WATER CHEMISTRY MAINTENANCE
Not only is the water chemistry of your pool or spa important to the
health of you and your family, it also directly affects the life of your
heater. This is the most important item in the maintenance of the
heater. If the water chemistry is improperly maintained or if the
chemicals are improperly introduced into the water, this will damage
the heater’s internal components and could eventually cause a leak,
rendering the heater inoperable.
WARNING:
Damage to the heater due to improper water chemistry
Is not covered under the warranty.
Following is the table for essential water quality readings, which must be
constantly maintained:
PH Level
7.4 to 7.8
1 time per week
Chlorine Concentration
1.0 to 3 PPM
1 time every 2 to 3
days
Total Alkalinity
80 to 120 PPM
1 time every 2 to 3
weeks
Total Dissolved Solids
Below 2400 PPM
1 time per month
Calcium Hardness
200 to 300 PPM
1 time per month
The location of the chemicals’ introduction to your system is also
critical to the heater’s life. If an automatic in-line Chlorinator or
Brominator is used, it must be located downstream of the heater. A
Trap/ Check Valve must also be installed between the chlorinator and
the heater to prevent chlorine return into the heater.
WARNING:
Never leave any type of solid chlorine in the pool skimmer. This will cause a
high concentration of Chlorine to enter the heater, causing premature
corrosion. Never add chemicals into skimmer, this will cause warranty to be
voided
