1. WARNINGS
Pay Attention to These Terms
ADANGER AWARNING ACAUTION
CAUTION NOTE
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.
ADANGER: Failure to install the drafthood on indoor
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 fire, 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.
AWARNING: To minimize the possibility of improper
operation, serious personal injury, fire, or damage to the heater:
· Always keep the area around the heater free of combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors.
· Heater should never be covered or have any blockage to the flow of fresh air
to the heater.
AWARNING: This unit contains refractory ceramic
fiber (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 classified 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 fibers. When cleaning
spills, use wet sweeping or High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtered
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-certified respiratory
protection, to avoid inhalation of airborne dust and airborne fiber particles.
AWARNING: Improper installation, adjustment,
alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury
or loss of life. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
AWARNING: Gasoline, as well as other flammable
materials and liquids (adhesives, solvents, etc.), and the vapors they
produce, are extremely dangerous. Do not handle, use, or store gasoline or
other flammable or combustible materials in the vicinity of a heater.
AWARNING: Both natural gas and propane have
an 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, camouflage, or otherwise make
detecting a gas leak by smell more difficult.
AWARNING: UL-recognized fuel gas detectors are
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.
AWARNING: Do not install within 3 feet (0.9 m) of
a heat 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.
AWARNING: 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 internal
rusting or damage electrical components. Such damage is not covered under
warranty.

ACAUTION: 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.
ACAUTION: 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 lighting propane heaters.
NOTE: It is recommended that the pump be run at least 5 minutes after the
heater has been turned off. This helps in taking away residual heat from the
heat exchanger, thus prevents the safety hi-limits from tripping due to
residual heat after the heater is turned off.
WARNING: Risk of fire. It is recommended that CO monitor and fire alarm be
utilized in rooms that contain gas fired appliances.
2. WATER CHEMISTRY
NOTE: Damage due to poor water chemistry is not a warrantable defect.
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 efficiency 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.
ACAUTION: Free chlorine must not exceed 5 ppm
which can damage the heater and is not covered under warranty.
· Occasional chemical shock dosing of the pool or spa water should not damage
the heater providing the water is balanced.
· 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.
· Check valve should be installed between the heater outlet and a chlorinator
or other chemical dosing device.
· Further advice should be obtained from your pool or spa builder, accredited
pool shop, or chemical supplier for the correct levels for your water.
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 off.
See “Plumbing Diagrams” on page 21.
NOTE: High chemical concentrates from feeders and chlorinators that are out of
adjustment will cause rapid corrosion to the heat exchanger. Such damage is
not covered under the warranty.
Be sure that you receive the number of packages indicated on the Bill of
Lading.

Heaters must not be installed under an overhang of less than 3′ (0.9 m) from
the top of the heater. Three sides must be open in the area under the
overhang. Roof water drainage must be diverted away from the heaters installed
under overhangs with the use of gutters.
For U.S. installations, the point from where the flue 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 Canadian installations, 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.
A minimum of 6′ (1.8 m) is required from the heater to an inside corner wall
for proper outdoor venting.
For installations in Florida and Texas, that must comply with the Florida or
Texas Building Code, follow the directions shown in Figure 5 for the
installation of hurricane tie-down brackets for all models.
Indoor Heater Installation
The heater is also design-certified for indoor installation when equipped with
the approved drafthood and a codecompliant vent stack.
For Canada, indoor installation is restricted to an enclosure that is not
occupied and does not directly communicate with an occupied area. Refer to the
latest edition of CAN/ CSA-B149 for specific requirements. Locate heater as
close as is practical to a chimney or gas vent. Heater must always be vented
to the outside. See section “Vent Piping” on page 14 for details. Minimum
allowable space is shown on the nameplate.
AWARNING: Indoor heaters require a drafthood that
must be connected to a vent pipe and properly vented to the outside. Failure
to follow this procedure can cause fire or fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.
Base Riser (for Canada only)
For all Canada installations, the unit must be installed on a base riser that
is shipped along with the unit. This is in accordance with ANSI-Z21.56. See
IPL for replacement kit information on page 52 (Item 14-S).

