EXTERNAL AUXILIARY BYPASS VALVE (Where Required)
An auxiliary bypass valve should be used when flow rates exceed 120 GPM (usually a high performance pump size larger than two HP 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 55°F. It also serves to eliminate needlesspressuredropthroughtheheaterandaccompa- nying reduction in the flow rate to the spa jets, etc.

AUXILIARY BYPASS VALVE (DO NOT USE GATE VALVE)
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 comfort- able to the touch. If pipe is hot, close bypass; if cold, open bypass.
NOTE: Do not use a gate valve as an auxiliary bypass valve on any heaters.
Models
The heater is also equipped with a manual bypass built into the header. This is in addition to the automatic bypass valve. This may be used with flow rates up to 120 GPM and adjusted as below.
NOTE: Sooting or liming caused by improper bypass adjustment voids the warranty.

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

HIGHLIMITS
The pool heater is equipped with two high limits. Both high limits, the
POOL STAT
The pool heater is equipped with a pool thermostat that is attached to the inlet side of the in/out header to control the pool temperature.
LOW WATER CUT-OFF
Automatically shuts down burner whenever water level drops below probe. 30 second time delay prevents premature lockout due to temporary conditions such as power failure or air pockets. Standard on Cal Code heaters.
