  Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers which are damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can cause severe injury and/or death due to the fol-lowing entrapment hazards:

• Hair Entrapment- Hair can become entangled in suction outlets.

• Limb Entrapment- A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet or suction outlet cover that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb.

• Body Suction Entrapment- A differential pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an entrapment.

• Evisceration/ Disembowelment – A vacuum applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can result in evisceration (disembowelment).

• Mechanical Entrapment- There is potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuck-le to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet or suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrap-ment.

• WARNING – To reduce the risk of entrapment hazards:

  • When suction outlets are less than a 18” x 23” equivalent, a minimum of two function-ing suction outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3’) [1 meter] apart, as mea-sured from near point to near point.
  • Dual suction outlets shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.
  • Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
  • The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the flow rating of any listed (per current revision of ASME/ANSI A112.19.8) suction outlet cover installed.
  • Never use the Pool or Spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
  • Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components im-mediately.
  • Install two or more suction outlets per pump in accordance with latest APSP (formally NSPI) Stan-dards and CPSC guidelines. Follow all applicable National, State, and Local codes.

• WARNING – Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the pool/spa from the suction outlets can result in an increase potential for suction entrapment as described above.

• WARNING – Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper and other material can result in an increase potential for suction entrapment as described above.

• WARNING – Suction outlet components have a finite life, the cover/grate should be inspected fre-quently and replaced at least every ten years or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.

• WARNING – All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when starting the circulation system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage. All drains and suction outlets MUST have properly installed covers, securely attached using the screws supplied with the cov-ers. If screws are lost, order replacement parts from your supplier.

• WARNING – Hazardous Pressure. Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start up, normal operation, and after pump shut off. Stand clear of circulation system equipment during start up. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of the pump housing and cover due to pressure in the system, which could cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Before servicing pool and spa water circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position and filter manual air relief valve must be in open position. Before starting system pump, all system valves must be set in a position to allow system water to return back to the pool. Do not change filter control valve position while system pump is running. Before starting system pump, fully open filter manual air relief valve. Do not close filter manual air relief valve until a steady stream of water (not air or air and water) is discharged.

• WARNING – Separation Hazard. Failure to follow safety and operation instruc-tions could result in violent separation of pump components. Strainer cover must be properly secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring. Before servicing pool and spa circulation system, manual air relief valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system if a system component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system unless filter air relief valve body is in locked position in filter upper body.

• WARNING – Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 40 PSI.

• WARNING – Fire and burn hazard. Motors operate at high temperatures and if they are not properly isolated from any flammable structures or foreign debris they can cause fires, which may cause severe personal injury or death. It is also necessary to allow the motor to cool for at least 20 minutes prior to maintenance to minimize the risk of burns.

• WARNING – Failure to install according to defined instructions may result in severe personal injury or death.

• WARNING – The following “Safety Rules for Hot Tubs” recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission should be observed when using the spa.

1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed 104°F [40°C]. A temperature of 100°F [38°C] is considered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested for young children. Pro-longed immersion in hot water can induce hyperthermia.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness, which could lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in drowning.
3. Pregnant women beware! Soaking in water above 100°F [38°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 adhere 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 ther-mometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F (2.2°C).
5. Persons taking medications, which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anti-coagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.
6. If the pool/spa is used for therapy, it should be done with the advice of a physician. Always stir pool/spa water before entering the pool/spa to mix in any hot surface layer of water that might exceed healthful temperature limits and cause injury. Do not tamper with controls, because scalding can result if safety controls are not in proper working order.
7. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or blood pressure problems should obtain a physicians advice before using spas or hot tubs.
8. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6°F [37°C]. The symptoms of Hyperthermia include: drowsi-ness, lethargy, dizziness, fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.

The effects of Hyperthermia include:

1. Unawareness of impending danger.
2. Failure to perceive heat.
3. Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa.
4. Physical inability to exit the spa.
5. Fetal damage in pregnant women.
6. Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.

DEFINITIONS:

• Suction Outlet – The term Suction Outlet is a fitting, fitting assembly, cover/grate and related components that provide a means for water to exit the pool and into the pump circulating system.
• Inches of Mercury (in Hg) – A unit for measuring pressure below atmospheric (“suction” or “vacuum”) (1.0 inch Hg = .491 PSI)
• Main Drain – See Suction Outlet PSI – An abbreviation for pounds per square inch.

