Water Piping
For your convenience the heater’s inlet and outlet are labeled.
2” PVC Unions are provided with the heater.
The piping sequence is as follows:
Pool Circulation Pump
→
Filter
→
Heater
→
Chlorinator
→
Pool
To minimize harm to the pool equipment, any inline chlorination device must be located as the last
item returning to the pool. Use only rigid PVC piping and all joints should be cleaned then secured
with PVC glue. Make sure that the direction of the water flow through the heater is correct as
indicated by the labels on the unit. When the piping installation is complete, operate the pool
pump and check the system for leaks.
When the pool heater is installed below the pool water level, isolation valves must be installed.
The pool heater should not be installed more than 6 feet below the pool water surface, or no more
than 15 feet above the pool level. Be advised that when pool equipment is located below the pool
surface a leak can result in large-scale water loss or flooding. Built Right Pool Heaters, LLC cannot
be responsible for such water loss or flooding or the damage caused by either occurrence.
The recommended flow rate is 45 gpm through the heater.
