Plumbing from the heater back to the pool must not have any valves or restriction that could prevent flow when the pump is operating.

CAUTION: An additional source of heated water, i.e. a solar system, must be connected to the main line ahead of the heater inlet pipe in order for it to act as the primary heat source. If the primary system provides adequate heat to maintain setpoint, the RP2100 heater will not fire. Be advised that the RP2100 control panel will then display sensed water temperatures downstream of the primary heating system, rather than the temperature of the water exiting the pool.

Heater must be located so that any water leaks will not damage the structure of adjacent area. PVC pipe may be glued directly into header unions.

CONNECTIONS(PLASTICHEADER)

Before attaching the 2-inch unions to the inlet/outlet header, make sure the o-rings are properly seated in the grooves. Use AquaLube or equivalent non-petroleum based lubricant on the o-ring. Tighten the unions hand tight. Glue PVC piping directly to the unions.

CAUTION: NEVER install PVC directly into header flanges. Use the 2" CPVC adapter supplied loose with the heater.

DO NOT use petroleum base assembly fluids (such as Petroleum Jelly or lubricating oil). If assembly lube is required, use a silicon base such as Amoral etc.

There are two sets of flange gaskets supplied with your heater. Use the appropriate gaskets for all your heater connections. Discard unused set.