ATTENTION: If the pool/spa/hot tub heater is damaged or destroyed by improper maintenance, exces-sive water hardness, incorrect water chemistry, or freezing it is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

CONSUMER OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

MAINTAINING PROPER WATER CHEMISTRY
WARNING: Failure to Maintain Proper Water Chemistry May Cause Premature Heat Exchanger Damage or Failure
The heat exchanger in your Hayward pool heater is made from the highest quality of copper and nickel (Cupronickel) materials. The premium materials and the exacting processes used in the manufacture of the heat exchanger is state of the art in pool heater design and manufacture. Yet, it remains vital that the heat ex-changer be protected from damaging or corrosive chemicals, insufficient water flow or improperly balanced water chemistry. Heat exchanger damage or failure resulting from improper flow, improperly balanced pool water or the improper addition of sanitizers into the water is NOT covered under the terms of your warranty.
The following factors are critical to heat exchanger protection. Follow these guidelines to help prevent pre-mature damage or failure to your heater and heat exchanger.

WATER FLOW THROUGH HEATER
Water must be flowing through the heater at the minimum rated flow rate during operation. Check that the pump is operating and the system is filled with water and purged of all air prior to starting the heater. The minimum rated flow rates are listed in the installation manual on page 26. Some installations may require an adjustment to the water pressure switch for proper low-flow protection. Test your system and if necessary, adjust the water pressure switch as described in the installation manual on page 36.

POOL/SPA WATER CHEMISTRY
The chemistry balance and mineral content of swimming pool water changes daily due to the addition of pool and sanitizing chemicals, bather loads, rain, runoff and the amount of sun – to name a few. Improper chemistry balance and mineral content can cause scaling and deposits to form on pool walls, in the filtration system, in the heat exchanger tubes and additionally can promote corrosive action to all metals in the water path. Changing spa water regularly and maintaining the correct chemical balance in your pool/spa will keep the pool/spa safe and sanitary, and will help protect the heat exchanger. Use a 4-way pool/spa water test kit to check your water frequently (at least weekly). Use the following guidelines to help protect your heater’s heat exchanger:

 | Recommended Level| Effect of Low Levels| Effect of High Levels
---|---|---|---
Chlorine| 1 – 3 ppm| hazy water, algea growth, bacteria causing infections| swimmer irritation, bleaching of clothes/hair, corrosive to heat exchanger
Bromine| 2 – 4 ppm
pH| 7.4 – 7.6| corrosive to heat exchanger, swimmer irritation| cloudy water, scaling of heat exchanger, reduced sanitizer effectiveness
Total Alkalinity| 80 – 120 ppm| corrosive to heat exchanger, large fluctuations in pH| scaling of heat exchanger
Calcium Hardness| 200 – 400 ppm| corrosive to heat exchanger| scaling of heat exchanger
Salt| 2700 – 5000 ppm| poor salt chlorinator performance| corrosive to heat exchanger

SKIMMER CHLORINATION
Placing chlorine or bromine tablets directly into the skimmer may result in high chemical concentrations flowing through the heater. DO NOT place chlorine or bromine tablets in the skimmer.

CHLORINATOR INSTALLATION
Chlorinators must be installed downstream of the heater, and a check valve must be installed between the heater and chlorinator to prevent high chemical concentrations from back flowing into the heater. Make sure your piping arrangement meets the chlorinator installation requirements shown in the installation manual on page 26.

BYPASS
Until water chemistry is properly balanced, and if your piping has a bypass valve installed for the heater, open the bypass so that corrosive and potentially damaging water will not flow through the heater and therefore the heat exchanger. Close the bypass valve once the water is properly balanced. Failure to close the bypass valve when attempting to operate the heater will result in extensive damage to the heat exchanger. Ensure water flow through the heater is restored before operating the heater. A bypass feature is also advantageous for service needs and for the ability to remove the heater from the water path when not heating. Refer to page 26 in the installation manual for further information.

HEATER OPERATION:
Full lighting and shutdown instructions are included on the lighting & operating instructions label affixed to the inside of the front access panel. See Figure 1 for the location of this label and the keypad. See Figure 2 for the label.

