CAUTION
AA
CAUTION
NOTE
DANGER: Failure to install the drafthood on indoor
AA
installation and properly vent the heater to the outdoors as outlined in the venting section of this manual can result in unsafe operation of the heater. To avoid the risk of re, explosion, or asphyxiation from carbon monoxide, never operate this heater unless it is properly vented and has an adequate air supply for proper operation. Be sure to inspect the vent system for proper installation at initial start-up, and at least annually thereafter. Refer to the venting section of this manual for more information regarding vent system inspections.
WARNING: To minimize the possibility of improper
AA
operation, serious personal injury, re, or damage to the
heater:
Always keep the area around the heater free of
combustible materials, gasoline, and other ammable liquids and vapors.
Heater should never be covered or have any blockage to the ow of fresh air to the heater.
WARNING: This unit contains refractory ceramic
AA
ber (RCF) insulation in the combustion chamber. RCF, as manufactured, does not contain respirable crystalline silica. However, following sustained exposure to very high temperatures [>2192°F (1200°C)], the RCF can transform into crystalline silica (cristabolite). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classied the inhalation of crystalline silica (cristabolite) as carcinogenic to humans.
When removing the burners or heat exchangers, take precautions to avoid creating airborne dust and avoid inhaling airborne bers. When cleaning spills, use wet sweeping or High Eciency Particulate Air (HEPA) ltered vacuum to minimize airborne dust. Use feasible engineering controls such as local exhaust ventilation or dust collecting systems to minimize airborne dust. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, safety glasses with side shields, and appropriate NIOSH certied respiratory protection, to avoid inhalation of airborne dust and airborne ber particles.
Indicates the presence of immediate hazards which will cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage if ignored.
Indicates the presence of hazards or unsafe practices which could cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage if ignored.
Indicates the presence of hazards or unsafe practices which could cause minor personal injury or product or property damage if ignored.
CAUTION used without the warning alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous condition which could cause minor personal injury or product or property damage if ignored.
Indicates special instructions on installation, operation, or maintenance which are important but not related to personal injury hazards.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment,
AA
alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be performed by a qualied installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
WARNING: Gasoline, as well as other ammable
AA
materials and liquids (adhesives, solvents, etc.), and the vapors they produce, are extremely dangerous. Do not handle, use, or store gasoline or other ammable or combustible materials in the vicinity of a heater.
WARNING: Both natural gas and propane have an
AA
odorant added to aid in detecting a gas leak. Some people may not physically be able to smell or recognize this odorant. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with the smell of natural gas or propane, ask your local gas supplier.
Other conditions, such as “odorant fade,” which causes the odorant to diminish in intensity, can also hide,
camouage, or otherwise make detecting a gas leak by smell more dicult.
WARNING: UL-recognized fuel gas detectors are
AA
recommended in all enclosed propane and natural gas applications wherein there is a potential for an explosive mixture of fuel gas to accumulate and their installation should be in accordance with the detector manufacturer’s recommendations and/or local laws, rules, regulations, or customs.
WARNING: Do not install within 3 feet (0.9 m) of a heat
AA
pump or an outdoor condensing unit. Strong air intake from this type of equipment can disturb the combustion process and cause damage or personal injury.
WARNING: The heater shall not be located in an area
AA
where water sprinklers, or other devices, may cause water to spray through the cabinet louvers and into the heater. This could cause internal rusting or damage electrical components, and void the warranty.

2. WATER CHEMISTRY
NOTE: Corrosive water voids all warranties.
Chemical imbalance can cause severe damage to your heater and associated equipment. Maintain your water chemistry according to Table A. If the mineral content and dissolved solids in the water become too high, scale forms inside the heat exchanger tubes, reducing heater eciency and damaging the heater. If the pH drops below
7.2, this will cause corrosion of the heat exchanger and severely damage the heater. Heat exchanger damage
resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty.
For your health and the protection of your pool equipment, it is essential that your water be chemically balanced. The following levels must be used as a guide for balanced water.
CAUTION: Free chlorine must not exceed 5 ppm which
AA
can damage the heater and is not covered under warranty.
Automatic chemical dosing devices and salt chlorinators are usually more efficient in heated water, unless controlled, they can lead to excessive chlorine level which can damage your heater.
Further advice should be obtained from your pool or spa builder, accredited pool shop, or chemical supplier for the correct levels for your water.
2.1. Automatic Chlorinators
and Chemical Feeders
All chemicals must be introduced and completely diluted into the pool or spa water before being circulated through the heater. Do not place sanitizing chemicals in the skimmer. High chemical concentrations will result when the pump is not running (e.g. overnight).
Chlorinators must feed downstream of the heater and have an anti-siphoning device to prevent chemical backup into the heater when the pump is shut o.
See plumbing diagrams on Figure 29 and Figure 30.
Occasional chemical shock dosing of the pool or spa water should not damage the heater providing the water is balanced.

