FOR YOUR SAFETY - READ BEFORE OPERATING  
WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY  
RESULT,CAUSINGPROPERTYDAMAGE,PERSONALINJURYORDEATH.  
SECTION 1/START-UP PROCEDURES  
BEFORE START-UP  
WATER  
Firstthing,ensurethatsystemisfilledwithwaterand  
have pump operating. Water must be flowing through  
the heater during operation.  
BURNERS  
Clean main burners and air louvers of dust, lint and  
debris. Keep heater area clear and free from com-  
bustibles, flammable liquids and chemicals. Do not  
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilating air.  
CAUTION: Propane gas is heavier than air and will  
settle on the ground. Since propane can accumulate in  
confined areas, extra care should be exercised when  
lightingpropaneheaters.

which automatically lights the pilot. Do not try to  
light the pilot by hand.  
C. Useonlyyourhandtopushinorturnthegascontrol  
knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in  
or turn by hand, do not try to repair it; call a qualified  
service technician. Force or attempted repair may  
result in fire or explosion.  
B. BEFORE OPERATING, smell all around the appli-  
ance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor  
because some gas is heavier than air and will settle  
on the floor.  
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:  
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been  
under water. Immediately call a qualified service  
technician to inspect the appliance and to replace  
any part of the control system and any gas control  
which has been under water.  
Do not try to light any appliance.

SECTION 2/CAUTION  
Feeltheinletandoutletpipes. Outletpipeshouldbe  
only slightly warmer than the inlet. It should not be hot.  
Elevatedwatertemperaturecanbehazardous,and  
theU.S.ConsumerProductSafetyCommissionrecom-  
mends the following guidelines:  
WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas  
supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control to  
the appliance.  
1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never  
exceed104°F(40°C).Atemperatureof100°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.  
VISUAL INSPECTION  
With the heater on, remove the door and make a  
visual check of the pilot and burner.  
The flame should be blue with a well-defined pat-  
tern.  
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. Preg-  
nant women should stick to the 100°F (38°C)  
maximum rule.  
4" Max.  
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).

circulatory problems, diabetes, or blood pressure  
problemsshouldobtainaphysician’sadvicebefore  
using pools or hot tubs.  
6. Persons taking medications which induce drowsi-  
ness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines, or anti-  
coagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.  
SECTION 3/MAINTENANCE AND CARE  
PROCEDURES  
PILOT BURNER FLAME  
A yellow or “floating” flame indicates restricted air  
openings or incorrect orifice size. Should this occur,  
shut the heater off and contact your installer or gas  
supplier.  
To be followed one month after start-up and then semi-  
annually.  
1. Inspect top of heater and drafthood for soot, (a  
sticky black substance around finned tubes and “V”  
baffles), and open flue gas passageways.  
WATER PRESSURE SWITCH  
A water pressure switch is provided in the heater to  
shut off the burners in the event that water supply to the  
heater is interrupted. It is very important to verify that  
the switch electrically opens and shuts off the gas valve  
whenwaterflowtotheheaterisinterrupted. Otherwise,  
rapid and severe damage will likely occur to the heater.  
(The water pressure switch should be checked and  
adjusted for proper operation by a qualified service  
personatthetimeofinstallationandperiodicallychecked  
thereafter. Refer to pressure switch servicing instruc-  
tion in Section 4 of this manual).  
CAUTION: Soot may be combustible. Wet sooted  
surfaces completely prior to cleaning. Do not use steel  
wire brush.  
2. Cleanmainburnersandpilotburnerofdustandlint.  
3. Inspect and operate all controls, gas valve and  
pressure relief valve.  
4. Make visual check of the burner and pilot flame.  
Flame pattern on the main burner and pilot is  
indicated in the previous illustration. Yellow flame  
means restriction of the air openings. Lifting or  
blowing flame indicates high gas pressure. Low  
flame means low gas pressure. Should this occur,  
shut the heater off and contact your gas supplier or  
qualified service agency.

SECTION 2/GENERAL SPECIFICATION  
Theseheatersaredesigncertifiedandtestedunder  
the requirements of ANSI Z21.56/CSA 4.7 American  
NationalStandardforGas-FiredPoolHeaters.  
All heaters are inter-changeable and can be used  
either indoor or outdoors. The appropriate top desig-  
nated for that type of use is required. If desired, the top  
can be changed at a later date from outdoor to indoor or  
viceversa.  
Rated inputs suitable for up to 2000 feet elevation.  
Forelevationsabove2000feet,reduceinput4%foreach  
1000 feet above sea level, as height elevation reduces  
combustionperformance.  
CODE REQUIREMENT  
NOTE: The heater should not be located in an area  
where possible water leakage will result in damage to  
the area adjacent to the appliance or to the structure.  
When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recom-  
mended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained,  
be installed under the appliance. The pan must not  
restrict combustion air flow.

WARNING: The heater shall not be located in an area where water sprinklers, or other devices, may cause water  
to spray through the cabinet louvers and into the heater. This could cause heavy internal rusting or damage some  
electrical components, and this would void the warranty.  
The point from where the flue products exit the heater must be a minimum of four (4) feet below, four (4) feet  
horizontally from or one (1) foot above any door, window or gravity inlet to a building. The top surface of the heater

NOTE: 1. When 2” piping is used into the heater, this  
piping must be anchored (copper) or screwed into the  
flange (metal) if operating pressures above 30 PSI are  
encountered.  
2. Any restrictions between heater outlet and  
pool will void the warranty.  
PLUMBING FOR WATER CONNECTIONS  
LOCATION  
Theheaterrequireswaterflowandpositivepressure  
tofireandoperateproperly. Itmustthereforebeinstalled  
downstream of the discharge side of the filter pump. 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;  
FLOWRATES  
2. The outlet side of the filter is then plumbed to  
the inlet of the heater; and  
3. Theoutletoftheheaterisplumbedtothereturn  
line to the pool or spa. The pump, filter and  
heater are thus plumbed in series.

COMPANIONFLANGECONNECTIONS  
DO NOT use petroleum base assembly fluids (such as  
Petroleum Jelly or lubricating oil). If assembly tube is  
required use a silicone base such as Armoral etc.  
The inlet/outlet header flange accepts a 2” copper  
tube as a slip connection directly into the header. The  
flange is also thread for a 2” copper male threaded  
adapter.  
CAUTION: NEVER install PVC directly into heater.  
Four feet of copper or high temperature pipe and two  
elbows are required between the heater and the PVC  
connections
