ONNECTIONS
The heater requires water flow and positive pressure to
fire and operate properly. It must therefore be installed down-
stream of the discharge side of the filter pump. A typical
installation is plumbed as follows:

1. The inlet side of the filter is plumbed directly to the dis-
charge side of the filter pump;
2. The outlet side of the filter is then plumbed to the inlet of
the heater; and
3. The outlet of the heater is plumbed to the return line to
the pool or spa. The pump, filter and heater are thus
plumbed in series.
Plumbing from the heater back to the pool or spa must
not have any valves or restriction that could prevent flow
when the pump is operating.
Heater must be located so that any water leaks will not
damage the structure of adjacent area. PVC pipe may be
glued directly into optional or field-supplied header unions.

Before attaching the optional 2-inch unions to the In/Out
header, make sure the O-rings are properly seated in the
grooves. Use AquaLube or equivalent non-petroleum-based
lubricant on the O-ring. Hand tighten the unions. Glue PVC
piping directly to the unions.
