SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
This appliance is equipped with an uncon­ventional gas control valve that is factory set with a mani­fold pressure of -.2 inches wc. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Installation or service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. If this control is replaced, it must be replaced with an identical control.
Do not attempt to adjust the gas flow by adjusting the reg­ulator setting.
Risk of fire or explosion from incorrect fuel use or faulty fuel conversion. Do not try to run a heater set
up for natural gas on propane gas or vice versa. Only qual­ified service technicians should attempt to convert heater from one fuel to the other.
Do not attempt to alter the rated input or type of gas by changing the orifice. If it is necessary to convert to a different type of gas, consult your Sta-Rite dealer. Serious malfunction of the burner can occur which may result in loss of life. Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by a Sta-Rite dealer or other qualified agency using factory specified and approved parts.
The heater is available for use with natural gas. It can be converted to propane gas. Refer to the nameplate for the type of gas the heater is equipped to use.
• Use this heater only with natural gas. Do not attempt to
convert it to another type of gas.
• If propane gas is the only available fuel, have a qualified
service technician convert the heater to propane before putting heater into operation.
Risk of fire or explosion from flammable vapors. Do not store gasoline, cleaning fluids, varnishes,
paints, or other volatile flammable liquids near heater or in the same room with heater.
Risk of fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, or asphyxiation if exhaust venting system leaks. Only quali-
fied service technicians should attempt to service the heater, as leakage of exhaust products or flammable gas may result from incorrect servicing.
Risk of explosion if unit is installed near propane gas storage. Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air.
Consult local codes and fire protection authorities about specific installation requirements and restrictions. Locate the heater away from propane gas storage and filling equip­ment as specified by the Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquified Petroleum Gases, CAN/CSA B149.2 (latest edition) or ANSI/NFPA 58 (latest edition).
Risk of asphyxiation if exhaust is not correct­ly vented. Follow venting instructions exactly when installing heater. Do not use a draft hood with this heater,
as the exhaust is under pressure from the burner blower and a draft hood will allow exhaust fumes to blow into the room housing the heater.
The heater is supplied with an integral venting system for outdoor installation. A vent conversion kit (See Page 14 for Part Numbers for Conversion Kits) is available for installa­tions in enclosures (Canada) or indoors (U.S.). Use the specified venting, and only the specified venting, when heater is installed in an enclosure or indoors. In Canada, this pool heater can only be installed outdoors or in an enclosure that is not normally occupied and does not directly communicate with occupied areas. See Page 11 for enclosure venting requirements.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Wiring errors can also destroy the control board.
Connect heater to 120 or 240 Volt, 60 Hz., 1 Phase power only.
Verify proper operation after servicing. Do not allow children to play on or around heater or asso-
ciated equipment. Never allow children to use the pool or spa without adult
supervision. Read and follow other safety information contained in this
manual prior to operating this pool heater.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS/ REQUIREMENTS
NOTICE: Combustion air contaminated by corrosive chemi-
cal fumes can damage the heater and will void the warranty. NOTICE: The Combination Gas Control Valve on this
appliance differs from most appliance gas controls. If it must be replaced, for safety reasons replace it only with an identical gas control.
NOTICE: The jacket covers must be in place to provide proper ventilation. Do not operate the heater for more than five (5) minutes with the jacket covers removed.
This heater is design certified by CSA International as com­plying with the Standard for Gas Fired Pool Heaters, ANSI Z21.56* CSA 4.7, and is intended for use in heating fresh water swimming pools or spas.
NOTICE: Do not use this heater as a heating boiler, water heater, or for heating salt-water pools. This heater is intended for use in heating fresh water swimming pools or spas only.
The heater requires an external 120 or 240 VAC single­phase electric power source.
The heater is design certified by CSA International for installation on combustible flooring. Specified minimum clearances must be maintained to combustible surfaces (see “Installation Instructions”, Pages 9 and 10).
The heater should be located in an area where leakage of the heater or connections will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the heater or to the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suit­able drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the heater. The pan must not restrict air flow.
3
The heater may not be installed within five feet of the inside surface of a pool or spa unless it is separated by a solid fence, wall or other permanent barrier.
Propane (LPG) fired heaters must not be installed in Massachusetts, by order of the Massachusetts State Fire Marshall. For more information, call the Fire Marshall’s office.
DESCRIPTION OF THE HEATER
Figure 2 is a diagram of the heater showing how it operates. Precisely matched orifice plates meter the air and gas into
the mixer. The blower draws the air and gas through the mixer and forces it into the burner’s flameholder. A sealed heat exchanger surrounds the flameholder, discharging exhaust gases out the flue.
Two inch PVC water piping connects directly to the mani­fold/header on the heat exchanger using 2” PVC slip unions provided with the heater. The outer manifold remains cool; no heat sinks are required. A thermal regulator and an inter­nal bypass regulate the water flow through the heat exchanger to maintain the correct outlet temperature.
A plastic jacket with the top half split for access surrounds the assembly. The heater control board assembly, set into the top of the jacket, contains the operating controls.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
An electronic temperature sensing thermistor in the mani­fold adapter inlet controls the heater operation. When the inlet water temperature drops below the temperature set on the operating control, the burner controller supplies power to the combustion air blower through a series of safety interlocks. The interlocks consist of
• the pressure switch (PS), which senses that the pump is
running,
• the high limit switch (HLS), which opens if the heat
exchanger outlet temperature goes above 135°F (57°C), and
• the automatic gas shutoff (AGS) switch, which opens
if the heat exchanger outlet temperature goes above 140°F (60°C).
• the stack flue sensor (SFS), which shuts down the heater
if the flue gas temperature reaches 500°F (260°C).
The air flow switch (AFS) senses the pressure drop across the air metering orifice. As soon as there is sufficient air flow, the AFS closes, closing the circuit to the hot surface igniter (HSI), which ignites the fuel mixture.
On a call for heat, the blower and HSI are energized. In about 20 seconds, the gas valve opens and ignition occurs. The HSI then switches to a sensing mode and monitors the flame.
The heater is equipped with a digital operating control that enables the user to pre-set the desired pool and spa water temperatures. The control enables the user to select between pool and spa heating, and features a digital dis­play that indicates the water temperature.

