AWARNING: Gasoline, as well as other ammable
materials and liquids (adhesives, solvents, etc.), and
the vapors they produce, are extremely dangerous. Do
not handle, use, or store gasoline or other ammable or
combustible materials in the vicinity of a heater.
AWARNING: Improper installation, adjustment,
alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property
damage, personal injury or loss of life. Installation
and service must be performed by a qualied installer,
service agency, or the gas supplier.
AWARNING: Do not install within 3 feet (0.9 m) of
a heat pump or an outdoor condensing unit. Strong
air intake from this type of equipment can disturb the
combustion process and cause damage or personal
injury.
AWARNING: UL-recognized fuel gas detectors are
recommended in all enclosed propane and natural
gas applications wherein there is a potential for an
explosive mixture of fuel gas to accumulate and their
installation should be in accordance with the detector
manufacturers recommendations and/or local laws,
rules, regulations, or customs.
AWARNING: The heater shall not be located in an
area where water sprinklers, or other devices, may cause
water to spray through the cabinet louvers and into the
heater. This could cause internal rusting or damage
electrical components, causing damage which will not
be covered under warranty.
1. WARNINGS
Pay Attention to These Terms
ADANGER Indicates the presence of immediate hazards which will cause severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage if ignored.
AWARNING Indicates the presence of hazards or unsafe practices which could cause severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage if ignored.
ACAUTION Indicates the presence of hazards or unsafe practices which could cause minor personal injury
or product or property damage if ignored.
CAUTION CAUTION used without the warning alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous condition
which could cause minor personal injury or product or property damage if ignored.
NOTE Indicates special instructions on installation, operation, or maintenance which are important but
not related to personal injury hazards.
AWARNING: Both natural gas and propane have
an odorant added to aid in detecting a gas leak. Some
people may not physically be able to smell or recognize
this odorant. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with the
smell of natural gas or propane, ask your local gas
supplier. Other conditions, such as “odorant fade,”
which causes the odorant to diminish in intensity, can
also hide, camouage, or otherwise make detecting a
gas leak by smell more dicult.
AWARNING: To minimize the possibility of improper
operation, serious personal injury, re, or damage to the
heater:
Always keep the area around the heater free of
combustible materials, gasoline, and other ammable
liquids and vapors.
Heater should never be covered or have any blockage
to the ow of fresh air to the heater.
AWARNING: This unit contains refractory ceramic
ber (RCF) insulation in the combustion chamber. RCF,
as manufactured, does not contain respirable crystalline
silica. However, following sustained exposure to very
high temperatures [greater than 2192°F (1200°C), the
RCF can transform into crystalline silica (cristabolite).
The International Agency for Research on Cancer
(IARC) has classied the inhalation of crystalline silica
(cristabolite) as carcinogenic to humans.
When removing the burner or heat exchanger, take
precautions to avoid creating airborne dust and avoid
inhaling airborne bers. When cleaning spills, use wet
sweeping or High Eciency Particulate Air (HEPA)
ltered vacuum to minimize airborne dust. Use feasible
engineering controls such as local exhaust ventilation
or dust collecting systems to minimize airborne dust.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment
including gloves, safety glasses with side shields, and
appropriate NIOSH-certied respiratory protection,
to avoid inhalation of airborne dust and airborne ber
particles.

Table A. Pool Water Chemistry
General Safety
Elevated water temperature can be hazardous. The
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has these
guidelines:
1. Spa water temperatures should never exceed 104°F
(40°C). A temperature of 100°F (38°C) is considered
safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested
for young children.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa
or hot tub use can cause drowsiness which could
lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in
drowning.
3. Pregnant Women Beware! Soaking in water over
102°F (39°C) can cause fetal damage during the first
three months of pregnancy resulting in the birth of a
brain-damaged or deformed child. Pregnant women
should stick to the 100°F (38°C) maximum rule.
4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should check
the water temperature with an accurate thermometer;
spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water
temperatures by as much as 4°F (2.2°C).
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease,
circulatory problems, diabetes, or blood pressure
problems should obtain a physician’s advice before
using spas or hot tubs.
6. Persons taking medications which induce
drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines, or
anticoagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.
2. WATER CHEMISTRY
NOTE: Corrosive water voids all warranties.
Chemical imbalance can cause severe damage to your
heater and associated equipment. Maintain your water
chemistry according to Table A. If the mineral content
and dissolved solids in the water become too high, scale
forms inside the heat exchanger tubes, reducing heater
eciency and damaging the heater. If the pH drops below
7.2, this will cause corrosion of the heat exchanger and
severely damage the heater. Heat exchanger damage
resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by
the warranty.
For your health and the protection of your pool equipment,
it is essential that your water be chemically balanced. The
following levels must be used as a guide for balanced
water.
ACAUTION: Free chlorine must not exceed 5 ppm
which can damage the heater and is not covered under
warranty.
Occasional chemical shock dosing of the pool or spa
water should not damage the heater providing the
water is balanced.
Automatic chemical dosing devices and salt
chlorinators are usually more efficient in heated
water, unless controlled, they can lead to excessive
chlorine level which can damage your heater.
Check valve should be installed between the heater
outlet and a chlorinator or other chemical dosing
device.
Further advice should be obtained from your pool
or spa builder, accredited pool shop, or chemical
supplier for the correct levels for your water.
Automatic Chlorinators
and Chemical Feeders
All chemicals must be introduced and completely diluted
into the pool or spa water before being circulated through
the heater. Do not place sanitizing chemicals in the
skimmer. High chemical concentrations will result when
the pump is not running (e.g. overnight).
Chlorinators must feed downstream of the heater and have
an anti-siphoning device/check valve to prevent chemical
backup into the heater when the pump is shut o. See
"Plumbing Diagram" on page 23.
NOTE: High chemical concentrates from feeders and
chlorinators that are out of adjustment will cause rapid
corrosion to the heat exchanger. Such damage is not
covered under the warranty.

