ULTRATEMP ETI™ Hybrid Heater Installation and User’s Guide
IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
warns that carbon monoxide is an “invisible killer”.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas.
1.
Carbon monoxide is produced by burning fuel, including natural gas
and propane.
2.
Proper installation, operation and maintenance of fuel-burning
appliances in the home is the most important factor in reducing
carbon monoxide poisoning.
3.
Be sure that fuel burning appliances such as heaters are installed by
professionals according to manufacturer’s instructions and codes.
4.
Always follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe operation.
5.
Have the heating system inspected and serviced annually by a trained
service technician.
6.
Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms. The alarms should
be certified to the requirements of the most recent UL, IAS, CSA and
IAPMO standard for carbon monoxide alarms. Test carbon monoxide
alarms regularly and replace dead batteries.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a
level several degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6° F. [37° C.].
The symptoms of hyperthermia include: drowsiness, lethargy, dizziness,
fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The symptoms of hyperthermia include:
1.
Unawareness of impending danger.
2.
Failure to perceive heat.
3.
Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa.
4.
Physical inability to exit the spa.
5.
Fetal damage in pregnant women.
6.
Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.
CARBON MONOXIDE GAS IS DEADLY!
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED AND
SERVICED BY A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN, QUALIFIED
IN POOL HEATER INSTALLATION. Some jurisdictions require that
installers be licensed. Check with your local building authority about
contractor licensing requirements. Improper installation and/or operation
could create carbon monoxide gas and flue gases which could cause
serious injury or death. Improper installation and/or operation will void
the warranty.
Exhaust from this pool heater contains toxic levels of carbon monoxide, a
dangerous, poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. Symptoms of carbon
monoxide exposure or poisoning include dizziness, headache, nausea,
weakness, sleepiness, muscular twitching, vomiting and inability to think
clearly. IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS,
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE POOL HEATER, LEAVE THE VICINITY
OF THE POOL OR SPA AND GET INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY.
THE POOL HEATER MUST BE THOROUGHLY TESTED BY A GAS
PROFESSIONAL BEFORE RESUMING OPERATION.
EXCESSIVE CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE BRAIN
DAMAGE OR DEATH.
• NEVER use this pool heater indoors.
• NEVER use this pool heater in the home or in partly enclosed areas
(such as garages). Install far from open windows, doors, vents and
other openings.
• Pentair strongly recommends that exhaust systems be initially and
periodically tested for proper operation. This testing can be accomplished
by using a hand-held carbon monoxide meter and/or by consulting with
a gas professional.
• Pool heaters must be used in conjunction with carbon monoxide detectors
installed near the pool heater. The carbon monoxide detectors must be
periodically inspected for proper operation so as to insure continued
safety.
Broken or malfunctioning carbon monoxide detectors must be
replaced immediately.
This heater is equipped with an unconventional gas
control valve that is factory set at a pressure of -.2 inches
wc. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can
cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Installation or service
must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
If this control is replaced, it must be replaced with an identical control. Do not
attempt to adjust the gas flow by adjusting the regulator setting.
Risk of fire or explosion from incorrect fuel use.
Do not try to run a heater set up for natural gas on
propane gas or vice versa. Only qualified service technicians should attempt
to convert heater from one fuel to the other. Do not attempt to alter the rated
input or type of gas by changing the orifice. If it is necessary to convert to a
different type of gas, consult your Pentair dealer. Serious malfunction of the
burner can occur which may result in loss of life. Any additions, changes,
or conversions required in order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the
application needs must be made by a Pentair dealer or other qualified agency
using factory specified and approved parts. The heater is available for use
with natural gas only. It is not designed to operate with any other fuels. Refer
to the nameplate for the type of gas the heater is equipped to use. Use only
fuel for which the heater in designed.
Risk of fire or explosion from flammable vapors.
Do not store gasoline, cleaning fluids, varnishes,
paints, or other volatile flammable liquids near heater.
Risk of explosion if unit is installed near propane
gas storage.
Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air.
Consult local codes and fire protection authorities about specific installation
requirements and restrictions. Locate the heater away from propane gas
storage and filling equipment as specified by the Standard for the Storage
and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases, CAN/CSA B149.2 (latest edition)
or ANSI/NFPA 58 (latest edition).
Combustion air contaminated by corrosive chemical
fumes can damage the heater and will void the warranty.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Wiring errors can also destroy the control board.
• Connect heater to 240 Volt, 60 Hz., Single Phase power only.
• Verify proper operation after servicing.
• Do not allow children to play on or around heater or associated
equipment.
• Never allow children to use the pool or spa without adult supervision.
• Read and follow other safety information contained in this manual prior
to operating this pool heater.