F. Before operating the appliance for the first time or after
it has been off for an extended time, perform the fol­lowing checklist:
1. Remove debris or other articles from inside the heater and the area around the heater and its exhaust vent. Make sure the ventilation openings are clear of debris or obstruction. For installations in an enclosed space, make sure openings for combustion and ventilation air are unobstructed.
2. Keep heater area clear and free from combustibles, flammable liquids and chemicals.
3. Check that all water connections are tight.
4. Water must be flowing through the heater during operation. Make sure that pool/spa is filled with water and have pump operating. Check that water flow is unobstructed from the appliance. When operating for the first time or after an extended shut­down, run filter pump for several minutes to clear all air from the system.
SPA TEMPERATURE CAUTION
All safety rules recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission should be observed when using a spa or hot tub, including:
1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed 104°F (40°C). A temperature of 100°F (38°C) is consid­ered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is sug­gested for young children.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness which could lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in drowning.
3. Pregnant women beware! Soaking in water above 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 follow 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 temperature.
5. Persons with medical history of heart disease, circula­tory problems, diabetes or blood pressure problems should obtain their physician’s advice before using spas or hot tubs.
6. Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anticoagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.

When either the ▲TEMP or ▼ TEMP buttons are depressed, the digital display will indicate the temperature setting. After five seconds, the display will return to the actual pool/spa temperature.
In addition to the digital temperature display, there are five indicator lights:
The POOL ON light indicates that the pool water tempera- ture is governing operation of the heater.
The SPA ON light indicates that the spa water temperature is governing operation of the heater.
The HEATING light comes on and stays on when the burn­er is firing. This light should be on whenever the burner is on. It blinks when the heater is calling for heat but not fir­ing. If this light is on but the burner fails to come on, one of the “service” lights should come on, indicating a fault in the system.
The SERVICE SYSTEM light indicates that there is insuffi- cient water flow to the heater. If the pump is operating, this usually indicates that the filter and/or skimmers should be cleaned (some filters may require backwashing). If the light remains on after the filter/skimmers have been serviced, the system should be checked by a qualified service tech­nician.
The SERVICE HEATER light indicates a fault in the heater or its controls. If this light comes on, shut down the heater (See TO TURN OFF GAS TO THE APPLIANCE, at left), and have a qualified service technician check the system.
Risk of explosion or fire causing burns or
death if safety interlocks are disabled. DO NOT attempt to
operate heater when SERVICE HEATER light is on or if blower or burner will not start. Instead, follow instructions under “To Turn Off Gas to the Appliance”, at left, and call a qualified service technician to repair unit.
AFTER START-UP
CHECKING WATER FLOW
Fire or flooding hazard. If the unit overheats
and the burner fails to shut off, follow instructions under “To Turn Off Gas to the Appliance”, Page 6, and call a qualified service technician to repair unit.
After start-up, the outlet water pipe should feel slightly warmer than the inlet pipe. If it feels hot, or if you hear the water in the heater boiling, there may not be enough water flow to the appliance. Make sure that the filter is not plugged. If water temperature remains high but the unit continues to operate, turn off the appliance and call your service technician.
SPRING AND FALL OPERATION
If the pool is only used occasionally, lower the pool ther­mostat to 65°F (18°C). and leave the heater on. This will keep the pool and the surrounding ground warm enough so that the heater should restore the pool to a comfortable temperature within about one day.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
The heater may be operated in the wintertime, provided air temperatures remain above freezing and the water temper­ature is not permitted to drop below 65°F (18°C). Extended heater operation with water temperatures below 65°F (10°C) can result in serious damage to the heater and is not covered by warranty.