Combustion and Ventilation Air
Indoor Units Only
The heater must have both combustion and ventilation air. The minimum
requirements are listed in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code
(U.S. ANSI Z223.1 or Canada CAN/CSA-B149) and any local codes that may have
jurisdiction. The most common approach is the “2-opening” method, with
combustion air opening no more than 12″ from the floor and the ventilation
opening no more than 12″ from the ceiling. For opening sizes using this
method, see below.
All Air from Inside the Building:
Each opening shall have a minimum net free area as noted:

Vent Piping
AWARNING: Indoor heaters require a drafthood that
must be connected to a vent pipe and properly vented to the outside. Failure
to follow this procedure can cause fire or fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.
Flue materials must be certified to CATEGORY I or better. Type “B” double-wall or equivalent vent pipe is recommended. A draft of -0.01″ to -0.08″ WC must be maintained. However, single-wall metal vent pipe may be used as specified in the latest edition of the National Flue Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (Canada – CAN/CSA-B149).
When properly installed outdoors, only the outdoor stackless top (provided) is
required. If installed indoors, a drafthood is required, connected to a
CATEGORY I (a heater that operates with a non-positive vent static pressure
and a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate production in the
vent.) vent per the National Fuel Gas Code and local requirements.
Vent piping the same size as the drafthood outlet is recommended, however,
when the total vent height is at least 10 ft (3 m) (drafthood relief opening
to vent terminal), the vent pipe size may be reduced by no more than one (1)
size as specified in Chapter 13 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
(Canada – CAN/CSA-B149).
D-2 Power Vent Kit
Another option for an installation that requires horizontal runs is the D-2
power vent kit option.

120 VAC P/N 010744 010744 010745 010745
240 VAC P/N 009832 009832 009833 009833
Table J. Power Vent Kit Part Numbers
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 (20.8 mm per meter rise) and should be
supported at not more than five foot (1.5 m) intervals.
Plumber’s tape, criss-crossed, will serve to space both horizontal and
vertical piping. Gas vents supported only by the flashing and extending above
the roof more than 5 ft (1.5 m) should be securely guyed or braced to
withstand snow and wind loads. We recommend use of insulated vent pipe spacers
through the roof and walls.
NOTE: The D-2 Power Vent operates with a positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that prevents excessive condensate production in the vent, and as such, is a CATEGORY III appliance. For more information consult the D-2 Power Vent manual, (P/N: 241243). CATEGORY I vent material such as B-vent must not be used under CATEGORY III conditions.
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 the 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.
Figure 10. D-2 Power Vent Option
The power vent system is a fan-assisted vent system designed for use on models
206A-406A.
The power vent system, when installed as directed, is capable of operating in
applications such as through-thewall venting with reduced horizontal and
vertical vent pipe sizes in new and current installations. The unit is
factorywired for 240 VAC, with capability of field-rewiring for 120 VAC.
For more information consult the D-2 Power Vent manual, (P/N: 241243). This
Manual can be viewed on your smart device. See QR Code on page 46. This manual
can also be found in the document library at www.raypak.com.

Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the heater gas controls, and a
manual shutoff valve located outside the heater jacket. All gas piping should
be tested after installation in accordance with local codes.
ACAUTION: The heater and its manual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa). Dissipate test
pressure in the gas supply line before reconnecting the heater and its manual
shutoff valve to gas supply line. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE
THE GAS VALVE. OVER-PRESSURIZED GAS VALVES ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. The
heater and its gas connections shall be leak tested before placing the
appliance in operation. Use soapy water for leak test. DO NOT use open flame.

ACAUTION: STOP the pool pump before attempting to
remove ProTek Shield Assy. Failure to do so may result in damage to ProTek
Shield Assy, loss of pool water, or personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not use tools to remove (twist) the ProTek Shield Assy or the wing
nut on the stud of the ProTek Shield Assy. Non-warrantable damage may occur.
18
Follow the steps below to replace the ProTek Shield Assy:
1. Shut off the pool pump and bleed pressure from the system.
2. Close isolation valves to minimize pool/spa water loss.
3. Remove wing nut from bottom stud on ProTek Shield Assy.
4. Remove bonding wire ring terminal from stud.
5. Rotate ProTek Shield Assy clockwise (by hand) to unscrew it from the
assembly.
6. Inspect/replace as necessary and reverse above procedure to reinstall.
Hand tighten only! Do not use tools.
Internal Automatic Bypass Valve
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 flow is maintained through the heater under varying
pressures dictated by the conditions of the pump and filter.

Unitherm Governor Operation
SPRING “YELLOW” – 206/266 “GREEN” – 336/406
ACAUTION: The patented Unitherm Governor is
a thermostatic mixing valve specifically designed to maintain constant heater
internal temperature between 105°F (41°C) and 115°F (46°C) despite continually
changing flow rates from the filter 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.

External Auxiliary Bypass Valve
Where Required – An auxiliary bypass valve should be used when flow rates
exceed 100 GPM (378 lpm). Usually a high-performance pump size larger than two
horsepower will exceed this flow 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 flow rate to the spa jets, etc.

