Inst174 HX Series Pool & Spa Heater V02.15

MAINTENANCE

It is recommended that you check the following at least every six months and at the beginning of every swimming

season.

1. Examine the balanced flue or indoor draught diverter. Make sure there are no obstructions to the flow of

air to, or flue products from, the appliance.

2. Visually check the burner flames. If the flame appears yellow, the burner should be cleaned by a qualified

service technician.

3. Keep the heater area clear and free of combustibles and flammable liquids. Chlorine should not be stored

in the vicinity of the heater. Chlorine vapours, when drawn through a heater, can rapidly cause corrosion

of the heat exchanger.

4. Keep the heater area free from garden refuse and debris. This will help prevent insects nesting in the unit

and ensure extended life and reliability of your heater.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

1. If possible, keep pool or spa covered when not in use. This will not only cut heating costs, but will also

keep dirt and debris from settling in the pool and conserve chemicals.

2. Reduce pool thermostat setting to 28˚C or lower. This is accepted as a comfortable and healthy swimming

temperature.

3. Use an accurate thermometer.

4. Set timeclock to start filtration and circulation system no earlier than daybreak. The pool loses less heat at

this time.

5. For pools that are only used on weekends, it is not necessary to leave the thermostat set at 28˚C. During

the week, lower it by an amount that can easily be achieved in one day (generally 5˚C to 8˚C).

6. During the winter or while on vacation, turn the heater off.

7. Set up a regular program of preventative maintenance for the heater each new swimming season. Check

heat exchanger, controls, burner operation etc.

WINTER OPERATION

If the pool won’t be used for a month or more, turn the heater off at the main gas valve. For areas where there is

no danger of freezing, water should circulate through your heater all year long even though you are not heating

your pool.

Where freezing is possible, it is necessary to drain the water from the heater. This may be done by loosening the

inlet or outlet barrel union. If the heater is below water level, isolate it from the pool first by closing shut off valves

before and after the heater.

CAUTION: If the heater has been drained for freezing conditions, do not turn on until the system is circulating

water.
