SuperStor Pool Heater INSTALLATION START-UP MAINTENANCE PARTS Model SSU-20PH The use of a salt chlorine generator is prohibited in a system serviced by this pool heater. Salinated water will cause corrosive damage to the pool heater tank and component parts, and possibly lead to premature failure. Such failure is NOT covered by warranty. Please seek an alternative sanitation method.

C. HEATER WATER Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in a water heating system. Gaskets and seals in the system may be damaged. This can result in substantial property damage. Do not use “homemade cures” or “heater patent medicines”. Damage to heater, substantial property damage, and/or serious personal injury may result.
For winterizing, the pool heater must be completely drained and have one gallon of non-toxic, food-grade propylene glycol, FDA rated as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) pumped into the heat exchanger to prevent freezing. Choose a location for the water heater as centralized to the piping and electrical system as possible. Carefully consider how boiler and pool piping will be routed before choosing final pool heater location.
Use two wrenches when tightening water piping at heater. Use one wrench to prevent the heater return or supply line from turning. Failure to prevent piping connections from turning could cause damage to heater components. C. PIPING DETAIL Figure 2 – Water Heater Piping PART 4 – HEATER CONTROL A. WIRING THE CONTROL If the pool heater control is to be located outdoors, it must be located in a covered area, protected from the rain and sun. However, the control transformer must be kept indoors.
Figure 4 – Pool Heater Control to Boiler Control Wiring B. SENSOR INSTALLATION Proper sensor installation is critical for reliable and efficient operation. The sensor should be located as close to the inlet of the pool heater (pipe running from the pool filter) as possible. Mount sensor by following instruction in Figure 4. If the wiring needs to be longer, use commonly available thermostat “TT” wire on the transformer line to the boiler.
