2.4.1) Precautions
against
freeze-ups
To avoid damage to the swimming pool heater, pump, filter, piping and
other accessories, make sure that the circulating pump is "ON" and that
there is adequate circulation of water through all these components to
prevent freeze-up when the outside temperature is below 0°C (32°F). If
the swimming pool heater is to be turned off at temperatures below the
freezing point, the water piping at the inlet and outlet of the swimming
pool heater must be disconnected. Also, it must be drained by opening
the drain valve at the bottom as well as the air vent, to allow the
introduction of air into the primary circuit of your pool heater. Then, the
feed water line must be bled by removing the 1/2’’ NPT plug (I) located
at the bottom of the T fitting located after the water feeder and regulator
device.

2.5.3) Prolonged
non-use
or
winterization

burner;
2)
Raise the thermostat to call for heat and cause the oil burner to
start;
3)
Let the burner fire until there is no longer a flame and combustion
is cut by the safety (usually 30 to45 seconds after the flame
extinguishes)
4)
Depress the red Re-start Button; the burner should start. If there is
still a flame, repeat the procedure until there is no more flame.
5) When you have assured yourself that steps 3) and 4) are
completed, shut-off the electrical power to the unit.
2.6)
START-UP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
SWIMMING SEASON
Have the chimney and the connecting pipes swept (INSIDE
INSTALLATION ONLY).
Have all heating surfaces cleaned if deemed necessary after a visual
check. To clean the tubes of the heat exchanger, remove the smoke
box and the flue baffles.