If your heater has been installed correctly, operating the heater is an easy task. The upper front panel of the heater contains the control center that allows you to turn the heater On or O and adjust the temperature settings for the pool or spa. The temperature range is factory set from 65°F (18°C) to 104°F (40°C). See Figure 1 for location of toggle switch to turn the heater On and O.
See Section 8 for additional details about the use of the controls in the Control Adjustments subsection.
3.2. Before Start-Up
3.2.1. Burners
Clean main burners and air louvers of dust, lint and debris. Keep heater area clear and free from combustibles, ammable liquids and chemicals. Do not obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilation air.
3.2.2. Water
Water must be owing through the heater during operation. Ensure that the system is lled with water and that the pump is operating.
3.3.1. Atmospheric Heaters
With the heater on, remove the door and make a visual check of the pilot and burner. The ame should be blue with a well-dened pattern.
A yellow or “oating” ame indicates restricted air openings or incorrect orice size. Should this occur, shut the heater o and contact your installer or gas supplier.
WARNING: Operation of the heater without water
AA
circulation will cause rapid and severe damage to the heater, and will void the warranty.
3.4. Caution
Elevated water temperature can be hazardous. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has these guidelines:
1. Spa water temperatures should never exceed 104°F (40°C). A temperature of 100°F (38°C) is considered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested for young children.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness which could lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in drowning.
3. Pregnant Women Beware! Soaking in water over 102°F (39°C) can cause fetal damage during the first three months of pregnancy resulting in the birth of a brain-damaged or deformed child. Pregnant women should stick to the 100°F (38°C) maximum rule.
4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should check the water temperature with an accurate thermometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F (2.2°C).
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes, or blood pressure problems should obtain a physician’s advice before using pools or hot tubs.
6. Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines, or anticoagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.
3.2.3. After Start-Up
Feel the inlet and outlet pipes. Outlet pipe should be only slightly warmer than the inlet. It should not be hot.
WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas
AA
supply fail to shut o, turn o the manual gas control to the appliance.

WARNING: Check the heater for possible rodent nests
AA
after long periods of non-use.
To be followed one month after start-up and then semi­annually.
1. Inspect top of heater and drafthood for soot, a sticky black substance around finned tubes and “V” baffles, and open flue gas passageways. Any visible soot should be cleaned for proper operation.
CAUTION: Soot may be combustible. Wet sooted
AA
surfaces completely prior to cleaning. Do not use steel wire brush.
2. Clean main burners and pilot burner of dust and lint.
3. Inspect and operate all controls, gas valve and pressure relief valve (if equipped).
4. Make visual check of the burner and pilot flames. Yellow flame means restriction of the air openings. Lifting or blowing flame indicates high gas pressure. Low flame means low gas pressure. Should the latter occur, shut the heater off and contact your gas supplier or qualified service agency.
5. On indoor heaters, clean room intake openings to ensure adequate flow of combustion and ventilation air.
CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated
AA
by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater and void the warranty.
6. Keep area around heater clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable and corrosive vapors and liquids.
If Heater Will Not Fire:
If you have no electrical power, it may be that your “circuit breaker” has tripped. Try re-setting it.
If you have electrical power but the heater will not re check the following or see Troubleshooting section:
1. The time clock must be in the “ON” position.
2. Your pump strainer basket may be full. If so remove debris.
3. Your filter may be dirty. If so, backwash or clean filter. (To tell if your filter is dirty, look to see if the filter pressure will be higher than usual).
4. The pump may have lost its prime and be running dry. Check the pressure on the filter. If there is no pressure; then you are not moving water (or your gauge is broken). Try to get the pump to run at its normal flow rate.
5. Check flow switch operation and paddles (“F” paddle on 268 or “A” paddle on 408).
3.6. Cold Weather Operation
3.6.1. Important Freeze Information
MODERATE CLIMATE: Heater operation can continue
during short-term cold spells. When temperatures are between 0° (-17°C) and 32°F (0°C), ow (continuous pump operation) must be maintained.
CAUTION: Do not use the heater to maintain water
AA
temperatures just above freezing or for freeze protection. When heater is used during freezing weather, care must be taken to avoid freeze-ups. Continuous pump operation is a must. Additional protection may be required. The heater is not warranted against freeze-ups.
COLD CLIMATE: Prolonged operation with water
temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended. When starting the heater with water temperatures below 50°F (10°C), operate the heater continuously until higher temperatures are reached. Operating the heater for prolonged periods with pool water below 50°F (10°C) can seriously damage the heater, and is not covered by the warranty. For cold climate areas, please follow the winterizing procedures listed.
3.6.2. Winterizing the Pool and Spa

