10. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

A

A

WARNING:

 Check the heater for possible rodent 

nests after long periods of non-use.

To  be  followed  one  month  after  start-up  and  then  semi-

annually.
1.  Inspect top of heater and drafthood for soot, a sticky 

black substance around finned tubes and “V” baffles, 

and  open  flue  gas  passageways.  Any  visible  soot 

should be cleaned for proper operation.

A

A

CAUTION:

 Soot may be combustible. Wet sooted 

surfaces completely prior to cleaning. Do not use steel 

wire brush.

2. 

Clean main burners and pilot burner of dust and lint.

3.  Inspect  and  operate  all  controls,  gas  valve  and 

pressure relief valve (if equipped).

4. 

Make  visual  check  of  the  burner  and  pilot  flames. 

Yellow  flame  means  restriction  of  the  air  openings. 

Lifting or blowing flame indicates high gas pressure. 

Low  flame  means  low  gas  pressure.  Should  the 

latter occur, shut the heater off and contact your gas  

supplier or qualified service agency. See 

Figure 69 

and

 Figure 70.

5. 

On  indoor  heaters,  clean  room  intake  openings  to 

ensure adequate flow of combustion and ventilation 

air.

A

A

CAUTION:

 Combustion air must not be contaminated 

by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the 

heater and void the warranty.

6. 

Keep  area  around  heater  clear  and  free  from 

combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable 

and corrosive vapors and liquids.

If Heater Will Not Fire:

If you have no electrical power, it may be that your “circuit 

breaker” has tripped. Try re-setting it.
If  you  have  electrical  power  but  the  heater  will  not  fire 

check  the  following  or  see 

"TROUBLESHOOTING" on 

page 40

.

1.  The time clock must be in the “ON” position.

2. 

Your pump strainer basket may be full. If so remove 

debris.

3.  Your  filter  may  be  dirty.  If  so,  backwash  or  clean  

filter. (To tell if your filter is dirty, look to see if the filter 

pressure is higher than usual).

4. 

The  pump  may  have  lost  its  prime  and  be  running 

dry.  Check  the  pressure  on  the  filter.  If  there  is  no 

pressure,  then  you  are  not  moving  water  (or  your 

gauge is broken). Try to get the pump to run at its 

normal flow rate.

Cold Weather Operation

Important Freeze Information

MODERATE  CLIMATE:

  Heater  operation  can  continue 

during  short-term  cold  spells.  When  temperatures  are 

between  0°F  (-18°C)  and  32°F  (0°C),  flow  (continuous 

pump operation) must be maintained.

A

A

CAUTION:

 Do not use the heater to maintain 

water temperatures just above freezing or for freeze 

protection. When heater is used during freezing weather, 

care must be taken to avoid freeze-ups. Continuous 

pump operation is a must. Additional protection may be 

required. The heater is not warranted against freeze-ups.

COLD  CLIMATE:

  Prolonged  operation  with  water 

temperatures  below  50°F  (10°C)  is  not  recommended.  

When starting the heater with water temperatures below 

50°F (10°C), operate the heater continuously until higher 

temperatures  are  reached.  Operating  the  heater  for 

prolonged  periods  with  pool  water  below  50°F  (10°C) 

can seriously damage the heater, and is not covered by 

the  warranty.  For  cold  climate  areas,  please  follow  the 

winterizing procedures listed below.

Winterizing the Pool and Spa Heater

Heaters installed outdoors in freezing climate areas may be 

shut down for the winter. Observe the following procedure 

for winterizing the heater:
1.  Turn off gas valve, manual gas valve, and electrical 

supply to the heater.

2. 

Remove the ProTek Shield™ Assembly located in the 

inlet/outlet header, (under water pipes). Remove the 

heat exchanger inspection panel on the side opposite 

water piping to gain access to the drain plug on the 

return header. Open drain plug on return header. See 

 

Figure 72