NOTICE: When starting the heater for the swimming season with a water temperature below 50°F (10°C), the heater may be used to heat the water; however, make sure that the heater operates continuously until the water temperature reaches the heater’s minimum setting of 65°F (18°C).
DO NOT operate this unit outdoors at temperatures below 40°F (4°C).
During cold weather, if there is no danger of freezing, operate the filter pump continuously even if the heater is not operating. If air temperatures are expected to drop below freezing (32°F/0°C), shut down the heater and win­terize it (See ”WINTERIZING”, Page 8). Allowing the heater to freeze will void the warranty.
MAINTAINING POOL TEMPERATURE
To maintain pool temperature, make sure that the heater switch and valving are reset to pool settings after using the spa.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1. Keep the pool or spa covered when not in use. This will reduce heating costs, reduce water evaporation, con­serve chemicals and reduce load on the filtering system.
2. Reduce pool thermostat to 78°F (25°C) or lower; reduce spa temperature to 100°F (38°C).
3. Use a time clock to start the filter pump at 6 a.m. or later. The swimming pool loses less heat after daybreak.
4. For pools used only on weekends, lower the thermostat setting by 10°F to 15°F (5°C to 8°C) during the week to reduce heat loss. A properly sized heater will restore normal temperature within one day.
5. Turn the heater off when the pool will not be used for an extended period.
6. Follow a regular program of preventive maintenance for the heater each new swimming season. Check operation of the heater and its controls.
7
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of fire or explosion from flammable
vapors. Do not store gasoline, cleaning fluids, varnishes,
paints, or other volatile flammable liquids near heater or in the same room with heater.
The following maintenance is recommended every six months and at the start of every swimming season:
1. Inspect the jacket and venting system to make sure that there are no obstructions to the flow of ventilating air or burner exhaust. Check that room air intakes are open and clear of obstructions.
2. Keep the area in and around the heater clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flam­mable vapors and corrosive liquids.
3. Test the operation of the pressure relief valve by lifting the valve lever.
4. Test for proper operation of the pressure switch. (See “SWITCH SETTINGS” for testing instructions).
5. On enclosed installations with high-temperature Special Gas Vent systems, repeat the Final Installation Check, Page 15. Check for evidence of joint leakage. Make sure that joints have not slipped partially or completely apart. Check pipe and fittings for cracks or breaks.
The combustion air blower is permanently lubricated, and does not require periodic lubrication. The burner does not require maintenance or adjustment by the user. Call a qualified service technician if you suspect that the burner may require maintenance.
WINTERIZING (See Figure 7)
For outdoor heaters in freezing climates, shut the heater down and drain it for winter as follows:
1. Turn off electrical supply to the heater and pump.
2. Close main gas control valve and manual gas valve
(located outside the heater).
3. Open drain cock located on the bottom of the mani-
fold adapter, and drain the heat exchanger and mani­fold adapter completely. If heater is below pool water level, be sure to close isolation valves to prevent drain­ing the pool (isolation valves are not required and should not be used on heaters installed above pool water level). Assist the draining by blowing out the heat exchanger through the pressure switch fitting with low pressure compressed air (less than 5 PSI or 35 kPa).
Explosion hazard. Purging the system with compressed air can cause components to explode, with risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only
a low pressure (below 5 PSI or 35 kPa), high volume blow­er when air purging the heater, pump, filter, or piping.
4. Remove the Water Pressure Switch. Plug the port in the
manifold to prevent bugs and dirt from getting into the manifold.
5. Drain the plastic inlet/outlet manifold through the out-
let pipe. If the pipe does not drain naturally to the pool, install a drain cock in the outlet pipe to drain the manifold.
6. Cover air inlet grate with a plastic bag to prevent bugs,
leaves, etc., from getting into the heater.
NOTICE: Water trapped in the heater can cause freeze damage. Allowing the heater to freeze voids the warranty.
To return the heater to service after winterizing:
1. Close drain cock and fittings.
2. Before starting the heater, circulate water through the
heater for several minutes until all air noises stop. See also “BEFORE STARTUP” (Page 4) and “CARE AND MAINTENANCE” (above).

