ULTRATEMP ETI™ Hybrid Heater Installation and User’s Guide
OPERATING THE HEATER
ATTENTION - INITIAL START UP PRECAUTIONS
After the water pressure switch is activated there is a one minute temperature sensing delay then if there is a call for heat the fan will turn on and
there may be an additional 5 minute delay for the compressor to start. Be sure that there is water in the pool and that the surface level is above the
skimmer or other inlets of the pool’s filter system.
The pool pump must be on and water flowing through the heater for it to operate.
With any new pool or spa installation, operate the filter pump with the heater off long enough to completely clean the water. This will remove any
installation residue from the water. Clean the filter at the end of this operation before starting the heater. When raising the temperature of a cold
pool, program the time clock to run the pump continuously. This lets the filter system and heater operate continuously until the water reaches the
temperature setting on the temperature control. When that happens, the heater will automatically shut off, but the filter pump will keep running.

Swimming Pool Energy Saving Tips
For extended non-use, turn the heater completely off or
decrease the temperature setting of the control several
degrees to minimize energy consumption.
Pentair offers the following recommendations to help
conserve energy and minimize the cost of operating your
heater without sacrificing performance.
1. The American Red Cross recommends a maximum water
temperature of 83-86°F [28.3-30°C]. Use an accurate pool
thermometer. A difference of 3°F [1.7°C], between 83°F
and 86°F [28.3°C and 30°C], will significantly increase
energy consumption.
2. For pools used only on weekends, lower the thermostat
setting by 10°F to 15°F (5°C to 8°C) during the week to
reduce heat loss. A properly sized heater will restore
normal temperature within one day.
3. Carefully monitor the water temperature of your pool in
the summertime. You can reduce heater usage due to
warmer air temperatures.
4. Use a time clock to start the filter pump at 6 a.m. or later.
The swimming pool loses less heat after daybreak.
5. Find the proper setting on the heater temperature control
and use the Keypad Lock function to discourage further
adjustments.
6. Where possible, shelter the pool from prevailing winds
with well-trimmed hedges or other landscaping, cabanas,
or fencing.
7. Pentair recommends the use of a pool cover. Besides
providing a valuable safety feature, a pool cover will
reduce heat loss, conserve chemicals, and reduce the
load on filter systems.
8. Perform regular preventive maintenance and inspections
of the heater each new swimming season. This will
prevent loss of heating efficiency over time.
Risk of explosion or fire causing burns or death if safety interlocks are disabled. DO NOT
attempt to operate heater when SERVICE
HEATER light is on or if blower or burner will not start. Instead, follow instructions under “To Switch Off Gas to the Appliance,” and call a
qualified service technician to repair unit.
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Do not
attempt to light the heater if you suspect a gas leak. Lighting the heater can result in a fire or explosion which can cause personal injury, death,
and property damage.
Do not use this heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the heater and replace any
part of the control system which has been under water. Keep all objects off the top of the heater. Blocking air flow could damage the unit and
may void the warranty.
