Raypak recommends the installation of an air bleed vent at a suitable location (usually the highest point in Pump the plumbing) to remove air from the piping system. These units should be available at your local whole-

sale supplier. Raypak does not provide this item.

*Loop is secondary piping to heater from main system.

CAUTION: Power to the heater should be interlocked with the main system pump to make sure the heater does not fire without the main system pump in operation. Improper flow control can damage the heater. Uncontrolled flow (too high) or restricted flow (too low) can seriously affect heater operation. Follow these instructions to make sure your heater is properly installed.

Models 1287 through 4001 are equipped with an external pump and bypass arrangement that blends outlet water with the inlet to increase the inlet water temperature, thereby reducing the likelihood of con- densation forming on the heat exchanger. The pump also serves to circulate water through the heater from the main system piping.

To complete the installation of the pool heater, the pool thermostat needs to be installed in the main return water line. This will ensure that the heater will be ener- gized at the right time. If the main water line is too far away from the heater and the capillary bulb will not reach it, locate the pool thermostat adjacent to the main line and run wires back to the heater. Follow the instructions listed below to install the poolstat.

Mounting the Poolstat Control with Front-Mounted Loop Using Mounting Slots

For heater models:

1287, 1336, 1414, 1468, 1571, 1631, 1758, 1826, 2100, 2500, 3001, 3500, 4001.

NOTE: For more detail on piping, refer to the diagrams on pages 15, 16 & 17.

1.Remove the poolstat control cover by removing the two cover screws at the top. See Fig. 13 & 14.