Before putting the heater into service for the first time, fol­low the instructions under BEFORE STARTUP in the front of this manual. Check for proper operation of the heater by following the steps under OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
Damage to equipment caused by improper installation or repair will void the warranty.
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
For heaters located outdoors, using the built-in stackless venting system.
Risk of explosion if a unit converted to propane gas is installed in a pit or other low spot. Propane is
heavier than air. Do not install the heater using propane in pits or other locations where gas might collect. Consult your local building code officials to determine installation require­ments of heater relative to propane storage tanks and filling equipment. Installation must meet the requirements of the Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquid Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 (latest edition) in the U.S., or CAN/CSA B149.2 (latest edition) in Canada. Consult local codes and fire protection authorities about specific installation restrictions.
Locate the heater on a level surface in an open area that is protected from drainage or run-off. Install the heater in an area where leaves or other debris will not collect on or around the heater. Do not install the heater where water (including sprinklers or runoff) will fall directly onto the jacket.
HEATER CLEARANCES – OUTDOOR
The heater must be installed with the top of the vent at least 10 feet (3M) below, or to either side of, any opening into a building.
If the heater is located under a roof or deck overhang, there must be at least three feet (1M) clear space between the bottom of the overhang and the top of the heater exhaust vent. The heater must be at least six inches (15cm) from the nearest wall (clearance for service access will depend on the installation). If the heater is under a roof or deck overhang, the space around the heater must be open on three sides.
The heater is certified for installation on combustible flooring. The following clearances must be maintained from
combustible surfaces:

OUTDOOR SHELTER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This pool heater can only be installed outdoors or in an enclosure that is not normally occupied and does not directly communicate with occupied areas.
Risk of asphyxiation if exhaust is not correct­ly vented. Follow venting instructions exactly when installing heater. Do not use a draft hood with this heater,
as the exhaust is under pressure from the burner blower and a draft hood will allow exhaust fumes to blow into the room housing the heater. Exhaust venting to the outdoors is required for all outdoor shelter installations.
Risk of explosion if a unit converted to propane gas is installed in a pit or other low spot. Propane is
heavier than air. Do not install the heater using propane in pits or other locations where gas might collect. Consult your local building code officials to determine installation require­ments of heater relative to propane storage tanks and filling equipment. Installation must meet the requirements for the Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquified Petroleum Gases, CAN/CSA B149.2 (latest edition) or ANSI/NFPA 58 (latest edition). Consult local codes and fire protection authorities about specific installation restrictions.
The heater is design certified by CSA International for installation on combustible flooring; in alcoves; basements; in closet or utility rooms (in the U.S.)
INSTALLATION IN A GARAGE OR UTILITY ROOM
In Canada, this must be not normally occupied and must not directly communicate with occupied areas.
Risk of fire and explosion if installed at floor level in an automotive garage or near gasoline or flamma­ble liquid storage. Gasoline fumes are heavier than air and
will settle to floor level in closed spaces. Gasoline fumes and spilled gasoline or other volatile liquids (such as some paints and varnishes) will travel across the floor and can be ignited by a gas appliance. In a utility room or residential garage installation, install the heater with the base at least 18 inches (.5M) above the floor. In a garage, install a rail or wall to protect the heater from physical damage by a moving vehicle.
Provide an adequate ventilation air supply (See Table 2, Page 11). Choose a location that will avoid contamination by chemical fumes.
NOTICE: PROPANE (LPG) fired heaters must not be installed in garages in Massachusetts, by order of the Massachusetts State Fire Marshall. For more information, call the State Fire Marshall’s office.
NOTICE: Combustion air contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes can damage the heater and will void the warranty (See Table 1, Page 11).

HEATER CLEARANCES – OUTDOOR SHELTER (Canada) or INDOOR (U.S.)
The following clearances must be maintained from com­bustible surfaces:
TOP ...........................6 INCHES (15cm)
ALL SIDES..................6 INCHES (15cm)
VENT .........................6 INCHES (15cm)
The heater is design certified by CSA International for installation on combustible flooring. For installation on car­peting, the heater must be mounted on a metal or wood panel that extends at least three inches (10cm) beyond the base of the heater. If the heater is installed in a closet or alcove, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel.
On an outdoor shelter installation, the exhaust discharges into a vent pipe. Orient the heater so that the vent pipe does not interfere with adjustment of the operating controls. The operating control panel located on top of the jacket can be rotated for convenient access to the control panel.
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR SUPPLY
For shelter installation, the heater requires air supply open­ings for ventilation and combustion. The minimum require­ments are for two (2) openings: one 12 inches (30cm) from the ceiling for ventilation air and one 12 inches (30cm) from the floor for combustion air, in accordance with the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1, or the National Fuel Gas code, the
CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes, as applicable, and any local codes that may apply.
The minimum net free area in square inches shall be as follows:
OUTDOOR SHELTER VENT INSTALLATION (Canada) or INDOOR INSTALLATION (U.S.)
Always vent the heater to the outdoors.
•Vent it horizontally or vertically using a Special Gas
Vent, (see Table 4, Page 14), or
•Vent it vertically using Type “B” double wall vent con-
nector pipe.
Locate the heater so as to minimize the length of horizon­tal venting and the number of vent elbows required. Horizontal vent runs must slope up 1/4” per foot (2cm/M) from the heater to allow exhaust condensate to drain and must have a condensate drain as described in the venting installation instructions.

