What to do if you smell gas –
• Do not try to light any appliance.

phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbors
phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

Warranty –
Factory warranty (shipped with unit) does not apply to
units improperly installed or improperly operated.
Experience has shown that improper installation or system
design, rather than faulty equipment, is the cause of most
operating problems.
1. Improper maintenance of pool water chemistry
resulting in high water hardness and high alkalinity that
results in a lime scale build up in the copper tube is not
the fault of the equipment and is not covered under the
manufacturer's warranty (see the Facts About Water
Chemistry section of the EnergyRite Service Manual).
2. Excessive pitting and erosion on the inside of the
copper tube may be caused by too much water velocity
through the tubes and is not covered by the
manufacturer's warranty (see Water Connections,
Table 7A - Minimum Water Flow Requirements).
