A reading of less than 220mV here indicates a 

faulty switch. If the reading is more than 500mV, turn 

the switch "OFF" and then "ON" again to be sure that 

the internal contacts are working correctly. The volt 

meter reading should drop to zero when the switch is 

"OFF" and return to at least 220mV when the switch is 

placed back in the "ON" position.

11.5  adjusting the Water pressure 

switch

 

Caution

The water pressure switch should be adjusted to 

turn the heater off when the pump is off. Setting the 

switch to close at too low of a flow can damage the 

appliance. Adjust the switch to turn the heater off, 

not on.

The pressure switch is preset at the factory for 

activation at 14 kPa. Do not adjust the pressure switch 

if the heater is installed more than 4.57 m below the 

pool surface. Consult your local Zodiac representative 

for recommendations.

On some installations, the piping from the heater 

to the pool is very short. The back pressure could be 

too low to trigger the pressure switch. If this happens, 

it may be necessary to install a directional fitting or 

elbows where the return line enters the pool. This will 

increase back pressure enough for the heater to operate 

properly.

Make sure the pool filter is clean before making 

any pressure switch adjustment. A dirty filter will 

restrict the water flow and the pressure switch cannot 

be adjusted properly.

To adjust the pressure switch, refer to Figure 26 

and proceed as follows:
1.  Turn the heater control to OFF. See Figure 20.
2.  Remove the side panel above the front header to 

access the water pressure switch.

3.  Start the filter pump and confirm by means of a 

voltmeter that the pressure switch closes (if the 

switch fails to close, replace it with a switch that 

has a lower minimum setting).

4.  Set the temperature control to the max position. 

Heater should start.

5.  With your fingers, turn the adjustment sprocket 

very slowly clockwise until the heater goes off.

6.  Slowly turn the pressure switch adjustment 

sprocket 

counterclockwise

 one-quarter turn. The 

heater should come back on.

7.  Check the adjustment by turning the filter pump 

OFF. The burners should shut off immediately. 

If they do not, restart the filter pump and repeat 

Steps 5 and 6. Check the adjustment again.

8.  Return the pool temperature control to the 

desired temperature.
It may be necessary to repeat these steps to get 

a proper setting. The switch must be set so that the 

heater will not fire unless the pump is running. If a 

proper setting cannot be reached, contact the factory 

service department.

11.6  temperature rise

The Legacy pool and spa heaters have an inter-

nal bypass which accommodates a wide range of 

water flow. The bypass is easily adjustable to change 

the temperature rise for optimum performance and 

length of heater life. The bypass assures constant heat 

exchanger flow even though flow through the filter 

system will vary depending on how dirty the filter is.