Auxiliary Bypass Valve Adjustment
To set bypass, with clean filter, adjustment is made by feeling the inlet and
outlet pipes at the heater. Outlet pipes should be slightly warmer than inlet
and comfortable to the touch. If pipe is hot, close bypass; if cold, open
bypass.
Pressure Relief Valve 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 or
greater than to the BTU output of the model to be installed, is recommended
for this heater.
A 3/4″ NPT connection is provided in the Polymer header for installation of a
pressure relief valve. The valve shall be installed in a vertical position. Do
not over-tighten. Install pressure relief valve hand-tight plus 1/2 turn.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
PRV DISCHARGE CONNECTION
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 shutoff 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.
The heater requires water flow and positive pressure to fire and operate
properly. It must therefore be installed downstream of the discharge side of
the filter pump. See Figure 32 and Figure 33. 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 downstream of the pool heater).
Plumbing from the heater back to the pool or spa must not have any valves or
restriction that could prevent flow when the pump is operating.
IN/OUT HEADER
F10662
Figure 29. Field-Supplied Pressure Relief Valve, Residential Units
A 3/4″ NPT connection is provided in the header for installation of a 75 PSI
(517 kPa) pressure relief valve. The PRV is shipped loose in the accessory
carton with the pagoda top. The pressure relief valve shall be installed in a
vertical position.
ACAUTION: An additional source of heated water,
e.g. a 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 setpoint, the heater will not fire.
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. PVC pipe may be glued directly into the headers unions.

Remote Control Installation and Operation
ACAUTION: Before installing remote controls to
the digital 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 53.
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.
Millivolt models are not designed for operation with remote control system.
Activating the Remote
To activate or deactivate the remote function:
1. Press and hold the UP and DOWN arrow buttons for 3 to 5 seconds.
The second line of the display will alternate even when the unit is off (“No
Demand”).
NOTE: When in remote operation, the keypad mode and temp buttons are disabled.
Remote Operation (Digital models only)
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 Off. 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 31.

ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES
OFF Mode Heating in the POOL Mode Heating in the SPA Mode Remote Mode Figure 53. Remote Control Menu – Remote Operation
ACAUTION: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage
can 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 finger 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 Configuration:
· 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 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 m), the conductors should be a minimum of 20 AWG, 600V,

For millivolt heaters, the fireman’s switch connection is a wire nut located
in the Violet/Black wiring between the manual toggle switch and the gas valve.
heaters, splice into the red/white wire to connect the time clock.
For digital heaters, the fireman’s switch connection is located on the 14-pin
header connected to the digital control board. Splice into the red wire jumper
tagged Where necessary add “Fireman’s” switch circuit here to connect the
time clock.
The fireman’s switch connection on both millivolt and digital heaters must be
a dry contact and must not supply power to the heater. Powering the fireman’s
switch connection externally may damage the heater, and is not covered by
warranty.
Millivolt heaters: Do not exceed 15 ft (4.5 m) of total wiring using 14 AWG
stranded copper wire rated for 105°C minimum.
Digital heaters: Do not exceed 50 ft (15 m) of total wiring using 18 AWG
stranded copper wire rated for 105°C minimum.
NOTE: When using a time clock, the digital heater will display “Clock/Fireman
Sw” when the fireman’s switch is open, indicating that the time clock has shut
off the call-for-heat.
8. While the heater is running, check the adjustment by turning the pump off
and on several times. The burners should shut off immediately when the pump is
turned off. If it does not, repeat the above steps until proper operation is
observed.

MAY REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT FOR LOWER PRESSURE
Water Pressure Switch
The water flow switch ensures that the heater operates only when the filter
pump is in operation. It is located on the In/Out header. It is factory-set at
1.75 PSI for deck-level installations.
Water Pressure Switch Adjustment
When the heater is located below the level of the spa or pool, it may be
necessary to adjust the pressure switch to compensate for the no-flow static
head. If it is necessary to adjust the water pressure switch, utilize the
following procedure:
1. Make sure the pool filter is clean before adjusting the switch.
2. Set the heater control to the OFF mode.
3. Turn the filter pump ON and confirm that the pressure switch is closed
(use a multimeter to check). If the pressure switch fails to close, either the
switch setting is too high or not enough pressure is being supplied by the
filter pump.
4. Turn the heater ON.
5. Manually turn the pressure adjustment knob clockwise until the heater
shuts off. (A flat screwdriver may be necessary if knob is too tight.)
6. Slowly turn the adjustment knob counter-clockwise until the heater calls
for heat again.
7. Turn an additional 1/2 turn counter-clockwise.