OUTSIDE VENT COVER REMOVAL
The heater is supplied from the factory with a built-in stackless outside vent for outdoor installation. Remove the outside vent cover for outdoor shelter installation.
VERTICAL VENTING - NEGATIVE PRESSURE
(See Figures 11 and 12)
Vent the heater vertically in a negative pressure (positive draft) system in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, National Gas and Propane Installation Codes, and local codes. Type “B” Double-wall vent connector is recommended; however sin­gle-wall pipe is allowed by the National Fuel Gas Code in some circumstances. Consult your local code official for detailed information. Do not use a draft hood with this heater.
To connect a negative pressure metal gas vent to the heater, order the appropriate Metal Flue Collar from the chart below:
1. See Table 3, below, to determine allowable vent sizes for your heater.
NOTICE: Table 3 is for installations in which the total later­al vent length (that is, the horizontal distance from the flue collar to the main vertical portion of the vent) is less than 1/2 the total vent height (the vertical distance from the flue collar to the vent termination) and which have three or less elbows in the system. For venting systems which do not meet these conditions, consult the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (U.S.), or the standards CSA B149.1 and B149.2 (Canada).
2. Install the metal Flue Collar in the Vent Body of the heater (located under the outside vent cover). Fasten the metal Flue Collar to the Vent Body with two #10 sheet metal screws. Use UltraCopper
®
silicone RTV to seal the
Flue Collar to the Vent Body. Before connecting the metal Flue Collar to the Vent Body, wet a clean cloth or paper towel with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and vigorously wipe the socket of the Vent Body. Immediately wipe the cleaned surfaces dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. Repeat for the exterior of the 4” end of the metal Flue Collar. Attach the metal Flue Collar to the Vent Body using the RTV supplied with the kit, fol­lowing the vent manufacturer’s instructions (included with kit). Do not use a draft hood with this heater.
3. Attach the vent pipe to the metal Flue Collar with sheet-metal screws.
Risk of fire or asphyxiation if vent is not assembled according to manufacturer’s instructions or if vent parts from different manufacturers are mixed. Vent
parts from different manufacturers ARE NOT interchange­able. Mixing parts from more than one manufacturer may cause leaks or damage to vent. When assembling a vent, pick one manufacturer and be sure that all vent parts come from that manufacturer and are specified by the manufac­turer for your system. Follow manufacturer’s instructions, local code requirements, National Fuel Gas Code require­ments (U.S.) or standards CSA B149.1 and B149.2 (Canada) carefully during assembly and installation.
4. Install vent pipe so that it can expand and contract
freely as the temperature changes. Support the vent pipe according to applicable codes and the vent manufactur­er’s instructions. Pipe support must allow the vent pipe free movement out and back, from side to side, or up and down as necessary, without putting a strain on the heater or vent body. Slope horizontal pipe runs up from the heater at least 1/4” per foot (2cm per meter). Install Listed condensate drains at low points where conden­sate might collect. Plumb condensate drains to a drain through hard piping or high-temperature tubing such as silicone rubber or EPDM rubber – do not use vinyl or other low temperature tubing. Follow drain manufactur­er’s installation instructions.

• At least 7 feet (2.1M) above grade adjacent to walkways or similar traffic areas.
Allow at least three feet (1M) vertical clearance over vent termination when terminating under an overhang or deck.
Avoid corners or alcoves where snow or wind could have an effect. Exhaust may affect shrubbery and some building materials. Keep shrubbery away from termination. To pre­vent staining or deterioration, sealing or shielding exposed surfaces may be required.
8. Fire Hazard. Do not run the heater vent into a common vent with any other appliance. Do not run the Special Gas Vent into, through, or within any active vent such as a factory built or masonry chimney.
Final Installation Check:
Check that horizontal vent pipe runs slope uniformly at least 1/4” per foot (2cm per meter) to condensate drain(s). No sags, no dips, no high or low spots.
Check that vent is supported at elbows, tees, and horizon­tal and vertical runs according to manufacturer’s instruc­tions and code requirements.
Check that vent supports and wall and ceiling penetrations allow free movements up, down, and sideways without putting any strains on the heater or vent body.
Check for at least six inch (15cm) free air clearance between the heater vent pipe and combustible materials.
Check that all joints are completely together and sealed.
WATER CONNECTIONS
The heater requires proper water flow and pressure for its operation. See Figures 15 and 16 for the recommended installation. The filter pump discharges to the filter, the fil­ter discharges to the heater, and the heater discharges directly to the pool or spa.

