifi cations
addressed earlier in this manual. This is neces-
sary for proper operation of the burner system.

10.1 General Information
A qualifi ed professional technician must service
the Legacy model LRZ millivolt pool heater using
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. service procedures. Before
calling for service, however, the owner should check
for obvious problems. The other components in the
pool system, including pump, fi lters and strainers,
water valves, gas supply and time clocks have an
effect on heater operation.
Confi rm that the Legacy heater control switch is
set to 'ON' and that the temperature control knob is set
high enough to make the heater operate. Make sure the
pump is operating, that the fi lter and strainers are not
clogged, that there are no mis-positioned water valves,
that the gas is not shut off and that time clocks are

Legacy™ Model LRZM Pool/Spa Heater Installation and Operation Manual
2. Temperature Control - The Jandy Legacy
controller is an electronic control which senses
water temperature by means of a thermistor and
controls heater operation to bring the water to the
desired temperature. The desired temperature is
set by rotating a knob on the face of the control
panel. To achieve accurate water temperatures,
the pool/spa water must be monitored with an
accurate pool thermometer.
3. Pilot/Pilot Ignition - The Legacy heater relies
on a standing pilot to ignite the burners when the
temperature control calls for heat. When lit the
pilot receives a constant fl ow of gas from the gas
valve. If the pilot extinguishes, the gas valve is
automatically signalled to stop the fl ow of gas to
the pilot and the burners to prevent a gas build
up in the heater. Igniting the pilot is achieved by
means of a piezo spark igniter mounted on the
inner front panel of the controls compartment of
the heater.
4. Pilot Generator (Thermopile) - The pilot generator is a device, that when heated by the fl ame
of the pilot, generates a small electrical voltage
of approximately 750 millivolts. The voltage
is placed across the temperature controller and
safety circuit of the heater. If this current is
broken at any time, the gas valve is immediately
shut off and the heater stops fi ring. This voltage
is also used to activate the gas valve's pilot coil
which allows gas to fl ow to the pilot after the gas
valve knob is released.
5. Limit Switches - Two limit switches prevent
excessive water temperature - one within the heat
exchanger and one for water leaving the heater.
If either senses excessive temperature, burner
operation is interrupted.
6. Water Pressure Switch - This control senses
whether or not water is available to the heater
by measuring back pressure inside of the heat
exchanger. If the pool water pump fails or the
water fi lter is blocked, the pressure switch
prevents operation of the burner.
7. Fusible Link - This is a single-use switch which
detects abnormal temperature in the component
vestibule. It is a fusible link which is held to
the inner panel just above the burner tray by a
sheet metal bracket. Excessive temperature in
the component compartment, possibly due to a
blocked fl ue or fl ame roll-out, will cause the link
to fail. This opens the safety circuit which shuts
off the gas valve and shuts the heater down.
10.4 Electrical Troubleshooting
This section describes procedures for checking the pilot generator and control components of the
heater one at a time and in the order they appear in the
control circuit.
NOTE Pump must be running during the
troubleshooting procedure.
These procedures require a voltmeter with a
minimum 0-1000 mVDC range. Figure 25 shows the
pilot generator and control circuits, and where to take
measurements. Location numbers and letters in circles
have been added, and will be referenced in the following sections.
As stated at the beginning of this manual, some
of these procedures are hazardous. Only a qualifi ed
service technician should service the heater.
During the trouble shooting procedure, the fi lter
pump must be on, the pilot on the heater must be lit,
the ON/OFF switch on the heater must be in the ON
position and the control knob must be turned to the
maximum setting so that there is a call for heat. We
recommend turning the gas valve control knob to the
"PILOT" position to prevent the main burners from
fi ring throughout the procedure. Before starting the
procedure, be sure that the pilot has been lit for at least
2 minutes and that the pilot generator (thermopile) is
positioned correctly within the fl ame of the pilot.
