Turbotemp 125 Pool and Spa Heater Installation and User’s Guide
EXCESSIVE CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE BRAIN
DAMAGE OR DEATH.
• NEVER use this pool heater indoors without specified ventilation system
(and properly installed vent pipe).
• NEVER use this pool heater in the home or in partly enclosed areas (such
as garages), unless the specified ventilation system is used. If used
outdoors, install far from open windows, doors, vents and other openings.
• Waterco strongly recommends that all vents, pipes and 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.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
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.
This heater is equipped with an unconventional gas control valve that is
factory set with a manifold pressure of of 11 ± 5 Pa.
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 or faulty fuel conversion.
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 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 dealer or other qualified agency using factory specified and approved
parts. The heater is available for use with natural gas or LP (propane) 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.

!
WARNING
• Use heater only with the fuel for which it is designed.
• If a fuel conversion is necessary, refer this work to a qualified service
technician or gas supplier before putting the heater into operation.
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 (latest
edition).
Risk of fire.
Do not place articles on, near or against the heater.
Risk of burn hazard.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not touch the side
heater vent cover when the heater is operating. Side heater vent covers
are HOT and can burn when touched causing personal injury. Do not allow
children to play on or around heater or associated equipment.
The average
temperature of the heaters flue exhaust is 204 degrees Celsius (°C).
Risk of asphyxiation if exhaust is not correctly vented. Follow venting
instructions exactly when installing heater.
Do not use a draft hood with
this heater, as the exhaust is under pressure from the burner blower and
a draft hood will allow exhaust fumes to blow into the room housing the
heater. The heater is supplied with an integral venting system for outdoor
installation.
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.
