Raypak 514-824 Basic Tips if Heater will not Fire, Pool & SPA Water Chemistry, Important Notice

5.On indoor heater, 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.

6.Keep air around heater clear and free from com- bustible materials, gasoline and other flammable and corrosive vapors and liquids.

BASIC TIPS IF HEATER WILL NOT FIRE:

1.If you have no electrical power, it may be your circuit breakers" have tripped. Try re-setting them.

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

3.The time clock must be moved to the "ON" position.

4.Your pump strainer basket may be full. If so remove debris.

5.Your filter may be dirty. If so, backwash or clean filter. (To tell if your filter is dirty, the gauge pressure will be higher than usual).

6.The pump may have lost it's prime. It may be running dry, check the pressure gauge 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 chemistry according to the chart on page 2. 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.

When heaters installed outdoors in freezing climate areas are to be shut down for the winter, observe the following step-by-step procedure:

1.Turn off gas valve, manual gas valve, and electrical supply to the heater.

2.Open drain cock located on the inlet/outlet header, (under water pipes).

3.Disconnect compression fittings from the pressure switch and return header that connect to the 1/4" copper tube and allow the tube to drain.

PART TWO - INSTALLATION/SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

SECTION 1/RECEIVING EQUIPMENT

On receipt of your equipment it is suggested that you visually check for external damage to the carton. If the carton is damaged, a note should be made on the Bill of Lading when signing for equipment. Remove the heater from the carton and if it is damaged, report the damage to the carrier immediately.

On occasion, we ship some items loose. Be sure that you receive the number of packages indicated on the Bill of Lading.

When ordering parts, you must specify model and serial number of heater. When ordering under warranty conditions, you must also specify date of installation.

Raypak recommends that this manual be reviewed thoroughly before installing your Raypak pool/spa heater. If there are any questions that this manual does not answer, please contact the factory or your local Raypak representative.

SECTION 2/GENERAL SPECIFICATION

These heaters are design certified and tested under the requirements of ANSI Z21.56/CSA 4.7 American National Standard/CSA Standard for Gas-Fired Pool Heaters.

All heaters are inter-changeable and can be used either indoor or outdoors. The appropriate top desig- nated for that type of use is required. If desired, the top can be changed at a late date to change from outdoor to indoor or vice versa.

Rated inputs suitable for up to 2000 feet elevation. For elevations above 2000 feet, reduce input 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level, as height elevation reduces combustion performance.

WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alter- ation, service or maintenance may damage the equip- ment, create a hazard resulting in asphyxiation, explo- sion or fire, and will void the warranty.

CODE REQUIREMENT

NOTE: The heater should not be located in an area where possible water leakage will result in damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recom- mended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow.