Table C. Reduction of Clearances to Protected Surfaces
When installed according to the listed minimum clearances from combustible construction, the pool heater can still be serviced without removing permanent construction around the heater.
However for ease of servicing, we recommend a clearance of at least 24" (610 mm) in the front, and at least 18" (457 mm) on the water connection side.
10
Page 11
This will enable the heater to be serviced in its installed
PAGODA TOP
location, that is, without movement or removal of the heater. Clearances less than these (6" [152 mm] minimum), may require removal of the heater to service either the heat exchanger or the burner tray. In either case, the heater must be installed in a manner that will enable the heater to be serviced without removing any structure around the heater.
5.2.2. Flooring
This heater can be installed on combustible ooring. The combustible clearances listed can be reduced by protecting the exposed combustible surfaces as shown in
Table C.
5.3. Outdoor Heater Installation
These heaters are design-certied for outdoor installation, when equipped with the approved tops designated for outdoor use.
WARNING: The heater shall not be located in an area
AA
where water sprinklers, or other devices, may cause water to spray through the cabinet louvers and into the heater. This could cause internal rusting or damage electrical components, and void the warranty.
For U.S. installations, the point from where the ue
products exit the heater must be a minimum of 4' (1.2m) below, 4' (1.2 m) horizontally from, or 1' (0.3 m) above any door, window or gravity inlet into any building. The top surface of the heater shall be at least 3' (0.9 m) above any forced air inlet, or intake ducts located within 10' (3 m) horizontally.
For installations in Canada, pool heaters shall not be installed with the top of the vent assembly within 10' (3 m) below, or to either side, of any opening into the building. Refer to the latest revisions of CAN/CSA-B149.
5.3.1. Pagoda Top Installation

5.5. Vent Piping
WARNING: Indoor heaters require a drafthood that
AA
must be connected to a vent pipe and properly vented to the outside. Failure to follow this procedure can cause re or fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.
Vent piping the same size as the drafthood outlet is recommended, however, when the total vent height is at least 10 ft (drafthood relief opening to vent terminal), the vent pipe size may be reduced by no more than one (1) size as specied in Chapter 13 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (Canada - CAN/CSA-B149). As much as possible, avoid long horizontal runs of vent pipe and too many elbows. If installation requires horizontal runs, the vent pipe must have a minimum of 1/4 in. per ft rise and should be supported at not more than ve foot intervals. Plumbers tape, criss-crossed, will serve to space both horizontal and vertical piping. Gas vents supported only by the ashing and extending above the roof more than ve feet should be securely guyed or braced to withstand snow and wind loads. We recommend use of insulated vent pipe spacers through the roofs and walls. Another option for installation that requires horizontal runs is using the D-2 power vent kit option.

Table G. Power Vent Kit Part Number
For protection against rain or blockage by snow, the vent pipe must terminate with a vent cap which complies with the local codes or, in the absence of such codes, to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (Canada - CAN/CSA-B149).
The discharge opening must be a minimum of 2' (0.6 M) vertically from the roof surface and at least 2' (0.6 m) higher than any part of the building within 8' (2.4 m). Vent stack shall be at least 5' (1.5 m) in vertical height above the drafthood outlet. The vent cap location shall have a minimum clearance of 4' (1.2 m) horizontally from, and in no case below, unless a 4' (1.2 m) horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment.
The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest on heater drafthood. Support must be provided in compliance with applicable codes. The heater top and drafthood must be readily removable for maintenance and inspection. Vent pipe should be adequately supported to maintain proper clearances from combustible construction. This unit operates under venting Category I conditions, with natural draft.
Type “B” double-wall or equivalent vent pipe is recommended. However single-wall metal vent pipe may be used as specied in the latest edition of the National Flue Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (Canada - CAN/CSA-B149).

