1.2.2 Swimming Pool Energy Saving Tips
Water Pik Technologies offers the following
recommendations to help conserve fuel and minimize
the cost of operating your pool heater without sacri-
ficing comfort.
1.
The American Red Cross recommends a maxi-
mum water temperature of 78°F (25°C). Use an
accurate pool thermometer. A difference of 4F°
(2C°) , between 78°F and 82°F (26°C and 28°C),
will use as much as 40% more gas.
2.
Carefully monitor the water temperature of your
pool in the summertime. You can reduce heater
usage due to warmer air temperatures.
3.
Find the proper setting on the pool heater tem-
perature control and use the Keypad Lock
function to discourage further adjustments.
4.
Set the pump time clock to start the pump no
earlier than 6:00 AM during the pool heating
season. This is the time when nightly heat loss
balances.
5.
If the pool is only going to be used on weekends,
reduce the heater temperature control setting by
8 or 10 degrees during the week. Reset it to the
78°F (25°C) level a day or so before you plan to
use the pool.
6.
During the winter or when on vacation for longer
than a week, shut down the heater by following
the shutdown instructions found on the inside of
the heater.
7.
Where possible, shelter the pool from prevailing
winds with well-trimmed hedges or other land-
scaping, cabanas, or fencing.
8.
Always use a pool cover when practical. Besides
providing a valuable safety feature, a pool cover
will reduce heat loss, conserve chemicals, and
reduce the load on filter systems.
1.3 Warranty
The Lite2 heater is sold with a limited factory
warranty. Details are specified on the back cover of
this manual.
Make all warranty claims to an authorized Jandy
representative or directly to the factory. Claims must
include the heater serial number and model (this
information can be found on the rating plate), installa-
tion date, and name of the installer. Shipping costs are
not included in the warranty coverage.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by
improper assembly, installation, operation or field
modification. Also, damage to the heat exchanger by
corrosive water is NOT covered by the warranty. See
Section 8.1 for maintaining proper pool water chemis-
try.
NOTE:
Keep this manual in a safe place for future
reference when inspecting or servicing the heater.
1.4 Codes and Standards
The Lite2 pool and spa heater is design certified
by CSA (Canadian Standards Association) as comply-
ing with the latest edition of the "American National
Standard/CSA Standard for Gas Fired Pool Heaters",
ANSI Z21.56CAN1-4.7 .
All Jandy heaters must be installed in accordance
with the local building and installation codes as per the
utility or authorities having jurisdiction. All local codes
take precedence over national codes.
In the absence of local codes, refer to the latest
edition of the following national codes for installation:

In the United States, "The National Fuel and Gas
Code", ANSI Z223.1. Specifically, refer to Part
7, "Venting of Equipment".
2.
In Canada, "The Installation Codes for Gas
Burning Appliances and Equipment", CAN/CGA
B149.
Any changes to the heater, gas controls, gas
orifices, wiring, draft hood, vent cap, or improper
installation may void the warranty. If change is
required to any of the above, consult the factory.