The pilot generator also operates the pilot coil of
the gas valve, allowing gas to fl ow to the pilot when
the gas valve knob is released from the pilot lighting position (see Section 7.3 "Lighting and Shutdown
Procedures"). If the pilot will not stay lit when the gas
valve knob is released, check the pilot generator output
as described in Section 10.4.2 and replace if necessary.
If the pilot generator output is suffi cient, then check
the gas valve as outlined in Section 10.4.1.
10.4.1 Gas Valve
The gas valve consists of two (2) separate
internal operating valves. The main valve supplies
gas to the main burners for heater operation. The pilot
valve supplies gas to the pilot when the pilot generator
activates the pilot coil.
If the pilot will not stay lit after following the
lighting instructions in Section 7.3, check for the
following:
• Pilot generator output
• Correct type of gas supplied
• Correct gas supply pressure
• Air in the gas line
• Pilot coil wire connections clean and tight
If the pilot will not stay lit after checking the
items listed above, the pilot coil may be causing the
fault. Replace the gas valve.

Legacy™ Model LRZM Pool/Spa Heater Installation and Operation Manual
If the main burners will not light after following the lighting instructions in Section 7.3, check the
voltage reading between the PP terminal on the gas
valve (test point 1) and the TH terminal on the gas
valve (test point 17). If the meter shows less than
220mVDC then there is a problem with the pilot
generator, the sensors in the safety loop or the control
panel. Follow the trouble shooting procedure as
outlined in sections 10.4.2 through 10.4.7.
If the meter shows more than 220mVDC at test
point 17, then check for the following:
• Correct type of gas supplied
• Correct gas supply pressure
• Correct gas manifold pressure
• Correct orifi ce size
• Air in the gas line
If the main burners will not stay lit after checking
the items listed above, the gas valve may be causing
the fault. Replace the gas valve.
10.4.2 Pilot Generator
The pilot generator generates a 700-750mVDC
signal when heated by the pilot fl ame. When the pilot
generator is connected to the heater's control components, there will be some voltage drop in the circuit so
that the measured voltage will be less than 750mVDC.
But the measured voltage should never be below
500mVDC when the ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF"
position or 220mVDC when the ON/OFF switch is in
the "ON" position.
With the pilot generator connected to the gas
valve and the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position,
place the red lead of the voltmeter on the PP terminal
(test point 1) of the gas valve. Place the black lead
of the meter on the PP/TH terminal (test point 2) of
the gas valve. The meter should show a minimum of
500mVDC. If the meter show less than 500mV, check
for partial shorts, loose or corroded connections or
partially broken wires between the pilot generator and
the gas valve.
If the wires and connections are sound, check the
pilot generator output. You will need alligator clips
to do this. Disconnect the pilot generator from the
gas valve. The pilot will go out. Light the pilot while
pressing down on the gas valve control knob. Continue
holding the knob for at least one minute. Immediately
measure the voltage between the two wires of the pilot
generator. If the meter does not show at least 700mV,
replace the pilot generator.
10.4.3 Fusible Link
Check the voltage going to the safety circuit. Be
sure that the pilot generator is correctly wired to the
gas valve, the pilot is lit and the control knob on the
gas valve is in the "PILOT" position. Leave the red
voltmeter lead in place at test point 1. Touch the black
lead of the meter to the terminal of the fusible link
where the white wire from the gas valve is connected
(test point 3).
If no voltage is detected at test point 3, the wire
between the gas valve and the fusible link is broken.
Replace the wire.
If there is a minimum of 220mV at test point 3,
move the black meter lead to the other terminal of the
fusible link (test point 4).
If no voltage is detected at test point 4, the
fusible link has failed. This indicates higher than
normal temperatures in the component compartment
(vestibule). Normal component compartment temperature is well below 300
o
F. The fusible link is designed
to fail at temperatures above 305°F. Excessive temperature might be due to a blocked fl ue or heat exchanger.
