ULTRATEMP ETI™ Hybrid Heater Installation and User’s Guide
POSITIONING THE HEATER
Lawn Sprinklers
Avoid placing lawn sprinkler near the heater -
they can spray water into the heater and void the
warranty.
Be sure to direct any spraying water away
from the heater. Note the wind direction to be sure
water from sprinklers is not blown toward the heater.
Sprinkler heads can produce high water pressure and
spray at an angle, different from typical rain and humid
weather. Also, sprinklers connected to a well water
system can cause mineral build up on the evaporator
coils and electronics. Salt water can also be an issue if
located near the coast.
Only a qualified service person should install the
UltraTemp ETi™ Hybrid Heater. Before installing this
product, refer to the
Important Warning and Safety
Instructions
on page ii.
In the United States, installation must be in accordance
with local codes and the most recent edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA-54. In
Canada, install the heater in accordance with local codes
and the most recent edition of the Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1.
Materials Needed for Installation
The following items are needed and are to be supplied by
the installer for all heater installations:
1. Plumbing connections (2-inch).
2. Level surface for proper drainage.
3. Suitable electrical supply line. See rating
plate on unit for electrical specifications.
A junction box is not needed at the
heater; connections are made inside
of the heater electrical compartment.
Conduit may be attached directly to the
heater jacket.
4. Electric cutout switch that will interrupt
all power to the unit. This switch must be
within line of sight of the heater. Check
local codes for requirements.
5. Watertight conduit to run the electrical
supply line.
6. Suitable gas supply line with sediment
trap (see
Table 1
on page 11 for sizing
requirements).
Roof Run-off
Make sure the heater is not located where
large amounts of water may run-off from a
roof into the unit.
Sharp sloping roofs without gutters will
allow massive amounts of rain water, mixed
with debris from the roof to be forced
through the unit. A gutter or down spout
may be needed to protect the heater.
CARBON MONOXIDE GAS IS DEADLY
– Exhaust from this pool heater contains 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.
When pool equipment is located below the pool surface, a leak from any component can cause large scale water loss or flooding.
Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. can not be responsible for such water loss or flooding which may cause damage to property or to the
product. Avoid placing the heater in locations where it can cause damage by water or condensate leakage. If this is not possible, provide a suitable drain pan
to catch and divert any leakage.
