Installation and Service Manual

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Listed below are items that must be checked to ensure safe reliable operations. Verify proper operation after servicing.

￿CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.

Normal Flame: A normal flame is blue with slight yellow tips, has a well-defined inner cone, and displays no lifting flames.

Yellow Tips: The usual causes for yellow tips on the burner flame are burner air flow blockage or partial obstruction.

Yellow Flames: The usual causes for yellow flames are primary air flow blockage to the burner(s) or excessive gas input. Correct this condition immediately.

Appliance Area

Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Water Circulating Pump

Inspect the pump every six months and oil as necessary. Use SAE

30non-detergent oil or lubricant specified by the pump manufacturer.

Burner Flames

Visually check the main burner flames at each start up after long shutdown periods or at least every six months. Burner view ports are located on the right and left sides of the pool heater.

￿WARNING: The areas around the burner view ports are hot. Direct contact with the pool heater could result in burns.

Lifting Flames: The usual causes for lifting flames are over firing the burner(s), excessive primary air, or high draft.

If you observe improper flame patterns, examine the venting system, ensure proper gas supply, and ensure adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air.

Flue Gas Passageways Cleaning Procedures

Any sign of soot around the refractory, at the burners or in the areas between the fins on the copper heat exchanger indicates a need for cleaning. The following cleaning procedures must only be performed by a qualified serviceman or installer. Proper service is required to maintain safe operation. Properly installed and adjusted pool heaters seldom need flue cleaning.

IMPORTANT: All gaskets on disassembled components must be replaced with new gaskets on reassembly. Gasket kits are available from your distributor.
