INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
TECHNICIAN, QUALIFIED IN POOL HEATER INSTALLATION.
Waterco strongly recommends that all vents, pipes and exhaust systems be initially and periodically tested for proper operation. This testing can be accomplished by using a handheld carbon monoxide meter and/or by consulting with a gas professional.
Pool heaters must be used in conjunction with carbon monoxide detectors installed near the pool heater. The carbon monoxide detectors must be periodically inspected for proper operation so as to insure continued safety. Broken or malfunctioning carbon monoxide detectors must be replaced immediately.
HEATER DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 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 flame holder. A sealed heat exchanger surrounds the flame holder, discharging exhaust gases out the flue.
Five (5) cm PVC water piping connects directly to the manifold/ header on the heat exchanger using 5 cm 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. The heater operator control panel board assembly is located on top of the heater.

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: above 53° C (127° F), and
automatic gas shut-off (AGS) switch, which opens if the heat exchanger outlet temperature goes above 60° C (140° F).
• the reaches 249° C (480° F).
• the
goes above 55° C (131° F), and....
inlet temperature control switch, which opens if the inlet temperature goes above
45° C (110° F).
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.
PUTTING THE HEATER INTO SERVICE
If the heater is installed below the level of the pool, or more than 0.6 meters (2 feet) above pool level, the pressure switch setting should be adjusted. See “WATER PRESSURE SWITCH” in the “SAFETY CONTROLS Section” (page 32) and the “CAUTION” under “BELOW POOL
INSTALLATION Section” (page 12).
Before putting the heater into service for the first time, follow the instructions under “BEFORE
START-UP” (page 30) in the front of this manual. Check for proper operation of the heater by following the steps under “OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS.”
Damage to equipment caused by improper installation or repair will void the warranty.
SPECIFICATIONS
These installation instructions are designed for use by qualified personnel only, trained especially for installation of this type of heating equipment and related components.

!
CAUTION
Before operating the heater on a new installation, turn on the circulation pump and bleed all the air from the filter using the air relief valve on top of the filter. Water should flow freely through the heater. Do not operate the heater unless water in the pool/spa is at the proper level. If a manual by-pass is installed, temporarily close it to insure that all air is purged from the heater.
VALVES
When any equipment is located below the surface of the pool or spa, valves should be placed in the circulation piping system to isolate the equipment from the pool or spa. Check valves are recommended to prevent back-siphoning. Backsiphoning 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.
!
CAUTION
Exercise care when installing chemical feeders so as to not allow back siphoning of chemical into the heater, filters or pump. When chemical feeders are installed in the circulation of the piping system, make sure the feeder outlet line is down stream of the heater, and is equipped with a positive seal noncorrosive “Check Valve”, (P/N
R172288), between the feeder and heater.
MANUAL BY-PASS
( WATER FLOW RATE)
Where the water flow rate exceeds the maximum 454 LPM, a manual bypass should be installed and adjusted. 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 avoid tampering.
See Figure 4.