UG SPRING
Gather the loose items that were shipped with the heater.
Figure 19. Water Connection Components
The components should be assembled onto the inlet and outlet header of the unit as shown below.
The heater must be located so that any water leaks will not damage the structure of adjacent area. High temperature 2" plastic pipe (CPVC) may be threaded directly into the header anges. This is not the same as the Schedule 80 PVC pipe which is also gray. PVC may be used immediately after the supplied CPVC adapters.
DO NOT use petroleum-based assembly uids (such as petroleum jelly or lubricating oil). If assembly lube is required, use a silicon base such as AquaLube etc.
5.8. Unitherm Governor Operation
CAUTION: The patented Unitherm Governor is a
AA
thermostatic mixing valve specically designed to maintain constant heater internal temperature between 105° (41°C) and 115°F (46°C) despite continually changing ow rates from the lter and changing pool temperatures. This narrow range is needed to prevent damaging condensation on the burners which will occur if the heater runs for any length of time below 100°F (38°C). It is also needed to inhibit scale formation in the tubes by maintaining temperatures well below accelerated scaling temperatures.
Figure 20. Water Connection Assembly
Once all components are in place and installed properly, the water connections will appear as shown below:

In addition to the Unitherm Governor, a built-in automatic bypass valve is provided in the in/out header. While the Unitherm Governor responds to the changes in water temperature in the heater, the internal bypass valve automatically responds to changes in water pressure in the piping system. Proper amount of water ow is maintained through the heater under varying pressures dictated by the conditions of the pump and lter.

Where Required - An auxiliary bypass valve should
be used when ow rates exceed 125 GPM (473 lpm). Usually a high-performance pump size larger than two horsepower will exceed this ow rate. This valve is required to complement the function of the automatic bypass valve, particularly when starting the heater in winter or early spring when the spa or pool temperature is below 50°F (10°C). It also serves to eliminate needless pressure drop through the heater and accompanying reduction in the ow rate to the spa jets, etc.

Installation
To conform to local building codes, it may be necessary to install a pressure relief valve. A 3/4" pressure relief valve, having a capacity equal to the BTUH output of the model to be installed, is recommended for this heater. The maximum acceptable pressure relief valve setting is 125 psi.
PRV
Figure 25. Pressure Relief Valve
NOTE: To avoid water damage or scalding due to valve operation, drain pipe must be connected to valve outlet and run to a safe place of discharge. Drain pipe must be the same size as the valve discharge connection throughout its entire length and must pitch downward from the valve. No shut-o valve shall be installed between the relief valve and the drain line. Valve lever should be tripped at least once a year to ensure that waterways are clear.

5.13. Plumbing
5.13.1. Water Connection
The heater requires water ow and positive pressure to re and operate properly. It must therefore be installed downstream of the discharge side of the lter pump. SeeFigure 29 and Figure 30.
A typical installation is plumbed as follows:
1. The inlet side of the filter is plumbed directly to the discharge side of the filter pump;
2. The outlet side of the filter is then plumbed to the inlet of the heater; and
3. The outlet of the heater is plumbed to the return line to the pool or spa. The pump, filter and heater are thus plumbed in series (Salt generators and chemical feeders must be down stream of the pool heater).
19
Page 20
Plumbing from the heater back to the pool or spa must
SWAY BRACE
not have any valves or restriction that could prevent ow when the pump is operating.
CAUTION: An additional source of heated water, e.g. a
AA
solar system, must be connected to the main line ahead
of the heater inlet pipe in order for it to act as the primary
heat source. If the primary system provides adequate heat to maintain set-point, the heater will not re. Be advised
that the control panel will then display sensed water
temperatures downstream of the primary heating system, rather than the temperature of the water exiting the pool.
Heater must be located so that any water leaks will not damage the structure of adjacent area.
6.1. Electrical Power Draw
CAUTION: Heater must be electrically grounded and
AA
bonded. Bonding lug is provided loose with the heater. Install bonding lug on lower right or left side of jacket as necessary for bonding the heater. Mounting hole is provided on the jacket.
NOTE: Failure to ground the heater electrically could aect the heater’s electronics.
NOTE: See "Time Clock/Fireman’s Switch" on page 29 for further instructions if using a time clock/reman’s switch.
6. ELECTRICAL WIRING
NOTE: If it is necessary to replace any of the original
wiring, use 105°C wire or its equivalent, and/or 150°C wire or its equivalent, like the original wiring.

