C. Heating a Pool or Spa

Please contact your local pool/spa contractor if this boiler is to be used to heat a pool or spa. You must
consult with a pool/spa specialist since the chemicals used in a pool/spa are destructive to your boiler. A
stainless steel (or 90/10 copper/nickel alloy) tube & shell water-to-water heat exchanger must be used to
transfer heat from the boiler to a pool or spa. Pool heat exchangers are available from Nature’s Comfort.
For sizing you will need to know the volume of the pool in cubic feet or gallons. Be sure to install isolation
and bypass valves for easy servicing and also place before a chlorinator.

D. Connecting the Boiler to an Existing Indoor Boiler

A heat exchanger is needed to transfer heat from the outdoor boiler to another indoor boiler or hydronic
system so that the two systems remain isolated from each other.

As shown in the above figure, the two systems are totally isolated from each other so that the existing
hydronic system remains undisturbed and functions exactly as it did before. All pumps and controls remain
essentially the same on the existing system. If a 30-plate unit or larger is used, a larger circulation pump on
your boiler is recommended for proper water flow.

Water that circulates through the boiler is never circulated through the home’s hydronic system or vice-
versa.