A manual bypass valve should be installed across the heater when the pump flow exceeds 120 GPM (454 LPM). See instructions below for setting of the manual bypass.
Make sure that the outlet plumbing from the heater con­tains no shut-off valves or other flow restrictions that could prevent flow through the heater (except as noted below). To switch flow between the pool and spa, use a diverter valve. Do not use any valve that can shut off the flow.
Do not use a shut-off valve to isolate the heater unless it is below the level of the pool or spa.
Install a check valve to prevent back-siphoning through the heater when the pump is off.
NOTICE: Improper operation of chemical feeders can cause severe damage to the heater which is not covered by the warranty. Install the chemical feeder downstream of the heater (see “Water Chemistry,” Page 17).
Install a chemical resistant one-way check valve between the heater and the chemical feeder.
NOTICE: If you install a chemical feeder and check valve, you must install a relief valve on the heater. See “Pressure Relief Valve”, Page 18 and 19.
NOTICE: If the heater is plumbed in backwards, it will cycle continuously. Make sure piping from filter is not reversed when installing heater.
WATER PIPING
Connect the heater directly to 2” PVC pipe, using the inte­gral unions provided. Heat sinks are not required. The low thermal mass of the heater will prevent overheating of the piping connected to the pump even if the heater shuts down unexpectedly.

WATER FLOW RATE
Maximum and minimum water flow rates required by the heater are listed below:
If the water flow rate to the heater is above 120 GPM (454 LPM), it must be reduced by installing a manual bypass valve (Figure 17). After installing the valve, adjust the valve to bring the flow rate within the acceptable range. Then remove the valve handle or lock it in place to prevent tampering.
Occasionally a two-speed pump will not develop enough pressure on the low speed to operate the heater. In this case, run the pump at high speed only to operate the heater. If this does not solve the problem, do not try to run the heater. Instead, correct the installation.
Do not operate the heater while an automatic pool cleaner is also operating. If the circulation pump suction is plugged (for example by leaves), there may not be adequate flow to the heater. Do not rely on the pressure switch in this case.
WATER CHEMISTRY
Water chemistry should follow good swimming pool water chemistry practices. See Table 9 (below) for water chem­istry parameters.
When using a chlorinator, install it downstream from the heater and at a lower level than the heater outlet. Install a corrosion resistant positive seal check valve (see Figure 15) between the heater and the chlorinator to prevent concen­trated chemicals from back-siphoning into the heater. Back-siphoning is most likely to occur when the pump stops, creating a pressure-suction differential.
Do NOT sanitize the pool by putting chlorine tablets or sticks into the skimmer(s). When the pump is off, this will cause a high concentration of chlorine to enter the heater, which could cause corrosion damage to the heat exchanger.

WATER PRESSURE SWITCH
Hazardous pressure. Do not bypass the Water
Pressure Switch or render it inoperable.
Switch Settings
The water pressure switch turns off the burner if the water flow is interrupted. If the water flow is restricted, the water pressure switch may prevent the burner from firing and cause the “Service System” light to go on. If the light remains on after the filter has been serviced, have a quali­fied service technician check the system.
For deck-level heater installations, the Pressure Switch is factory set at 3 psi (20.6 kPa). If the pressure switch is one to two feet (.3-.6M) below or one to five feet (.3-1.5M) above the pool water level, reset the switch so that it is open when the pump is off and closed when the pump is running. Turn the star-wheel on the switch clockwise ( ) to raise setting (heater below the pool) and counterclock­wise ( ) to lower the setting (heater above the pool – see Figures 18 and 19). Test the switch after resetting.
NOTICE: When the heater is mounted more than five feet (1.5M) above or two feet (.6M) below the deck level, a
Pressure Switch is no longer adequate. A Flow Switch must be installed instead.
NOTICE: Heater operation with incorrect Pressure Switch setting may cause operation with no water flow. Operation of the heater without sufficient water flow may severely damage it.
Verify proper operation of the water pressure switch at the start of every season and every six months thereafter by the following steps:
1. Lower the thermostat setting to turn off the heater.
2. Wait at least 15 minutes after the burner is off, and then turn off the filter pump.
3. Turn up the thermostat as though to fire the burner.
4. Wait one minute. The “Service System” light should go on but the burner should not fire and the blower should not start. If the blower or burner do start, or if the “Service System” light does not go on, there is a pres­sure switch malfunction. Immediately press the OFF but­ton on the operating control to turn the burner off and call a qualified service technician to check the system.
Live steam hazard. If the Burner and the Pump stop at the same time, wait at least 15 minutes before starting the filter pump to avoid severe damage to the heater.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
Canadian code requires and some U.S. local codes may require installation of a pressure relief valve. Purchase sep­arately and install a 3/4” pressure relief valve complying with the ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, hav­ing a capacity equal to the Btu/hr rating of the heater. The relief pressure of the valve MUST NOT EXCEED 50 PSI.
A 3/4” NPT connection is provided in the manifold for installing a pressure relief valve. The relief valve must be installed vertically. To install the valve, use a 3/4” brass nipple and elbow (user supplied), as illustrated in Figure
20. No valve is allowed to be placed between the manifold adapter and the relief valve.

