INSTALLATION GUIDELINES IMPORTANT NOTICE: The following are the installation requirements that must be followed in order to meet the general factory specifications. The installer may engineer other types of installation techniques that are suited for each particular installation, regarding placement and plumbing, but should still follow this basic format. The factory warranty will not warrant other field installed options unless factory parts are used according to this booklet.
! CAUTION SPRINKLER LOCATION Chemicals should NOT be stored near the heater. The fan may draw corrosive chemical vapor through the unit causing damage. Do NOT store anything on top, underneath or around the heater. You will need access to the disconnect breakers in the event of an emergency. Relocate or remove any sprinkler heads that have the chance of spraying on or into the unit. Make sure there are absolutely no sprinkler heads near the heater that will in any way spray on or into the heater.
PLUMBING & WATER FLOW PLUMBING CONNECTIONS Filtered Water “IN” on the LEFT front. Heated Water "OUT" on the RIGHT front. The plumbing inlets are "slip" p.v.c. pipe that will accept a 2 inch p.v.c. glue fitting. The pipe is left plain so you can adapt to your needs. Use p.v.c. cleaner to prime the fitting and pipe. Use a quality medium body p.v.c. glue. FOR PUMPS UP TO 2 H.P. OR 90 G.P.M. MAX. SEE NEXT PAGE FOR LARGER WATER PUMPS. WATER OUT WATER IN Heater Filter 3 1. PUMP 2. FILTER 3. HEATER 4.
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 "Shutdown Procedures". Some larger water pumps may be restricted if the pipe size is not adequate therefore reducing its overall flow rate.
CHEMICAL PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS ! CAUTION NO CHEMICALS IN SKIMMER !!! All Chlorinators Go Down Line of Heater ! In Line Off Line IN LINE TYPE CHLORINATOR OFF LINE TYPE CHLORINATOR MANDATORY CHECK VALVE & LOOP LOOP ABOVE 8" MIN. TO POOL 2 LB CHEMICAL RESISTANT CHECK VALVE (PN# 888-018) Insulated Heat Exchanger FROM HEATER CHLORINATOR The chemical resistant check valve and loop MUST be installed with all types of chlorinators to prevent chlorine migration to the heater.
CHLORINATOR PLACEMENT & CHEMICAL USE Chlorinator placement, water balance and where chemicals are added are very important aspects of installation. The failure to protect the unit from chemical damage which is not covered under the warranty. PROTECT HEAT EXCHANGER You want to prevent any chemicals from running through the piping and heat exchanger of the heater.
STANDARD PLUMBING 1 OR 2 UNITS The following diagram is for standard plumbing of either one or two units. Plumb the unit in "after" the filter and "before" the chlorinator. SPECIAL NOTE: See chlorinator placement instructions in this manual (Pg. 10). Be advised that if your 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 below.
POOL & SPA COMBO PLUMBING Heating a connected pool and spa spill over with one heater. For a single pump system. The following is a schematic of the suggested plumbing set up when using the standard dual thermostat kit. This design is used for pool/ spa combinations where the pool and spa are connected via a spill over, when one filtering pump is used to circulate the water to either the pool or spa. The motorized valves turn to isolate the pool or spa when the dual thermostat is activated by the user.
SEPARATE POOL & SPA PLUMBING Heating a separate pool & spa, "without" a spill over, with one heater. Two pump system. The following schematic is the suggested plumbing set up when using the dual thermostat kit. This design is for "separate" pool and spa combinations, where the two are totally isolated from one another. The motorized valve turns so that the heater is isolated to either the pool or the spa when the dual thermostat is activated by the user.
PLUMBING WITH SOLAR PANELS Always plumb through the heat pump first before plumbing to solar. If the water flow is not adequate to provide proper flow for both, you will have to operate one or the other by adjusting the 3-way valve accordingly or increase your pumps size. Low water flow to the heat pump will cause the unit to cycle on & off. In some cases an external flow switch may have been installed in place of the existing pressure switch, if the draining of the solar panels effect the heater.
COMMERCIAL PLUMBING When plumbing a heating system into a high rate commercial filtering system, you should be prepared to evaluate the entire system in order to accommodate the heaters. The control of the water flow is most critical. The more planning done prior to this type of installation will prevent service problems later. PLACEMENT AREA WATER FLOW SEQUENCE Inspect the placement area and be sure that the piping does not obstruct any serviceable items such as electric or other utilities.

WARNING Do not place or inject chemicals into the surge tank ! No tablet type chlorine in the surge tank ! Flow Meter Recommended Check Valve Shut Off Valves ! CAUTION Main Diverting Valve Do not place chemicals or storage tanks near heater.
OPTIONAL WATER "FLOW" SWITCH Some installations require an external water “FLOW” switch in place of the water “PRESSURE” switch. This switch will keep the unit from running without water flow. BELOW WATER LEVEL SOLAR PANELS If the unit is installed three feet or more below water level, the pressure switch will be effected by static pressure. This static pressure may cause the “pressure" switch to stay activated thus allowing the unit to run when the water flow stops.
WATER FLOW SWITCH INSTALLATION In most cases the existing water pressure switch located inside the access compartment can be changed to this special use water pressure switch. This water pressure switch can be set at a higher rating to offset the static pressure in some cases. The factory part number is #408. Install this switch in place of the existing water pressure switch when needed. If it does not solve the static pressure problem then use the optional Grid™ flow switch.

OK OK OK THERMO STAT Heat Exchanger Plumbing Manifold IN Auto Bypass Valve OUT NOTE: COMPRESSOR TIME DELAY COMMON 24Hr. MECHANICAL TIMER BE AWARE THERE IS A 5 TO 7 MINUTE TIME DELAY BEFORE THE COMPRESSOR WILL START ONCE THE UNIT IS TURNED ON OR WHENEVER IT RESTARTS. OFF Tripper Peg SET THE WATER PUMP TIMER ON Set the circulation pump timer for 24 hours until the pool reaches temperature.
OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE WATER FLOW & EXISTING WATER PUMP FAN-AIR CIRCULATION To filter the pool water each day, the water pump will come on & off according to the existing timer device. The heater will only heat if there is water running through it and it operates long enough. Once the t-stat is activated the fan will begin to turn. To collect the heat from the air, the fan circulates warmer air through the evaporator air coil at about 4200 cubic feet per minute.
WATER PRESSURE SWITCH CHECK The water pressure switch is preset at the factory and should only be adjusted "if needed". The water pressure switch is designed to shut the heater off when the water circulation pump shuts off. The water pressure switch will keep the unit from running when there is no water flow. The water pressure switch has a 1 to 5 psi pressure range on water pressure rise or fall.
SHUT DOWN & FREEZE PROTECTION PROCEDURES When shutting the unit down for the end of the swimming season, you must consider some items to protect the unit from inclement weather. It is best in most situations to shut the unit off by turning the thermostat all the way down, to the "left". Leave power (circuit breaker), to the unit “on” unless the pool or spa water temperature drops below 50 degrees F.
ELECTRICAL WIRING GROUND & EQUIPMENT COMMON BONDING A certified electrician should prepare to wire the heater according to national, local codes and specifications from the factory in regards to supply voltage and amperes. Most codes require that a power disconnect be placed near the heater for emergency shut off. WIRE SIZE & GROUNDING SEE SPECIFICATION SHEET TO DETERMINE REQUIRED BREAKER AND WIRE SIZE.
