The Hurlcon MX Series Heater is an efficient gas fired pool and spa heater. It is equipped with features that take advantage of new technology developed exclusively by AstralPool.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS For your safety – read before lighting This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the pilot. Do not try to light the pilot by hand. BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
These comments are intended as a guide only and are not definitive answers or recommendations on pool water chemistry. Hurlcon’s intention is to provide a little understanding of the potential problems of water chemistry and the dangers of corrosion to heaters (and other pool equipment and fittings).