To avoid water damage or scalding from operation of the relief valve, install a drain pipe in the outlet of the pressure relief valve that will direct water discharging from the valve to a safe place for disposal. Do not install any reduc­ing couplings or valves in the drain pipe. The drain pipe must be installed so as to allow complete drainage from the valve and drain line. The relief valve should be tested at least once a year by lifting the valve lever.
Explosion hazard. Any heater installed with
restrictive devices in the piping system downstream from the heater (including check valves, isolation valves, flow nozzles, or therapeutic pool valving) must have a relief valve installed as described above.
Risk of fire and explosion. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or main­tenance of the Combination Gas Control Valve can lead to fire or explosion, causing loss of life, per­sonal injury, or property damage.
These instructions are for the use of qualified service technicians only!
Do not attempt this procedure unless you have been trained and certified in the care and repair of gas-fired appliances!
Do not attempt this procedure if the following instructions are confusing!
This appliance is equipped with an unconventional gas control valve that is factory set with a manifold pressure of –.2” (–0.5cm) wc. Installation or service must be per­formed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier. If this control valve is replaced, it must be replaced with an identical control.
The combination gas valve incorporates dual shut-off valves and a negative-pressure regulator. For proper operation, the regulated pressure at the outlet manifold of the valve must be 0.2” (0.5cm) wc below the refer­ence pressure at the blower mixer inlet, and the gas valve ‘VENT’ tap must be connected to the endcap air orifice as shown in Figure 21 (above).
Do not attempt to adjust the gas input by adjusting the regulator setting. The correct gas regulator setting is required to maintain proper combustion and must not be altered.
To check that the gas pressure setting is correct, use the following procedure:
1. Turn off the heater and remove the top covers for
access to the Combination Gas Control Valve.
2. Use a 3/16” hex key to remove the plug from the
‘PRESSURE TAP’ port on the outlet side of the
Combination Gas Control Valve.
3. Install a 1/8” NPT barbed fitting into the ‘PRESSURE
TAP’ port. Use a flexible tube to connect it to the low side of a differential pressure gauge or a slope gauge.
NOTICE: If you are using a slope gauge or a differ­ential pressure gauge of less than 3” capacity, close the shutoff valve of the gauge to avoid pulling the liq­uid out of the gauge when the blower starts.
4. Disconnect the tube from the Gas Valve ‘VENT’ port. Connect it to a tube with a tee running to the high side of a differential pressure gauge and to the blow­er’s air orifice grille (See Figure 21, above).
5. Turn on the heater and verify the gas supply pres­sure (Page 20).
6. After the burner ignites, open the shutoff valve of the gauge. The pressure gauge should then read 0.2” wc ±0.1” wc (0.5cm wc ± 0.25cm wc) (0.0” to 0.1” wc (0.0 to 0.2 cm) = rich mixture; 0.3” (.75 cm) and above = lean mixture). (Since the pressure tap is connected to the low side of the gauge, the pressure is actually negative.)
Risk of fire or explosion if Combination Gas Control Valve is incorrectly adjusted. If it is necessary to adjust the gas valve, this must be done only by a qualified service agency.
7. Turn off the heater.
8. Replace the plastic hose between the ‘VENT’ port and the inlet of blower mixer. Remove the barbed fit­ting and replace the plug in the ‘PRESSURE TAP’ port of the gas valve, using a thread sealant approved for use with natural gas and propane.
9. Replace the heater covers and cycle the heater to check for proper operation.

