GAS HEATER PRO24 – FOR HEATING OF WATER IN HOT TUBS

Thank you for choosing a gas heater from SpaDealers. The heater is easy to use. When connecting to a hot tub, there’s a connection kit (A) with pump incl. hoses accessories (included in complete hot tub packages). It is connected as shown below. For the heater to start it needs a water flow created by a pump. Connect the upper connection to the heater and wait until water starts seeping out in the lower black nut (1). That means the air has been displaced and the pump can be started. Note * The pump must not be run dry as this can cause damage to the rotor shaft. When the water starts flowing the ignition mechanism is activated automatically. If gas is connected and turned on the torch will ignite and start heating the water. The three white knobs should all be adjusted to Max.
TIP! When the gas is running out you can turn the knobs for Gas and Power set to Min. to take most advantage of the remaining gas.

Use pressure reducer 30 mbar, 2 kg/h (not included)

PROTECTIVE CASE FOR GAS HEATER (item DTHHG)
As an accessory there is this handy protective case for the gas heater that protects it from wind and rain. The front part is detachable and is removed during use. There is fireproof material behind the heater and on the sides. Above the heater an inclined fireproof part leads exhaust fumes away. We also have blueprints for DIY’ers.

Use your gas heater properly and you will avoid unnecessary problems not covered by the warranty. Here follows the most common problems that can be effectively avoided with proper maintenance.

he most common problem that can occur is when contaminated water is used and the filter before the pump clogs up. This stops the water flow. The stove will then switch itself off. No  temperature is displayed and there is no ignition spark. The problem is corrected by cleaning the filter. If there is also a strainer filter in the pipe “Water Inlet”, it can be removed as the outer filter by itself is enough. ATTENTION! If the pump sucks in air, the same thing happens and in both cases there is a big risk that the pump will be destroyed as it does not get sufficient “lubrication” from the water. If that happens the pump often starts to make a “howling” noise and the warranty does not apply in such a scenario.

One problem that may occur and one that is serious in terms of safety, is a gas leakage. Use the supplied brass connector and seal. There are clear instructions on page 5 of the manual. Before the gas heater is taken into service, also test it for leaks. When gas leakage occurs, a fire results, but it can be prevented by following the simple advice given on page 7 of the manual.

In standard configuration the gas heater is not protected against rain and such if not placed under a roof. Water entering the heater leads to electrical failure and the material may start to rust. It’s easy to make a protective shelf that covers the stove. You must then take into account the installation regulations with dimensions on page 4 of the main manual. To reduce the minimum safe distance, a refractory material can used. On our website; www.spadealersuk.com, drawings can also be downloaded. The protective shelf is also available to order as an accessory.

If the stove is left outside in freezing temperatures, then the heat exchanger could freeze and be destroyed.
If the stove is not protected so that water cannot freeze in the heater, it shall be disconnected and taken indoors where the risk of freezing exists.

THE GAS PIPE MAY BECOME CRACKED AND LEAK GAS DUE TO LONG TIME USE.

INSPECT IT REGULARLY.

(Fig. 6)
Check the connections of the gas pipe regularly with soapy water (Fig. 6) to make sure there is no gas leakage. In case of gas leakage, never make fire or touch any electric-switches for the ventilation fan, etc. Do not connect or disconnect any power plugs; otherwise, a flame or spark could ignite the gas, causing a fire or explosion. Close the master gas valve, open all the doors and windows to exhaust the gas outside the house. Stop using the water heater and contact a service department or the gas supplier.

IN CASE OF GAS LEAKAGE, NEVER MAKE A FIRE OR TOUCH ANY ELECTRIC SWITCHES, NOT MAKE TELEPHONE CALL IN THE ROOM, OPEN ALL DOORS AND WINDOWS
Regularly check the pipe to make sure of good air tightness. If cracked, replace the pipe at once. Under normal conditions, the gas pipe needs to be checked once a year.

USE THE RIGHT LOW-PRESSURE REDUCER
The types of gas cylinders and connection methods of low-pressure reducers (30mbar, 2kg / h) can vary. It is important that the correct low-pressure regulator is used. Here are examples of the correct type and also incorrect types. NEVER USE an adjustable controller.

Examples of correct gas reducers and incorrect ones

Note that the amount of gas that the stove needs to give full power is 1.6 kg / h. With a flow of 1 kg / h, the power is 60% less. So the most optimal is 2 kg / h.

FEATURES

1. Water controlled, fully automatic and easy to operate. Open the water valve, start pump to start ignition. The hot water will come out immediately.
2. Close the water valve, stop pump. The hot water stops and the flame goes out immediately. Ability to start at very low water pressure, applicable for many places.
3. If the flame goes out unexpectedly during use, the gas supply will shut off automatically to protect against gas leakage.
4. If the water pressure is too high, the water will come out from the security valve to release pressure, ensuring safety for the appliance and the user.
5. Equipped with a protection unit to prevent over-heating in the water tank and “dry-burn”. In the event of pressure fluctuations in the water supply, the water heater will maintain a relatively constant outlet water flow.

