DESIGN ADVANTAGES The electrical panel has an isolated compartment, located within the mechanical compartment to prevent corrosion. The heat from the compressor located just below the electrical compartment helps eliminate moisture as well. This exclusive design will substantially extend the life cycle of the heater.

DUAL THERMOSTAT CONTROL PANEL DUAL Thermostat THERMOSTAT The thermostat dial is just like any other, when you set it at a certain setting the heater will heat up to that temperature and then shut off. When the pool/spa wa- ter temperature drops below this setting the heater will come on and start heating the water back up to the setting on the thermostat. You will notice there are no number set- tings printed on the dial face. There is a certain procedure to follow to determine the exact temp

L.E.D. STATUS LIGHT PANEL Control Ready "Green": The green control ready indicator light lets you know that the heater has power and it is ready to heat. This light must be on before the heater can run. If this light is off, check you power supply and circuit breakers. If this light is off, none of the others will light either. ! CAUTION The unit may still have "live voltage" when the control light is off. NOTE: The bottom four indicator lights work in sequence from left to right. (To use ind

THERMOSTAT SETTING There are no temperature reading numbers printed on the thermostat dial due to calibration changes from unit to unit. The demand for exact temperatures should be regulated by using a high quality thermometer right in the pool water. Normal temperatures for pools are 78 to 82 degrees F. Spa temperatures are 98 to a maximum of 104 degrees F. You should place a high quality "tie on type" or a "floating type" thermom- eter directly in the pool or spa water, so you can determine

UNDERSTANDING HEAT LOSS It is important to understand how your pool loses heat. The greatest heat loss occurs at the water surface. You will need to adjust the operational time to compensate for added heat loss during the colder months. See the diagram on the next page. There are four types of heat loss to be concerned with: Evaporation accounts for the greatest amount of heat loss. As the water changes from a liquid to a vapor it requires heat taken from the pool. You are usually heating

CONTROLLING HEAT LOSS TYPICAL POOL BLANKET & ROLLER A good way to control heat loss is to slow the wind speed through your pool area by placing plants such as shrubs or bushes around the pool's perimeter. Plants will break up the air flow and diffuse the wind speed. If the pool area is to be fenced in, choose a wood shadow box type design. Using a pool cover can be somewhat cumbersome but they are worth the trouble in regards to the great cost savings. Covers are sometimes referred to as blan

OWNERS MAINTENANCE & CARE There are some considerations that should be taken concerning the environment where your heater is installed. The heater is usually placed near the pool filtering system. There are certain things in this area you will need to be aware of to insure long life and prevent unnecessary damage. SPRINKLERS Make sure there are absolutely no sprinkler heads near the heater that will in any way spray on or into the heater. Sprinkler damage is not covered under the warranty agree

AIR FLOW Do not install the unit in an area where the cooler discharge air may accumulate and be drawn back into the unit. Provide ventilation through containment walls or fencing for the air intake if needed. Do not install this unit indoors or in filtering system equipment rooms. Do not restrict the air flow in any way. ROOF RUN OFF To prevent large amounts of rain water from running through the unit you may need to install a gutter and down spout when the roof has a sharp pitch. IMPORTANT:

HIGH RATE WATER PUMPS EXCESSIVE FLOW BYPASS MANIFOLD FOR LARGE 2 H.P. PUMPS OR OVER 90 G.P.M. If the pool circulation pump is over 2 HP OR if the total flow exceeds 90 GPM you will have to add the "excessive flow valve" as shown here. Do not install a bypass valve that will completely shut off flow to the heater, see shut- down procedures. Some larger water pumps may be restricted if the pipe size is not adequate therefore reducing its overall flow rate. When determining if you need an excessi

WATER BALANCE MAINTENANCE The chemical balance of your pool/spa water and the methods used in adding pool chemicals will directly effect the life of your heater. Like no other precaution you could take, it is very important that these guidelines are followed in order to prevent damage to the heat exchanger/water coil and possibly the entire system. Improperly maintained water balance and incorrect introduction of pool chemicals will cause extreme corrosion to the heat exchanger. If this conditi