GAS CONNECTIONS
The heater requires a gas supply of not less than 4” (10.2cm) wc and not more than 14” (35.6cm) wc. Gas supply pressures outside of this range may result in improper burner operation. A minimum inlet pressure of 4” (10.2cm) wc is required to maintain input rating.
The gas supply must be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or standard CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes, as applicable and all applicable local codes. Install a manual shut-off valve and a sediment trap and union located out­side the heater jacket (Figure 22). Do not use a restrictive gas cock.
The following gas pipe sizes are recommended for natural gas supply piping. For low pressure LP gas, pipe size may be reduced by 1/4”, with a minimum pipe size of 3/4”. Check for compliance with local codes.
NOTICE: DO NOT use a corrugated flexible gas line to supply the heater. it will not deliver enough gas (at nominal diameter) to supply heater.
PRESSURE TESTING
Before operating the heater, the heater and its gas connec­tions must be leak tested. Test all gas connections for leaks with soapy water.
Risk of fire or explosion. Do not use an open
flame to test for leaks. The heater and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any pres­sure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The heater must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pres­sure testing of the gas supply at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
SUPPLYING POWER TO THE HEATER
The heater requires a 120 or 240V/60Hz/1Ph power sup­ply. Enclose the line to the heater in an approved flexible conduit connected directly to the junction box on the inside of the heater jacket.
Line voltage field wiring should be 14 gauge, with a circuit capacity of 15 amps.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
1. All wiring must be in accordance with all applicable codes.
2. The heater, when installed, must be electrically grounded and bonded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code or the Canadian Electrical Code (as applicable). A bonding lug is provided on the outside of the jacket under the vent for this purpose.
3. Electrical power circuits to the pool heater must follow local codes and National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical Code (as applicable).
4. All wiring between the heater and devices not attached to it, or between separate devices which are field installed and located, shall conform to the specifica­tions of Type T wire (35°C rise).
5. All line voltage wiring shall be enclosed in approved flexible conduit, and shall be securely attached to the field wiring box located inside the jacket. The conduit or cable connector at the field wiring box should con­tain an insulating bushing or its equivalent to prevent abrasion of the wires as they enter the box.
6. The filter pump should run continuously when the
heater is on, and for at least 15 minutes after the heater is off. Any switches in the pump circuit (includ-
ing circuit breakers) that can disconnect the pump must also disconnect the heater.
7. Do not wire single pole switches, including protective devices, into a grounded line. Observe hot/neutral polarity when connecting power to the heater.

Connect the L1 of the power supply to the black wire, the L2 or neutral lead to the red wire, and the ground wire to the green wire (See Figure 23).
A time clock controlling the filter pump should have a low­voltage Fireman’s Switch that switches off the heater at least 15 minutes before shutting off the pump.
FIREMAN’S SWITCH CONNECTION
NOTICE: If, while there is line voltage connected to the
heater, you touch either line voltage terminal with any 24VAC wire that is connected to the control board (includ­ing the Fireman’s Switch jumper), you will immediately destroy the control board and void the warranty.
NOTICE: When using a timer and Fireman’s Switch, the heater’s power supply should come from the load side of the timer. The Fireman’s Switch completes the circuit for the low voltage safety switches. It DOES NOT get any line voltage power from the power supply.
Connect the Fireman’s switch to the heater as follows:
1. Turn off power to heater at main circuit breaker panel.
2. Unbolt and remove the upper jacket halves (see Figure 3, Page 5).
3. Open control box cover (see Figure 24).
4. Remove the factory-installed jumper between the Fireman’s Switch terminals (see Figure 25).
5. Connect the wires between the Fireman’s Switch termi­nals on the heater and those on the time clock using 18 gauge wire with a minimum 3/64” (1.2mm) thick insulation rated for a temperature rise of at least 105°C. Route the wires out through the knockout on the bottom of the Control Box. Use a 90° conduit el and conduit run out through the cutout on the Lower Enclosure, next to the Junction Box (see Figure 23).

NOTICE: Any or all of the diag­nostic LED’s may come “on” momentarily when you turn on the power to the heater.
NOTICE: Installing the black 120 volt plug in the control box and then connecting the heater to a 240 volt line will destroy the
transformer, control board, and ignition control module, and will void the warranty. If you install the red 240 volt plug and then
connect the heater to a 120 volt line, the heater will not operate.
READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:
1. Check the line voltage to your heater. This heater will operate
on either 120 Volts AC or 240 Volts AC.
2. Remove the covers and check the 12-pin plug in the back of the control box. The plug must match the voltage in the heater circuit.
3. If the 12-pin plug is not plugged into the back of the control box, select the correct plug from the bag in the control box and plug it in. The BLACK plug is for 120 volts, the RED plug is for 240 volts.

IMPORTANT! READ ME FIRST!!
If your heater is correctly connected to 240 Volts AC, The Ignition Control Module (ICM) will convert the 240VAC to an intermittent pulse to the ignitor. Digital meters don’t read this type of signal well. (An analog meter will give a better reading than a digital meter). If the ICM is bad, your volt-
meter will read either 0 VAC or 240 VAC. If your ICM is good, your meter will read some voltage between 0 and 240 VAC. Exactly what reading you get will depend on the meter, but with a good ICM, the reading won’t be 0 VAC or 240 VAC, but somewhere in between.