Clean the heat exchanger and clear the fl ue and vent
of any restrictions. Sometimes the fusible link fails
due to fl ame roll-out. Flame roll-out may be caused
by delayed ignition or downdrafting in windy areas.
Thoroughly investigate the causes for fl ame roll-out
and correct the problem when replacing the fusible
link.
10.4.4 Fireman Switch and External
Interlocks
Check the voltage going to the external device.
Touch the black lead of the meter to the fi reman switch
terminal strip where the white wire from the fusible
link is connected (test point 5). The meter should read
at least 220mV. If the voltage is less than 220mV, there
may be a bad connection or wire between the fusible
link and the terminal strip. The wire may need to be
replaced. If voltage of 220mV or more is detected at
test point 5, move the black lead of the meter to the
fi reman switch terminal strip connection where the
white wire from the high limit is connected (test point
6). The meter should read at least 220mV. If there is no
voltage, the time clock switch or other external interlock may be mis-adjusted, mis-connected or defective.
Correct this external problem.
10.4.5 Limit Switches
Since the limit switches are not easily accessible,
you can check the voltage going into the component
after the limit switches in the circuit. If voltage is
detected there, then the limit switches are closed and
are operational.
Check the voltage going to the water pressure
switch. Leave the red voltmeter lead in place at test
point 1. Touch the black lead of the meter to the terminal of the water pressure switch where the white wire
is connected (test point 11).
If the voltage is less than 220mV, there may be
a bad connection, a partial short or a faulty sensor. If
there is no voltage, one of the limit switches is open.
This is normally due to excessive water tempera-
Legacy™ Model LRZM Pool/Spa Heater Installation and Operation Manual
Page 37
ture, which should be thoroughly investigated before
replacement of limit switches. Excessive water temperature may be caused by low water fl ow. Water fl ow
defi ciency may be due to obvious problems such as a
defective pump or blocked water fi lter. Alternatively,
excessive water temperature may be due to over-fi ring,
or to a problem with the water piping or the heater's
internal bypass control. Over-fi ring might be a result
of an incorrect gas orifi ce or supply of propane gas to a
heater intended for natural gas.
If there are no such fundamental problems,
identify which of the switches is open. Limit switch
access is through the limit switch plugs on the inlet/
outlet header. Remove the limit switch plugs from
the bottom of the header and gently remove the limit
switches from the wells. Move the black lead of the
meter to the terminal on the 150°F limit switch (test
point 7) that is connected to the fi reman switch termi-
nal block. Less than 220mV at this point means that
the wire between the terminal block and the limit
switch has a poor or broken connection or a partial
short. Replace the wire assembly. If at least 220mV is
detected at test point 7, then move the black lead of the
meter to the other terminal of the 150°F limit switch
(test point 8). Low or no voltage here means that the
limit is open and must be replaced.
If 220mV or more is detected at test point 8,
move the black lead of the meter to the terminal on the
130°F limit switch (test point 9) that is connected to
the 150°F limit switch. Less than 220mV at this point
means that the wire between the two limit switches has
a poor or broken connection or a partial short. Replace
the wire assembly. If at least 220mV is detected at test
point 9, then move the black lead of the meter to the
other terminal of the 130°F limit switch (test point
10). Low or no voltage here means that the limit is
open and must be replaced. If voltage is detected at
test point 10, move the black lead of the meter to the
terminal of the water pressure switch where the white
wire from the high limits is connected (test point 11).
Less than 220mV at this point indicates that the wire
connecting the high limits to the water pressure switch
is faulty or poorly connected. Correct the problem or
replace the wire.
NOTE The limit switches have different trip points,
and it is important that replacements are
correct. The 150°F switch has a red dot on the
top of the switch, and must be installed in the
rear port of the header. The 130°F switch has
no dot and must be installed in the front port of
the header.
