It is equipped with features that take advantage of new technology developed exclusively by Hurlcon. The Hurlcon Pool Heater can safely be connected to PVC pipe and has a built in balanced flue for outdoor installation. It accepts high flow rates which help the heater run cooler, giving greater performance and long life.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS 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.
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).
