Check pool heater area
⚠
WARNING
To prevent potential of severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage, eliminate all materials discussed
below from the pool heater vicinity and the
vicinity of the pool heater combustion air
inlet. If contaminants are found:
Remove products immediately from the
area. If they have been there for an extended
period, call a qualified service technician to
inspect the pool heater for possible damage
from acid corrosion.
If products cannot be removed, immediately
call a qualified service technician to
re-pipe vent and air piping and locate
vent termination/air intake away from
contaminated areas.
1. Combustible/flammable materials -- Do not store
combustible materials, gasoline or any other flammable
vapors or liquids near the pool heater. Remove
immediately if found.
2. Air contaminants -- Products containing chlorine or
fluorine, if allowed to contaminate the pool heater intake
air, will cause acidic condensate in the pool heater. This will
cause significant damage to the pool heater if allowed to
continue.
Check vent piping
1. Visually inspect the flue gas vent piping for any signs of
blockage, leakage, or deterioration of the piping. Notify
your qualified service technician at once if you find any
problems.
⚠
WARNING
Failure to inspect the vent system as noted
above and have it repaired by a qualified
service technician can result in vent system
failure, causing severe personal injury or
death.
Check air inlet piping (if applicable)
1. Visually inspect the air inlet elbow to be sure it is
unobstructed. Inspect the entire length of air piping to
ensure piping is intact and all joints are properly sealed.
2. Call your qualified service technician if you notice any
problems.
Check relief valve (if applicable)
1. Inspect the pool heater relief valve and the relief valve
discharge pipe for signs of weeping or leakage.
2. If the relief valve often weeps, immediately contact your
qualified service technician to inspect the pool heater
and system.
CAUTION
Be sure to shut the pool heater OFF when
backwashing the filter.