INSTALLATION REGULATIONS

1. It is forbidden to install this water heater in a closed room. It must be installed in a well-ventilated area larger than 7.5㎡. Because the water heater requires a larger quantity of oxygen when working, the area should have a minimum air-induction opening of 0.06㎡ (20×30 cm).
   

2. Do not install the water heater in a location with strong wind (unless it is protected from the wind); otherwise, the flame may go out or cause incomplete burning.

3. It is forbidden to install the heater outside if it’s not
   protected from wind and rain, because wind and rain may put out the flame; Moreover, the appliance might get frozen and damaged in a cold winter season.

4. A water supply with a minimum 0.02Mpa water pressure is required on the installation site to ensure the normal operation of the water heater.

5. We recommend a cold water valve be installed close to the water heater for maintenance convenience. See Fig 4.

6. Keep a minimum space from the wall or ceiling on the installation site. Keep clear of stove, combustible and dangerous objects. See Fig 3.

   • 15. Water outlet (warm)
   • 16. Water valve
   • 17. Air holeZ

7. If it’s possible, install the water heater at the proper height for easy inspection of burning, about 1.5m.

8. Make sure a proper gas pipe are installed and make sure that the pipe remains airtight and the inlet gas pressure is 30mbar, 2h/kg for normal operation of the appliance. If using a piped gas supply, ask the gas supplier or the gas administration authority for pipe connecting.

9. See “OTHER IMPORTANT CAUTIONS” for other regulations.

INSTALLATION (PERMANENT WALL MOUNT)
Hanging and installing the water heater (for reference only)
Mark the holes on the wall, the position is subject to the actual model of your water heater, drill 4 holes of 8mm, put in the plastic dowels if needed.

1. Hang the water heater, tighten the screws.

LOADING THE BATTERY
The battery box is located under the water heater. Load the batteries in the following order: See Fig.1

1. Open the cover of the battery box.
2. Load two 1.5V batteries (D size) into the battery box, make sure of the proper polarity. Improper polarity will affect the performance of the water heater.
3. Close the cover on the battery box.

INSTALLATION OF GAS PIPE
Hose must be designed for LPG gas and a maximum of 1.2 m long and 10 mm internal diameter. Or according to other national standard. Attachment of the hose must be secured with a hose clamp at both ends. Use the included coupling with gasket so that the gasket sits against the gas inlet on the heater. If using a piped gas supply, ask the gas supplier to connect the pipe.

Use pressure reducer 30mbar, 2kg/h (not included). Examples of correct gas reducers and incorrect ones

The types of gas cylinders and connection methods of low pressure regulators (30mbar, 2kg / h) can vary. It is important that the correct low pressure regulator is used. Here are examples of the right type and also incorrect types. NEVER USE an adjustable controller.

Note that the amount of gas that the stove needs to give full effect is 1.6 kg / h. With a flow of 1 kg / h, the effect is 60% less. So the most optimal is 2 kg / h.

INSTALLATION OF HOT AND COLD WATER PIPE
Use hoses that can withstand pressure to connect incoming and outgoing water connection. Note that the outgoing pipe also must withstand temperatures up to 70 °C

USER INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE START IGNITION
Please check to make sure that the gas type is in accordance with the one stipulated on the name plate (see page 2). Before igniting, open the cold- water valve. Open the master gas switch and check that there is no leakage (see further instructions on page 7).

START IGNITION, WATER COMES OUT
Start the ignition: Open the cold water valve, (or start the pump) the burner attempts to ignite a flame with a repeating “pa”sound, which stops after ignition is achieved; hot water comes out immediately.
Note: When using this appliance for the first time, or after a long idle period between uses, repeated ignition attempts are needed to discharge any air in the gas pipe. Use the knobs “Gas”, “Water” and
“Power” to adjust the water temperature. We recommend adjusting “Gas”, “Power” and “Water” to the Max position.
The knob “Gas” controls the flow of gas to the burner, which means it controls the power.
There are 3 burners in the heater, one in the middle, one at the left side and one at the right side. At Max position for the knob “Power” all 3 will be in function and at Min only the one in the middle is in function and the power is about 8kW.
“Water” should always be at Max. If it’s turned to Min the water flow that pass through the heat exchanger will be much less and result in much higher temperatures out from the heat exchanger. This will result in triggering of the overheat thermostat that is placed on the pipe coming out from the heat exchanger. Note, this will also happen in all situations when the water flow gets below 7 l/min and a possible cause is then that the filter placed in front of the pump is not clean.
For a temporary stop during use, close the hot water valve or stop the pump. The burner will stop burning automatically. Open the valve or start the pump for hot water again.