10.4.6 Water Pressure Switch
If the meter shows at least a 220mV signal at test
point 11, move the black lead of the meter to the other
terminal on the water pressure switch (test point 12).
If there is no voltage, the pressure switch contacts
are open. This is almost always due to a water fl ow
defi ciency, the most common one being a blocked water fi lter or defective pump. However, sometimes it is due
to blockage of the copper tube or mis-adjustment of
the switch. Investigate thoroughly, referring to Section
7.5 on “Water Pressure Switch Adjustment”. If there
is no problem with the pool system or pressure switch
adjustment, replace the pressure switch.
10.4.7 Temperature Control Circuit
The temperature control circuit consists of four
(4) major components which must all be working
correctly for the signal to be transmitted to the gas
valve. The four components are the ON/OFF toggle
switch, the variable temperature control (potentiometer), the temperature sensor (thermistor) and the
temperature control board. Use the following procedure to check each component for functionality.
Check the temperature control as a complete
circuit before checking each component individually.
With the red lead of the meter still at test point 1, place
the black lead of the meter on the TH terminal of the
temperature control circuit board (test point 16). If the
meter shows more than 220mV at the pressure switch
(test point 12) but not at test point 16, then one of the
components of the temperature control circuit is faulty.
Proceed with the following sections to test the components.
10.4.7.1 ON/OFF Toggle Switch
Remove the temperature control panel from the
bezel on the front of the heater to gain access to the
switch. Be sure that the toggle switch is in the "ON"
position. Place the black lead of the meter on the
toggle switch terminal (test point 13) that is connected
to the pressure switch. Less than 220mV at this point
indicates that there is a problem with the black wire
that connects the pressure switch to the toggle switch.
If at least 220mV is detected at test point 13, move the
black meter lead to the other terminal on the toggle
switch (test point 14). A reading of less than 220mV
here indicates a faulty switch. If the reading is more
than 500mV, turn the switch "OFF" and then "ON"
again to be sure that the internal contacts are working
correctly. The volt meter reading should drop to zero
when the switch is "OFF" and return to at least 220mV
when the switch is placed back in the "ON" position.
10.4.7.2 Variable Temperature Control
The variable temperature control is a 0-10,000
ohm variable resistor. Set your ohmmeter to the 0-20K
range. Remove the temperature control wires from
the control circuit board. Place one lead of the meter
on each of the wires (test points 18 & 19). With the
control set to MIN the meter should read near 10,000
ohms. Now turn the control to the MAX position. The
meter should read close to zero. If the meter shows an
Page 38
Legacy™ Model LRZM Pool/Spa Heater Installation and Operation Manual
open circuit, or readings outside of the range stated
above, replace the controller. If the control is working
correctly, reconnect the wires to the circuit board.
10.4.7.3 Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor is a 0-20,000 ohm
thermistor. Set your ohmmeter to the 0-20K range.
The meter readings will depend on the temperature of
the water in the header. See Table 9 for approximate
readings at various temperatures.
To test the temperature sensor, circulate water
through the heater for fi ve (5) minutes. Remove the
temperature sensor wires from the temperature control
board. Place one lead of the meter on each wire of the
temperature sensor (test points 20 & 21). Record the
reading. Measure and record the water temperature
of the pool near the inlet of the fi lter system. Find
the temperature in the chart that is closest to your
temperature reading of the pool water. Compare your
ohmmeter reading to the resistance number in the
chart. Remember that this is an approximate reading
and numbers may vary. If your reading is close to the
numbers indicated in the chart then the temperature
sensor is working correctly. Reconnect the wires to
the circuit board. If your reading is vastly different or
outside of the ranges shown the temperature sensor
should be replaced.

terminal of the temperature control circuit board (test
point 15). If there is more than 220mVDC at this point
but not at the TH terminal of the temperature control
circuit board (test point 16) as tested in section 10.4.7,
then the control circuit board is faulty. Replace the
board.
