Removing the Heater Assembly from a BP Spa System
Note: Be careful when removing a heater assembly from
a spa plumbing system. Water may splash out under
pressure.
See next page for more illustrations
.
Water under pressure in the plumbing may splash out, and onto
the system’s electronic board. Do not remove the system door
until the water has been drained from the heater assembly
housed in the system.
Turn off the main power.
1.
Close off the
2.
slice valves (or, ball valves) adjacent to the
heater assembly.
Once the valves are closed, slowly crack the heater
3.
assembly end tubes until water flows out. If the connectors
are on too tight, it may be necessary to loosen the Phillips
screws that hold the connectors together. Once the water
has been drained, continue.
Remove the system door cover.
4.
If you received the
5.
heater kit with wires
(BP2000/
BP2100 Series systems, see right):
Depress the tab on the heater connector to remove it.
If you received a heater without the wire kit or if you
6.
need to replace the heater wires (see next page):
a) Remove the nuts securing the heater wires to the
heater assembly’s terminal connectors.
Be sure to use a
supporting end wrench on the lower nut.
(Upper nut is
3/8"; lower nut is 1/4".) If a lower end wrench is not used
to hold the terminal in a fixed position when
removing or
installing the upper nut
, excessive torque will transfer to
the terminal connector and will probably damage it.
Replace the
7.
heater sensor wires as necessary.
Remove both 3/8" nuts that secure the element in place.
8.
Remove the heater assembly.
9.
Reverse the procedure to reinstall the heater assembly.
10.
Note:
Heater terminal nut installation is 30 - 35 in lbs. torque.
