DANGER — CARBON MONOXIDE GAS IS DEADLY
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN,
QUALIFIED IN POOL HEATER INSTALLATION. Some jurisdictions require that installers be licensed.
Check with your local building authority about contractor licensing requirements. Improper installation
and/or operation could create carbon monoxide gas and flue gases which could cause serious injury or
death. Improper installation and/or operation will void the warranty.
Exhaust from this pool heater contains carbon monoxide, a dangerous, poisonous gas you cannot see
or smell. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure or poisoning include dizziness, headache, nausea,
weakness, sleepiness, muscular twitching, vomiting and inability to think clearly. IF YOU EXPERIENCE
ANY OF THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE POOL HEATER, LEAVE THE
VICINITY OF THE POOL OR SPA AND GET INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. THE POOL HEATER
MUST BE THOROUGHLY TESTED BY A GAS PROFESSIONAL BEFORE RESUMING OPERATION.
EXCESSIVE CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE BRAIN DAMAGE OR DEATH.
Install this pool heater far from open windows, doors, vents and other openings, see page 21 for minimum
distances.
Pentair strongly recommends that all vents, pipes and exhaust systems be initially and periodically tested
for proper operation. This testing can be accomplished by using a hand-held carbon monoxide meter and/
or by consulting with a gas professional.
Pool heaters must be used in conjunction with carbon monoxide detectors installed near the pool heater. The
carbon monoxide detectors must be periodically inspected for proper operation so as to insure continued
safety. Broken or malfunctioning carbon monoxide detectors must be replaced immediately.
WARNING — This heater is equipped with an unconventional gas control valve that is factory set with a manifold
pressure of 11 ± 5 Pa. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause
property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Installation or service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency or the gas supplier. If this control is replaced, it must be replaced with an identical
control.
Do not attempt to adjust the gas flow by adjusting the regulator setting.
WARNING — Risk of fire or explosion from incorrect fuel use or faulty fuel conversion. Do not try to run a heater
set up for natural gas on propane gas or vice versa. Only qualified service technicians should attempt to
convert heater from one fuel to the other. Do not attempt to alter the rated input or type of gas by changing
the orifice. If it is necessary to convert to a different type of gas, consult your Pentair dealer. Serious
malfunction of the burner can occur which may result in loss of life. Any additions, changes, or conversions
required in order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by a Pentair
dealer or other qualified agency using factory specified and approved parts. The heater is available for
use with natural gas or LP (propane) gas only. It is not designed to operate with any other fuels. Refer to
the nameplate for the type of gas the heater is equipped to use.
• Use heater only with the fuel for which it is designed.
• If a fuel conversion is necessary, refer this work to a qualified service technician or gas supplier
before putting the heater into operation.