8.4.1. Remote Control Installation and
Operation
CAUTION: Before installing remote controls to the
AA
heaters, read the following: The digital thermostat model is remote-ready in most cases. The digital liquid crystal display (LCD) shows the actual pool temperature, operating status, and service codes. See Figure 41. The
touch pad on the control panel allows you to select the
desired pool or spa temperature. It also indicates when a remote system is controlling the heater by displaying Remote in the display. When connecting the heater to a
remote system, identify whether it is a two- or three-wire
remote system. Select the appropriate instruction listed below to properly install the remote to the heater.
8.4.2. Remote Operation
The heaters are equipped with the ability to work with external remote controls. The supplied 7-pin remote wiring connector supplies power out to either a toggle switch or the switch contacts of a third party remote. The remote works by either making or breaking the circuit created by the remote wiring. Typically, a remote does not supply power to the heater, it only provides a switching function to turn the heater On or O. If your remote is supplying
its own voltage to the heater, it will not work with this heater and may damage the digital circuit board. For
operation of the heater using the onboard thermostatic controls with a time clock. See "Time Clock/Fireman’s
Switch" on page 29.

CAUTION: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage can
AA
be caused by direct or indirect contact with the wiring or circuit board. When one walks to the heater area, an electrostatic charge accumulates on the body. Contact of a nger allows the body to discharge, possibly causing device damage. This damage can be limited if the service person discharges himself, following ESD preventive/ removal practices, and holds on to the heater enclosure for 5 seconds before proceeding.
Important Installation Notes for Remote or External Wiring Conguration:
Remote wiring must be run in a separate conduit.
Remote wiring must not be run parallel to high
voltage lines.
For runs of under 30' (9.1 m), remote wiring should have stranded conductors with a minimum of 22 AWG, 600V, cable twisting 1.5" to 2.5" (3.8 to 6.4 cm) lay and jacketed.
For runs over 30' (9.1 m), the conductors should be a minimum of 20 AWG, 600V, cable twisting 1.5" to 2.5" (3.8 to 6.4 cm) lay that is shielded and jacketed.
Maximum cable length is 200' (61 m).
For both two- and three-wire remote systems, the
provided 7-pin wiring connector must be utilized.

GAS VALVE
8.5.5. Flame Roll-Out Safety Switch
The heater is equipped with a thermal cuto device to prevent ame roll-out in the event the heat exchanger becomes blocked. This is a “single-use” type fusible link or thermal fuse, that must be replaced when disabled by an over-temperature condition, caused by excessive restriction in the heat exchanger ue passage.
Figure 47. Flame Roll-Out Safety Switch
8.5.6. High Limits
The heater is equipped with two automatic high limits. One is located in the inlet/outlet header, and the other is located in the return header. Both are set to open at 135°F (57°C).
NOTE: An erratic high limit is often characteristic of an internal heat exchanger problem, e.g. scale build-up, defective bypass. Refer to Troubleshooting section.
2. Shut off gas upstream of heater.
3. Remove front door.
4. Disconnect gas line from gas valve.
5. Remove (2) screws that mount burner tray to unit, and (2) screws that secure gas valve to jacket.

2. Remove inlet/outlet and/or return inspection panel.
3. Remove defective high limit and replace with a new high limit.
4. Replace inspection panel.
8.5.7. Pilot Safety
The heater employs a pilot safety which closes the main gas valve within 8/10ths of a second whenever the pilot ame is interrupted. The pilot ame is automatically lit when the device is powered. The heater performs its own safety check and opens the main valve only after the pilot is proven to be lit.
NOTE: If the heat exchanger is sooted badly, the burner hold-down bracket and spacer can become distorted from direct-ame impingement and this usually necessitates replacement of these parts.
3. Lift burners from slotted spacers and slide from orifices. Clean with a wire brush.
4. Orifices usually do not need to be replaced. To clean, run either copper wire or wood toothpick through orifice. Do not enlarge hole. To remove orifice, use a socket wrench and remove from manifold. DO NOT overtighten when reinstalling.
