IN-LINE HEATER
Essence - S
Designer - O*
Classic - O
* Not available with PearlAir System and the Ducetta
The In-Line Heater (fig. 5) is designed to maintain the starting water temperature.
The heater is not a substitute for an adequately sized water heater. Proper water
heater size should be determined by a plumber prior to the whirlpool installation.
During bathing, it is normal to experience an impression that the water is cooling.
This is the result of the body becoming acclimated to the water temperature. You
may want to purchase a water thermometer to verify actual temperature. THE
HEATER MUST HAVE A SEPARATE 20 AMP LINE (GFCI PROTECTED).
High Limit Reset Button
The heater includes an exclusive High Limit Reset. This limit control will not
"false trip" from hot tap water. It will only turn the heater off if the thermostat
fails. See instruction on heater for resetting high limit switch. If the High Limit
trips frequently, call our Technical Service Department (fig. 5).
On/Off Indicator Light
This light turns on when the heater is in operation. When water has reached tem-
perature set on thermostat control, the light will cycle on and off as heater main-
tains indicated temperature (fig. 5).
Safety Features
In addition to the thermostat control and High Limit Reset Button, the heater is
also equipped with a built-in pressure switch. This switch will not allow the
heater to turn on if the pump is not running.
The thermostat is preset and not adjustable. Water tempera-
ture should never exceed 104° F. (40°C). Prolonged use in
water temperature higher than this could induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia
occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees
above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F. The symptoms of hyperthermia
include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include failure to perceive
heat, failure to recognize the need to and the physical inability to exit the tub,
unawareness of impending hazard and fetal damage to pregnant women. The
effects of hyperthermia could include unconsciousness resulting in the danger of
drowning.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase
the risk of hyperthermia.
