4.Make visual check of the burner and pilot flame. Flame pattern on the main burner and pilot is indi- cated in the previous illustration. 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.

5.On indoor heaters, clean room intake openings to assure adequate flow of combustion and ventilation air.

CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater and void the warranty.

BASIC TIPS IF HEATER WILL NOT FIRE:

If you have no electrical power; it may be your "circuit breaker" has tripped. Try re-setting it.

If you have electrical power but the heater will not fire check the following:

1.The time clock must be moved to 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 will be higher than usual).

4.The pump may have lost it's prime. It may be run- ning 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 it's normal flow rate.

POOL & SPA WATER CHEMISTRY

Chemical imbalance can cause severe damage to your heater and associated equipment. Maintain your water pH between 7.4 and 7.8 and total alkalinity between 100 and 150 p.p.m. If the mineral content and dissolved solids in the water become too high, scale forms inside the heat exchanger tubes, reducing heater efficiency and also damaging the heater. If the pH drops below 7.2, the heater will be severely damaged. This will result in corrosion of the heat exchanger. Heat exchanger damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty.

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 chlorine tablets or bromine sticks 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 back- up into the heater when the pump is shut off.

NOTE: High chemical concentrates from feeders and chlorinators that are out of adjustment will cause very rapid corrosion to the heat exchanger. Such damage is not covered under the warranty.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

IMPORTANT FREEZE INFORMATION

MODERATE CLIMATE: Heater operation can con- tinue during short term cold spells. When tempera- tures are below freezing, flow (continuous pump opera- tion) must be maintained.

CAUTION: Do not use the heater to maintain water temperatures just above freezing or for freeze protec- tion. 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.

COLDCLIMATE:Prolonged operation with water tem- peratures below 50°F is not recommended. When starting the heater with pool temperatures below 50°F operate the heater continuously until higher tempera- tures are reached. Operating the heater for prolonged periods with pool water below 50°F can seriously damage the heater, and is not covered by the warranty.

For cold climate areas, please follow the winterizing procedures listed.