Two-Speed Pumps
In some cases, the flow on the low-speed is insufficient to operate the
heater. This is apparent when the water pressure switch cannot be further
adjusted or if the heater makes banging noises or shuts off on high limit. In
these cases, the pump must be run at high speed when heating the water.
32
ACAUTION: Do not operate the heater without the
function of a properly-adjusted water pressure switch or flow switch.
Flame Roll-Out Safety Switch
Heaters are equipped with a thermal cutoff device to prevent flame 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
flue passage.
F10668
Figure 60. Flame Roll-Out Safety Switch
High Limits
The heater is equipped with two high limits. On residential units (polymer
headers), both are automatic and are located in the inlet/outlet header. Both
are set at 135°F (57°C). On commercial units (bronze headers), both are
located on the inlet/outlet header. HL1 is automatic reset and set to open at
160°F (71°C). HL2 is automatic reset and 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” on page 40.
AUTO RESET
Pilot Safety – Millivolt Models
Heaters equipped with the standing pilot (millivolt system) employs a pilot
which act as a safety device to shut down the flow of gas to the main burners
and the pilot burner in case the pilot flame is extinguished. The pilot burner
must be manually re-lighted to place the heater in operation again. Refer to
the lighting instructions provided on the heater label.
Pilot Safety – Digital Models
The heater employs a pilot safety which closes the main gas valve within
8/10ths of a second whenever the pilot flame is interrupted. The pilot flame
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.

Tube Cleaning Procedure
Establish a regular inspection schedule, the frequency depending on the local
water conditions and the severity of service. Do not let the tubes clog up
solidly. Clean out deposits over 1/16″ (1.6 mm) in thickness.
The heater may be cleaned from the return header side, without breaking pipe
connections. It is preferable, however, to remove both headers for better
visibility through the tubes and to be sure the ground-up lime dust does not
get into the system. Note that you do not remove the top panel or the heater
exchanger, generally.
After reaming, mount the wire brush in place of the auger and clean out debris
remaining in the tubes.
Another method is to remove the heat exchanger, ream tubes and immerse heat
exchanger in non-inhibited descale solvent for severe scale build-up.

Burners
Keep heater area clear and free from combustibles, flammable liquids and
chemicals. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Water
Water must be flowing through the heater during operation. Ensure that the
system is filled with water and that the pump is operating.
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 pattern. 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.

On and Off.
See Section 8 for additional details about the use of the controls in the
Control Adjustments subsection.
Water Pressure Switch
A water pressure switch is provided in the heater to shut off the burners in
the event that water supply is interrupted. It is very important to verify
that the switch electrically opens and shuts off the gas valve when water flow
to the heater is interrupted. 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 person at the time of installation and periodically
checked thereafter. Refer to “Water Pressure Switch Adjustment” on page 32 of
this manual.
After Start-Up
Feel the inlet and outlet pipes. Outlet pipe should be only slightly warmer
than the inlet. It should not be hot.

10. MAINTENANCE AND CARE Cold Weather Operation
AWARNING: Check the heater for possible rodent
nests after long periods of non-use.
To be followed one month after start-up and then semiannually.
1. Inspect the top of the 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.
ACAUTION: Soot may be combustible. Wet sooted
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. See
Figure 71 and Figure 72.
5. On indoor heaters, clean room intake openings to ensure adequate flow of
combustion and ventilation air.
ACAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated
by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater. Such damage is not
covered under 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 fire check the following
or see “TROUBLESHOOTING” on page 40.
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 is 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.
Important Freeze Information
MODERATE CLIMATE: Heater operation can continue during short-term cold spells.
When temperatures are between 0°F (-18°C) and 32°F (0°C), flow (continuous
pump operation) must be maintained.
ACAUTION: Do not use the heater to maintain
water 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 below.
Winterizing the Pool and Spa Heater
Heaters installed outdoors in freezing climate areas may be shut down for the
winter. Observe the following procedure for winterizing the heater:
1. Turn off gas valve, manual gas valve, and electrical supply to the heater.
2. Remove the ProTek ShieldTM Assembly (if attached). Remove the heat
exchanger inspection panel on the side opposite water piping to gain access to
the drain plug on the return header. Open drain plug on return header. See
Figure 74 and Figure 75.

*FOR INSTALLATION AT OVER 2,000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL, DERATE 4% PER I,000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL. Refer to the heater’s rating plate.
**WARNING: The Hydraulic conditions or water chemistry that caused the tube
bundle to fail have very likely also damaged the bypass valve and Unitherm
Governor. We recommend you replace the Unitherm Governor and inspect the
bypass assembly. Failure to do so could cause premature failure of this
replacement part.
***WARNING: Copper and Cupronickel heat exchangers and tube bundles are not
interchangeable. Units with suffix “C” must use copper replacement parts and
units with suffix “X” must use Cupronickel replacement parts.

*WARNING: The Hydraulic conditions or water chemistry that caused the tube bundle to fail have very likely also damaged the bypass valve and Unitherm Governor. We recommend you replace the Unitherm Governor and inspect the bypass assembly. Failure to do so could cause premature failure of this replacement part.
