Corrosion
Aluminium can be badly affected by high concentrations of Chlorine and on rare occasions
corrosion has caused leaks to appear through misuse. As long as the Chlorine concentration is
kept to normal swimming levels there is no problem. Approx 3 ppm is ideal. The maximum
allowable is 5 ppm so when shock dosing the burner MUST be bypassed. Chlorine powder or
liquid must never be added directly to the skimmer. This is bad practice under any
circumstances and can damage pool plant and pool liners. The life of your pool burner will
also be extended if you drain it when not in use during the season and flush with fresh water
before winterising. You will need to fill completely with fresh water from a hose before
draining down and disconnecting.
The alternate approach is to fill up tight and close the door if leaving unattended for a few
hours. However remember that pump failure or power cut may lead to meltdown of the heater.
IMPORTANT RULES IN USING THE BURNER
Ensure water flow before lighting fire!
Allow fire to completely burn out before stopping pump!
Beware of timers on pumps, select CONSTANT!
NO SHOCK DOSING OF CHLORINE – isolate burner first!
NEVER add Chlorine directly to skimmer!
Drain and flush burner when not in use!
