CARE AND MAINTENANCE

!
WARNING
Risk of fire or explosion from flammable vapors. Do not store gasoline, cleaning fluids,
varnishes, paints, or other volatile flammable liquids near heater or in the same room with
heater.
The following maintenance is recommended every six months and at the start of every
swimming season:
1. Inspect the heater panels and venting system to make sure that there are no obstructions to
the flow of ventilating air or burner exhaust.
2. Keep the area in and around the heater clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and corrosive liquids.
3. If applicable, test the operation of the pressure relief valve by lifting the valve lever. (See
below for "PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE" instructions.)
4. Test for proper operation of the pressure switch. (See "WATER PRESSURE SWITCH" for
testing instructions.)
5. Check pipe and fittings for cracks or breaks. The combustion air blower is permanently
lubricated, and does not require periodic lubrication. The burner does not require maintenance
or adjustment by the user. Call a qualified service technician if you suspect that the burner
may require maintenance.
DE-LIMING THE HEATER
!
WARNING
Working with muriatic acid can be dangerous. When cleaning elements
always wear rubber gloves and eye protection. Add acid to water, do not
add water to acid. Splashing or spilling acid can cause severe personal
injury and/or property damage.
Should a heater require de-liming, this may be accomplished by circulating a solution of 30%
Muriatic Acid. This process should only be performed by a person of sufficient skill. The heater
MUST be disconnected from the pool plumbing, gas plumbing, and electric. The heater may be
placed on its side with the water manifold "up". The diluted muriatic acid may be recirculated
until visible bubbles are no longer produced. Before being restored to service, the heater water
ways should be completely rinsed with regular tap water.