Note: Because the water will get very hot during a temporary stop, wait for a few seconds before coming into contact with the water

STOPPING THE HEATER (WATER STOPS COMING OUT)
To stop the water heater after use, close the hot water valve or stop the pump, the flame of the burner will go out automatically, and the water heater stops working.
Close the cold water valve or pump. Close the master gas valve.

THE GAS PIPE MAY BECOME CRACKED AND LEAK GAS DUE TO LONG TIME USE. INSPECT IT REGULARLY.

(Fig. 6)
Check the connections of the gas pipe regularly with soapy water (Fig. 6) to make sure there is no gas leakage. In case of gas leakage, never make fire or touch any electric-switches for the ventilation fan, etc. Do not connect or disconnect any power plugs; otherwise, a flame or spark could ignite the gas, causing a fire or explosion. Close the master gas valve, open all the doors and windows to exhaust the gas outside the house. Stop using the water heater and contact a service department or the gas supplier.

IN CASE OF GAS LEAKAGE, NEVER MAKE A FIRE OR TOUCH ANY ELECTRIC SWITCHES, NOT MAKE TELEPHONE CALL IN THE ROOM, OPEN ALL DOORS AND WINDOWS
Regularly check the pipe to make sure of good air tightness. If cracked, replace the pipe at once. Under normal conditions, the gas pipe needs to be checked once a year.

• If the gas pipe is cracked, stop using it and replace it. For users of Propane: if the flame of the water heater is inconsistent, it may be due to a malfunction of the gas pressure reducer, Stop using the pressure reducer and replace it, or get it repaired and installed by a professional technician.
• For users of piped gas or natural gas: if the flame is abnormal, it is due to an unstable gas pressure. Stop using the water heater temporarily.
• Continued use will damage the water heater and possibly cause an accident.

PREVENT FIRE
It is absolutely forbidden to leave the burning water heater unattended. The water heater must be stopped before going to bed or going out.

It is forbidden to put combustible or explosive objects close to the water heater. Never put a towel or clothes on the exhaust vent. A gas leakage from the gas pipe can easily causes a fire.

• 1. Air intake
• 4. Smoke discharge joint 13. Gas inlet
• 18. Ventilation hatch
• 19. Hot water
• 20. Air extraction

PREVENT OXYGEN DEPLETION AND INCOMPLETE BURNING

• Because a large quantity of oxygen is used during burning, the installation site for the water heater must be well. During operation, the water heater will give off fumes; therefore, a chimney must be installed to the water heater to extract the fumes outside the house and keep fresh air in the house, to ensure complete burning.

PREVENT BURNS ON EYES

• Upon ignition, never look at the flame with eyes close to the inspection hole. Keep your eyes a minimum of 300mm from the inspection hole. Wait 10-20 seconds before repeating ignition.

OTHER IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

• PREVENT BURNS FROM HOT TEMPERATURES: if there is a need to use hot water shortly after the hot water valve is closed, do not come into contact with the first- hot water coming, as it could cause burns due to a temporary high temperature.
• PREVENT THE HEATER FROM FREEZING: In very cold areas (with temperatures below 0℃ ), move it to a storage place without risk for freezing.
• Some parts of the water heater may become loose due during transportation. In case of damages to the external housing after opening the package, get a repairman to check before use.

REPLACE THE BATTERIES.

• Replace the batteries if you see the following situations upon ignition or as the water comes out.
• Longer interval of sounds of “Pa,Pa” during ignition (approx. 2 sounds a second)
• The flame goes out shortly after ignition.
• The voltage between the poles of the battery is lower than 2.9 V.

HOW TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES: SEE PARAGRAPH “LOADING THE BATTERY” FOR DETAIL

• Please use moisture proof batteries with a sealed metal shell. Under normal conditions, the batteries need replacing once a year.

ABNORMAL HANDLE

• In case of abnormal burning (flame-retrace separated flame, yellow flame or dark smoke etc.) unexpected smell, noise or emergency (earthquake or fire),remain calm to close the water heater to stop burning, close the gas valve afterwards and contact the service department or the gas supplier.

MAINTENANCE &SERVICES

• The water heater needs cleaning periodically (generally once every half year) to ensure its normal performance. Check the flame frequently, in case of a yellow flame with dark smoke, inform the service department for cleaning. To clean the external housing, please gently mop it with a wet cloth followed with a dry cloth. If the water heater remains unused for a long time, cover the top to prevent dust. Never use chemical detergents for cleaning; otherwise, the external housing would become faded and lose its gloss. All abnormalities must only be handled by qualified personnel.
• Note: The room installed with the water heater must have a fixed open air-induction opening. Closed windows are ineffective.