WATER CONNECTIONS
The heater requires proper water flow and pressure for its operation. See Figure 5 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
454 LPM (120 GPM). See “WATER FLOW RATE” on page 11 - Table 1 for setting of the manual by-pass valve.
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 for below pool as noted below,
Figure 5.
or winterizing valves where needed). 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 the chemical feeder downstream of the heater. Install a chemical resistant one-way check valve between the heater and the chemical feeder to prevent back-siphoning through the heater when the pump is off.
NOTICE: If the heater is plumbed in backwards, it will cycle continuously. Make sure piping from filter is not reversed when installing heater.
Connect the heater directly to 5 cm 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.
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.
Local codes may require the installation of a pressure relief valve (PRV), see page 50 for
“PRESSURE RELIEF INSTRUCTIONS”.
BELOW POOL INSTALLATION
If the heater is below water level, the pressure switch must be adjusted. This adjustment must be done by a qualified service technician.
See following CAUTION before installation.
!
CAUTION
BELOW OR ABOVE POOL INSTALLATION
The water pressure switch is set in the factory at 21 kPa (± 5 kPa). This setting is for a heater installed at pool level. If the heater is to be installed more than 0.3 m above or below, the water pressure switch must be adjusted by a qualified service technician.
See page 36, Figure 28.
Section 3. Installation
I pg 14
FLOW SWITCH
If the heater is installed more than 1.5 m above the pool or more than 1.2 m below the pool level, you will be beyond the limits of the pressure switch and a flow switch must be installed. Locate and install the flow switch externally on the outlet piping from the heater, as close as possible to the heater. Connect the flow switch wires in place of the water pressure switch wires.
GAS CONNECTIONS
GAS LINE INSTALLATIONS
The gas supply must be installed in accordance with the Gas Installation Code, AS/NZS 5601.1, as applicable and all applicable local codes.
Before installing the gas line, be sure to check which gas the heater has been designed to burn.
This is important because different types of gas require different gas pipe sizes. The rating plate on the heater will indicate which gas the heater is designed to burn. Table 2 below shows the recommended gas inlet pipe sizes required for the distance from the gas meter to the heater.
The table is for natural gas at a specific gravity of .65 and propane at a specific gravity of 1.55.
When sizing gas lines, calculate 0.9 additional meters of straight pipe for every elbow used.
When installing the gas line, avoid getting dirt, grease or other foreign material in the pipe as this may cause damage to the gas valve, which may result in heater failure.
The gas meter should be checked to make sure that it will supply enough gas to the heater and any other appliances that may be used on the same meter. Insufficient gas supply will cause the heater to operate below its designed performance or not at all. The gas line from the meter will usually be of a larger size than the gas valve supplied with the heater. Therefore a reduction of the connecting gas pipe will be necessary. Make this reduction as close to the heater as possible. Gas supply companies are increasingly supplying natural gas to new installations with 2.75 kPa; this means if the gas pressure is not adjusted to the correct working pressure, the heater will be over gassed and cause serious damage within minutes. This damage is not covered under the heater warranty.
Install a manual shut-off valve that conforms with Type 1 or Type 2 as per AG201 and/or AS4617 standards, and a sediment trap/drip leg and union located outside the heater panels, see Figure
6. Do not use a restrictive gas cock.
The heater and any other gas appliances must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing on that system, (greater than 6.0 kPa). The heater and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing the heater in operation.
Do not use flame
to test the gas line. Use soapy water or another nonflammable method.
NOTE
A manual main shut-off valve must be installed externally to the heater.
!
WARNING
DO NOT INSTALL THE GAS LINE UNION INSIDE THE HEATER CABINET. THIS WILL
VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

1 8 m (26 ft.)
*Minimum vent length is 0.34M (1 ft.) or in accordance with vent manufacturer’s instruction, and local and national codes. Horizontal vents 1 m (3 in) or less in length do not require a condensate tee, but must slope down toward the outlet at 2 cm to the meter (1/4 in / ft.) to allow condensate to drain.
Table 7.
NOTE
It is recommended that vent runs over 5.4 m (18 feet) may need to be insulated to reduce condensation related problems and/or the use of a condensate trap in the vent run close to the heater may be necessary in certain installations such as cold climates. Horizontal vents 1 m (3 feet) or less in length do not require a condensate tee. The Turbotemp heater is suitable for throughthe-wall venting.
Flue gases may escape into the dwelling with any cracks or loose joints in the vent pipe, or
improper vent installation. The vent pipe must be of a sealed-seam construction and for operating temperatures less than 204° C (400°F). Vent pipe construction will be of AS/NZS
5601.1 approved non-corrosive material, such as stainless steel. A condensate trap may be needed. The use of “Approved” thimbles, roof jacks and/or side vent terminals are required; and the proper clearances to combustible materials must be maintained in accordance with type of vent pipe employed—in the absence of a clearance recommendation by the vent pipe manufacturer, the requirements of the Uniform Mechanical Code should be met. The ventilation
air requirements for the Turbotemp heater can be found on page 20. It is recommended that vent runs over 5.4 M (18 ft) may need to be insulated to reduce condensation related problems and/or the use of a condensate trap in the vent run close to the heater may be necessary in certain installations such as cold climates. Horizontal vents 1 M (3 ft) or less in length do not require a condensate tee. The Turbotemp heater is suitable for through-the-wall venting.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
– Do not try to light any appliance.
– Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
– Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone.
Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
– If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the Fire Department.
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control on or off. Never use tools. If you cannot change the ON/OFF setting by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Forced or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
E. Do not operate the pool heater unless the pool or spa is properly filled with water.
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 shut-down, run filter pump for several minutes to clear all air from the system.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. STOP! Read the safety information on (page 34).
External Manual
Shut-off Valve
2. Set both pool and spa thermostats to the lowest settings.
3. Turn off all electric power to the appliance.
4. This appliance does not have a pilot. It is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.
5. Turn off the outside external manual shut-off gas valve, see Figure 27.
Figure 27.
6. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you then smell gas, STOP! Follow “B” in the
“Before Start-up” instructions (page 34). If you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.
7. Turn on the outside external manual shut-off gas valve, see Figure 27.
8. Set 3-way valves on inlet and outlet to pool or spa, as appropriate.
9. Turn on all electric power to the appliance.
10. Press either the POOL ON or SPA ON button switch on the operating control.
11. Set the thermostat to desired setting (NOTICE: Setpoint must be above actual water temperature or burner will not fire). See “OPERATING the CONTROL PANEL”.
12. The blower should come on immediately, and after about 20 seconds, the burner should fire. When operating for the first time, the burner may not fire on the first try because of air in the gas line. If it does not fire at first, push the OFF switch, wait five minutes, and again push the POOL or SPA ON switch. The burner should fire after about 20 seconds. You may have to repeat this until all of the air has cleared the gas line.
13. The burner should fire until the pool/spa temperature reaches the desired temperature set on the thermostat. The blower will continue to run for about 45 seconds after the burner shuts off. If any of the safety interlocks should open during burner operation, the burner shuts off immediately, but the blower continues to run for about 45 seconds. Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance.
Section 4. Operation
I pg 38
14. If the appliance will not operate, follow the instructions below “TO TURN OFF GAS TO THE
APPLIANCE”, and call your service technician or gas supplier.

