NOTICE This is a gas appliance and should be
installed by a licensed electrician and/or
certified gas supplier. Service must be
performed by a qualified service installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.
⚠WARNING If the information in these instructions is
not followed exactly, a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage,
personal injury, or death.
This pool heater MUST NOT be
installed in any location where gasoline
or flammable vapors are likely to be
present, unless the installation is such
to eliminate the probable ignition of
gasoline or flammable vapors.
What to do if you smell gas –
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any
phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbors
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
Warranty –
Factory warranty (shipped with unit) does not apply to
units improperly installed or improperly operated.
Experience has shown that improper installation or system
design, rather than faulty equipment, is the cause of most
operating problems.
1. Improper maintenance of pool water chemistry
resulting in high water hardness and high alkalinity that
results in a lime scale build up in the copper tube is not
the fault of the equipment and is not covered under the
manufacturer’s warranty (see the Facts About Water
Chemistry section of the EnergyRite Service Manual).
2. Excessive pitting and erosion on the inside of the
copper tube may be caused by too much water velocity
through the tubes and is not covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty (see Water Connections,
Table 7A - Minimum Water Flow Requirements).
Checking equipment –
Upon receiving equipment, check for signs of shipping damage.
Pay particular attention to parts accompanying the pool
heater which may show signs of being hit or otherwise being
mishandled. Verify total number of pieces shown on packing
slip with those actually received. In case there is damage or a
shortage, immediately notify the carrier.
Do not use this pool heater if any part has been under water.
The possible damage to a flooded pool heater can be extensive
and present numerous safety hazards. Any pool heater that
has been under water must be replaced.
⚠WARNING Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause injury or
property damage. Refer to this manual for
assistance or additional information, consult
a qualified installer, service agency or the gas
supplier.
⚠ Owner warning –
The information contained in this manual is intended for use
by qualified professional installers, service technicians, or gas
suppliers. Consult your local expert for proper installation
or service procedures.
NOTICE Consult and follow all local Building and
Fire Regulations and other Safety Codes that
apply to this installation. Consult a local gas
utility company to authorize and inspect all
gas and flue connections.
Your conventionally vented gas unit must have a supply of fresh
air circulating around it during burner operation for proper gas
combustion and proper venting.
⚠WARNING Should overheating occur or the gas supply
fail to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect
the electrical supply to the pump. Instead,
turn off the manual gas control valve to
the appliance at a location external to the
appliance.
Prevention of freezing –
Heat exchangers and headers damaged by freezing are not
covered by warranty.
See the Winterizing section of the EnergyRite Service Manual.
