INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a HiNRG Pool and Spa Heater by Astral Pool. Proper installation and service of your new heating system and correct chemical maintenance of the water will ensure years of enjoyment. The HiNRG Series Heater is a compact lightweight and highly efficient gas fired pool and spa heater.
- 3 - FOR YOUR SAFETY – READ BEFORE LIGHTING This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner 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.
- 4 - CHEMICAL BALANCE It is imperative that correct chemical balance be maintained in your pool and spa water, otherwise corrosion of your heater may occur. Corrosion of the heat exchanger voids warranty. Your local pool shop specialist or spa retailer can advise correct chemical balance.
- 5 - DIGITAL THERMOSTAT OPERATION DESCRIPTION The sophisticated digital thermostat provides temperature read out, set point temperature, operating status of the heater and any fault conditions. TEMPERATURE DISPLAY The temperature display indicates water temperature in the inlet of the heater. Therefore the pump must be operating for an accurate pool or spa water temperature to be displayed.
- 6 - DISPLAY SYMBOL INDICATION Under fault conditions the thermostat will display a set of alpha numeric symbols to indicate the status of the heater. The meaning of each symbol and action to be taken are listed as follows: SYMBOL MEANING ACTION...
- 7 - MAINTENANCE It is recommended that you check the following at least every six months and at the beginning of every swimming season. 1. Examine the flue outlet and panel louvers for blockages. Make sure there are no obstructions to the flow of air to or from the appliance.
- 8 - All automatic sanitising devices must be installed after the heater and in such a way that the sanitiser cannot enter the heater without first mixing with the water in the pool or spa. Sanitisers that are connected prior to the heater will void heater warranty. A non-return valve is not required to be fitted between the filter and the heater.
- 9 - INDOOR FLUE INSTALLATION For indoor installations a 125 mm flue and termination cowl must be fitted to the heater. The heater may be installed with a maximum of 16 metres of flue including 3 bends or of 8 metres of flue with a total of 5 bends. The flue and termination cowl must be ordered from AstralPool.

- 12 - ROOFTOP TERMINATIONS All flue exiting the roof must be shielded with the gal cover. Extra lengths of gal can be supplied. Decktite fittings / flashings must be attached to the galvanised flue cover. Brace flue in high wind applications. Locate flue cowl onto reduced end of the gal outer covering / flue pipe.
5% of the height of the room or enclosure. The minimum vertical dimension of any free ventilation opening shall be 6 mm. The minimum free ventilation area provided directly outside by each opening shall be: MODEL AREA HiNRG 175 60,000 mm HiNRG 250 75,000 mm HiNRG 400 120,000 mm If ventilation provided is obtained from an adjacent room then these areas will increase.
Incorrect inlet pressures may void warranty and may result in service charges, should service be required. Gas valves are pre-set and should only be adjusted by trained Astral Pool technicians or qualified gas fitters. WATER PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT The HiNRG Pool Heater incorporates a water pressure switch which allows the burner to operate only when the circulating pump is operating.
11. If pressure switch cannot be made to activate heater when pump is turned on and off, a flow switch may need to be purchased and fitted. Contact your local Astral Pool office for details. WARNING: If the pressure switch cannot be adjusted correctly, DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER, contact Astral Pool or an Authorised Service Agent for advice.