WARNING
Hazardous pressure. Do not bypass the Water Pressure
Switch or render it inoperable.
Water
Pressure
Switch
The water pressure switch, (see Figure 29). 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 Water Pressure Switch is factory set at 20.6 kPa (3.00 psi).
NOTE: See, Below Pool Level
Installation instructions on page 13. If the pressure switch is .3M
(1 ft.) below or above the pool water level, reset the switch so that
Figure 29.
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 Figure 30. Test the switch after resetting.
NOTICE: When the heater is mounted more than 1.5M (5 ft.) above or 1.2M (4 ft.) 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 and
will void the warranty.

Figure 32.
1. Turn the Operating Control OFF.
2. Press TEMP or TEMP for 5 seconds. The display will flash once and change modes
(°C to °F or vice versa).
3. Turn the Operating Control ON.
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 temperature 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 insufficient 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 back-washing). 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” on page 36), and have a qualified service technician check the system.
!
WARNING
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 Switch Off Gas to the Appliance,” and call a qualified service technician to repair unit.
TEMPERATURE SETTING
The heater comes factory set at 25.6° C (78° F). for the pool mode and 37.8° C (100° F). for the spa mode. Using the up and down arrows, you can set the pool/spa thermostats to a minimum temperature of 18.3° C (65° F.), or a maximum of 40° C (104° F).