• WARNING: If you smell gas in the appliance area or near the floor (PROPANE IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND HENCE SETTLES ON THE FLOOR), stop and follow the instructions on the front cover of this manual. Since propane can accumulate in confined areas, extra care should be taken when lighting propane heaters.
• ATTENTION: Do not use the heater below 40°F (4°C) temperature without adequate temperature protection.
• WARNING: Do not ingest alcohol or drugs during use or prior to using pool, spa, or hot tub. Ingestion of such intoxicants can cause drowsiness, which can lead to unconsciousness, and subsequently result in drowning.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

• This pool heater is equipped with a digital thermostat which allows the user to select the desired water temperature. The heater will then function automatically to maintain the desired temperature. The heater has 3 modes of operation:
  1. STANDBY: in this mode, the heater will not function to heat the water.
  2. SPA: in this mode, the heater will automatically function to maintain the water temperature setting for SPA mode.
  3. POOL: in this mode, the heater will automatically function to maintain the water temperature setting for POOL mode.
• Use the MODE button to change modes. The indicator lights will illuminate to show which mode the heater is currently in. Each mode has its own temperature setting, allowing the user to have 2 individual pre-set temperature settings. To adjust the temperature while in SPA or POOL mode, use the UP and DOWN buttons. The numeric display will flash to indicate the temperature setting is being displayed / adjusted. When the numeric display is not flashing, the actual water temperature is being displayed. The temperature settings for both SPA and POOL modes are initially set at the factory to 65°F. The minimum allowed settings for SPA and POOL modes are both 65°F. The maximum allowed settings for SPA and POOL modes are adjustable up to 104°F using the temperature lockout feature (see next section).
• After selecting SPA or POOL mode or adjusting the temperature setting, it is normal for the heater to delay up to 10 seconds before the heater starts operating. This delay is an internal self-test of the heater. On occasion, the numeric display may show a diagnostic error code; refer to list of diagnostic error codes in Figure 4. Pressing the MODE button to cycle to STANDBY and back to SPA or POOL will clear a diagnostic error code. When clearing a diagnostic error code this way, it is normal for the heater to delay up to 5 seconds before resuming normal operation, assuming the diagnostic error code does not re-appear.

TEMPERATURE LOCK-OUT:
The digital thermostat in this pool heater allows the user to lock the maximum temperature setting allowed. This feature is useful for preventing unauthorized users from manually adjusting the temperature settings higher than desired. On a new heater, the maximum allowed temperature lock settings are initially set at the factory to 90°F for POOL mode, and 104°F for SPA mode. To adjust these settings, use the following procedure:

1. Use the MODE button to put the heater in STANDBY mode.
2. Press and hold both the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time.
3. After 3 seconds, the thermostat enters maximum temperature lock adjustment mode.
4. The SPA indicator light illuminates and the numeric display shows the current SPA mode maximum temperature lock setting. Both the SPA indicator light and the numeric display flashes rapidly when in adjustment mode.
5. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the desired maximum temperature lock setting. When finished, press the MODE button.
6. The POOL indicator light illuminates and the numeric display shows the current POOL mode maximum temperature lock setting. Both the POOL indicator light and the numeric display flashes rapidly when in adjustment mode.
7. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the desired maximum temperature lock. When finished, press the MODE button.
8. The heater will return to STANDBY mode.

FAHRENHEIT VERSUS CELSIUS:
The temperature can be displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius. TO change the display, use the “MODE” button to place the heater in “STANDBY”. Then press and hold the “UP” and “MODE” buttons until the display shows the °F/°C selection. Press the “DOWN” button to toggle between selections. To accept the selection, press the “MODE” button. If the user does not act, the selection will be automatically accepted after 60 seconds.

WINTERIZATION:
In moderate climates, the heater can continue to operate during short-term cold spells. Do not use the heater to maintain the water temperature just above freezing or for freeze protection. Care must be taken to avoid freeze-up in the heater. When it is used during freezing weather, the pump must run continuously. The heater is not warranted against freeze-ups. In regions where freezing temperatures are encountered, all water must be drained from the heater when it is out of service, to prevent damage to the heater and piping. Drain-ing the heat exchanger is recommended as part of the season’s shutdown procedures.

SPRING START-UP – CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL:

1. Inspect and clean the heater, being sure the heater is free of leaves and debris prior to startup.
2. Be sure inlet and outlet piping are properly attached to the heater and the drain valve is closed.
3. Turn the filtration system pump “ON” and allow the system to run long enough to purge all the air from the lines.
4. Turn the gas supply to the heater “ON”.
5. Set the temperature control using the keypad to “POOL” or “SPA” and adjust the set point to the desired temperature setting.
6. If operating difficulties are encountered, contact a qualified service company for assistance.
