Installation and Operation Manual

   Legacy™ Model LRZM Pool/Spa Heater 

Refer to your local installation codes for more 

detailed information. The valve setting should be 

at or below the maximum working pressure of any 

component in the filter system. The maximum working 

pressure of the Legacy Model LRZ millivolt heater is 

5.1 bar.

5.8 

auxiliary Components, 

Chlorinators, ozone Generators, 

and sanitizing Chemicals

The Legacy Model LRZ millivolt heater is 

manufactured with materials that are not compatible 

with high concentrations of ozone, chlorine, bromine, 

or other sanitizing chemicals. Heater damage caused 

by excessive chemicals or improper ozonization is not 

covered by the Zodiac warranty. Be sure to adhere to 

the following:

• 

When ozone is injected upstream of the heater, 

install an offgas mixing chamber, or an ozone 

bypass system between the heater and the ozone 

injector to prevent ozone and air from entering 

the heater.

• 

When chemical feeders are used, plumb the 

feeder downstream of the heater and install 

an in-line check valve between the heater and 

the feeder (a minimum of 450 mm is required 

between the heater and the check valve).

• 

Wire any electrical chemical feeder so that it 

cannot operate unless the filter pump is running. 

If the feeder has an independent clock control, 

synchronize it with the filter clock.

• 

Never deposit chemicals directly in the pool 

skimmer.

section 6.  electrical

 WarninG

This product must be installed and serviced by a 

contractor who is licensed and qualified in pool 

equipment by the jurisdiction in which the product 

will be installed where such state or local require-

ments exists. In the event no such state or local 

requirement exists, the installer or maintainer must 

be a professional with sufficient experience in pool 

equipment installation and maintenance so that all 

of the instructions in this manual can be followed 

exactly. Before installing this product, read and fol-

low all warning notices and instructions that accom-

pany this product. Failure to follow warning notices 

and instructions may result in property damage, 

personal injury, or death.

 Caution

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic-

ing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and 

dangerous operation.  Verify proper operation after 

servicing.

6.1 

Main power

The Legacy heater does not require an external 

source of electrical power to operate. The power for 

the gas valve and safety circuit are generated by a 

thermopile. The thermopile generates a millivolt signal 

when heated by the pilot flame. Figure 15 shows the 

internal electrical wiring diagram and schematic of the 

heater.

6.2 

earth Bonding

 

Caution

To prevent premature failure of the appliance result-

ing from stray voltages and voltage differentials, the 

heater must be bonded to other equipment which is 

part of the pool plumbing system with a solid copper 

wire not smaller in diameter than 8 AWG (10mm

2

).

Zodiac requires that the appliance be connected 

to an "earth bonding loop" that includes all electrical 

equipment in the system and on the equipment pad.  

Earth bonding lugs must be connected with a solid 

copper wire not smaller than 8 AWG (10mm

2

).  Failure 

to do so will void warranty. 

Additionally, all metallic components of a pool 

structure, including reinforcing steel, metal fittings 

and above ground components be bonded together 

(forming an “earth bonding grid”) with a solid copper 

conductor not smaller than a 8 AWG (10mm

2

).