Heater Will Not Fire - D
IMPORTANT! READ ME FIRST!
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 voltmeter 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.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
!
WARNING
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 heater panels and venting system to make sure that there are no obstructions to the flow of ventilating air or burner exhaust.
2. Keep the area in and around the heater clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and corrosive liquids.
3. If applicable, test the operation of the pressure relief valve by lifting the valve lever. (See below for “PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE” instructions.)
4. Test for proper operation of the pressure switch. (See “WATER PRESSURE SWITCH” for testing instructions.)
5. 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.
DE-LIMING THE HEATER
!
WARNING
Working with muriatic acid can be dangerous. When cleaning elements always wear rubber gloves and eye protection. Add acid to water, do not add water to acid. Splashing or spilling acid can cause severe personal injury and/or property damage.
Should a heater require de-liming, this may be accomplished by circulating a solution of 30%
Muriatic Acid. This process should only be performed by a person of sufficient skill. The heater
MUST be disconnected from the pool plumbing, gas plumbing, and electric. The heater may be placed on its side with the water manifold “up”. The diluted muriatic acid may be recirculated until visible bubbles are no longer produced. Before being restored to service, the heater water ways should be completely rinsed with regular tap water.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
Local codes may require installation of a pressure relief valve (PRV). Purchase separately and install a 19 mm pressure relief valve complying with the local Plumbing
Codes, having a capacity equal to the Mega Joule (MJ/hr) rating of the heater. The relief pressure of the valve MUST
NOT EXCEED 344 kPa.
The relief valve must be installed vertically. To install the valve, use a 19 mm x 5 mm brass nipple at the manifold, the two brass elbows and nipples are (user supplied), as illustrated in Figure 35. 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.
Drill thru the NPT Port, then use a 19 mm Brass Nipple and
Elbow (user supplied) for a
PRV Installation.
Figure 35.
!
WARNING
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.
AFTER START-UP
CHECKING WATER FLOW
!
WARNING
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 36, 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 20° C (68° F) 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.
Section 6. Maintenance
I pg 52
WINTER OPERATION
!
CAUTION
Operating this heater continuously at water temperatures below 20° C (68° F.) will cause harmful condensation and will damage the heater and void the warranty.
• If the heater has been drained for freezing condition, do NOT turn “ON” until the system is circulating water.
• Water trapped in the heat exchanger can result in freeze damage to the exchanger or headers. Freeze damage is specifically not covered by the warranty.
• When starting the heater for the swimming season with a water temperature below
10° C (50° F), 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 20° C (68° F). 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 0° C (32° F), shut down the heater and winterize it.
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 the external manual shut-off gas valve (located outside the heater).
3. In colder climates where they may be required, open drain cock located on the bottom of the manifold 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 except when needed for winterizing valves). Assist the draining by blowing out the heat exchanger through the pressure switch fitting with low pressure compressed air
(less than 35 kPa or 5 PSI).
!
WARNING
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
35 kPa or 5 PSI), 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 outlet 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 START-UP” (page 34) and “CARE AND MAINTENANCE”
(page 48).
(See additional notes under Important Notices in Introduction.)
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 26° C (78° F) or lower; reduce spa temperature to 38° C (100° F).
This is accepted as being the most healthy temperature for swimming by the American Red
Cross.
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 -12° C to -9° C (10° F to 15° F) 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.
CHEMICAL BALANCE
POOL AND SPA WATER
Your Waterco pool heater was designed specifically for your spa or pool and will give you many years of trouble-free service, provided you keep your water chemistry in proper condition.
Water chemistry should follow good swimming pool water chemistry practices. When using a chlorinator, install it down stream from the heater and at a lower level than the heater outlet.
Install a corrosion resistant positive seal “Check Valve”, (P/N R172288), between the heater and the chlorinator to prevent concentrated chemicals from back-siphoning into the heater. Backsiphoning 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.
Three major items that can cause problems with your pool heater are: improper pH, disinfectant residual, and total alkalinity. These items, if not kept properly balanced, can shorten the life of the heater and cause permanent damage.
!
CAUTION
Heat exchanger damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty.
Section 6. Maintenance
I pg 54
WHAT A DISINFECTANT DOES
Two pool guests you do not want are algae and bacteria. To get rid of them and make pool water sanitary for swimming - as well as to improve the water’s taste, odor and clarity - some sort of disinfectant must be used.
Chlorine and bromine are universally approved by health authorities and are accepted disinfecting agents for bacteria control.
WHAT IS A DISINFECTANT RESIDUAL?
When you add chlorine or bromine to the pool water, a portion of the disinfectant will be consumed in the process of destroying bacteria, algae and other oxidizable materials. The disinfectant remaining is called chlorine residual or bromine residual. You can determine the disinfectant residual of your pool water with a reliable test kit, available from your local pool supply store.
You must maintain a disinfectant residual level adequate enough to assure a continuous kill of bacteria or virus introduced into pool water by swimmers, through the air, from dust, rain or other sources.
It is wise to test pool water regularly. Never allow chlorine residual to drop below 0.6 ppm (parts per million). The minimum level for effective chlorine or bromine residual is 1.4 ppm.
pH - The term pH refers to the acid/alkaline balance of water expressed on a numerical scale from 0 to 14. A test kit for measuring pH balance of your pool water is available from your local pool supply store; see Table 10.
Muriatic Acid has a pH of about 0. Pure water is 7 (neutral). Weak Lye solution have a pH of 13-14.
RULE: 7.4 to 7.6 is a desirable pH range. It is essential to maintain correct pH, see Table 10.
If pH becomes too high (over alkaline), it has these effects:
1. Greatly lowers the ability of chlorine to destroy bacteria and algae.
2. Water becomes cloudy.
3. There is more danger of scale formation on the plaster or in the heat exchanger tubing.
4. Filter elements may become blocked.
If pH is too low (over acid) the following conditions may occur:
1. Excessive eye burn or skin irritation.
2. Etching of the plaster.
3. Corrosion of metal fixtures in the filtration and recirculation system, which may create brown, blue, green, or sometimes almost black stains on the plaster.
4. Corrosion of copper tubes in the heater, which may cause leaks.
5. If you have a sand and gravel filter, the alum used as a filter aid may dissolve and pass through the filter.
CAUTION: Do not test for pH when the chlorine residual is 3.0 ppm or higher, or bromine residual is 6.0 ppm or higher. See your local pool supply store for help in properly balancing your water chemistry.
RULE: Chemicals that are acid lower pH. Chemicals that are alkaline raise pH.
ALKALINITY High or Low:
“Total alkalinity” is a measurement of the total amount of alkaline chemicals in the water, and control pH to a great degree. (It is not the same as pH which refers merely to the relative alkalinity/acidity balance.) Your pool water’s total alkalinity should be 100 - 140 ppm to permit easier pH control.
A total alkalinity test is simple to perform with a reliable test kit. You will need to test about once a week and make proper adjustments until alkalinity is in the proper range. Then, test only once every month or so to be sure it is being maintained. See your local pool dealer for help in properly balancing the water chemistry.