in the room when the opening is communicating
directly with the outdoors or through vertical
duct(s). The total cross-sectional area shall be at
least 1 in.² of free area per 10,000 BTUH (222
mm² per kW) of total input rating of all equipment
in the room when the opening is communicating
with the outdoors through horizontal duct(s).
B. In Canada, there shall be permanent air supply
opening(s) having a total cross-sectional area of
not less than 1 in.² of free area per 30,000 BTUH
(70 mm² per kW) of the total rated input. The
location of the opening(s) shall not interfere with
the intended purpose of the opening(s) for the
ventilation air.
3. In cold climates, and to mitigate potential freeze-
up, Raypak highly recommends the installation of a
motorized sealed damper to prevent the circulation of
cold air through the heater during the non-operating
hours.

ACAUTION: Proper installation of ue venting is
critical for the safe and ecient operation of the pool
heater.
General
Appliance Categories
Heaters are divided into four categories based on the
pressure produced in the exhaust and the likelihood of
condensate production in the vent.
Category I – A heater which operates with a non-positive
vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that
avoids excessive condensate production in the vent.
Category IIA heater which operates with a non-positive
vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that
may cause excessive condensate production in the vent.
Category III A heater which operates with a positive
vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids
excessive condensate production in the vent.
Category IV A heater which operates with a positive vent
pressure and with a vent gas temperature that may cause
excessive condensate production in the vent.
See Table H for appliance category requirements.

Support of Vent Stack
The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest
on the heater vent connection. Support must be provided
in compliance with applicable codes. The vent should
also be installed to maintain proper clearances from
combustible materials. Use insulated vent pipe spacers
where the vent passes through combustible roofs and
walls.
Vent Terminal Location
1. Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen
condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked
flue condition.
2. Give special attention to the location of the vent
termination to avoid possibility of property damage or
personal injury.
3. Gases may form a white vapor plume in winter. The
plume could obstruct a window view if the termination
is installed near windows.
4. Prevailing winds, in combination with below-freezing
temperatures, can cause freezing of condensate and
water/ice build-up on buildings, plants or roofs.
5. The bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake
shall be located at least 12 in. (305 mm) above grade,
including normal snow line.
6. Un-insulated single-wall metal vent pipe shall not be
used outdoors in cold climates for venting gas-fired
equipment.
7. Through-the-wall vents for Category II and IV
appliances and non-categorized condensing appli-
ances shall not terminate over public walkways
or over an area where condensate or vapor could
create a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental
to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other
equipment. Where local experience indicates that
condensate is a problem with Category I and III
appliances, this provision shall also apply.
8. Locate and guard vent termination to prevent acci-
dental contact by people or pets.
9. DO NOT terminate vent in window well, stairwell,
alcove, courtyard or other recessed area.
10. DO NOT terminate above any door, window, or
gravity air intake. Condensate can freeze, causing
ice formations.
11. Locate or guard vent to prevent condensate from
damaging exterior finishes. Use a rust-resistant
sheet metal backing plate against brick or masonry
surfaces.
12. DO NOT extend exposed vent pipe outside of building
beyond the minimum distance required for the vent
termination. Condensate could freeze and block the
vent pipe.
U.S. Installations
Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code.
Vent termination requirements are as follows:
1. Vent must terminate at least 4 ft (1.2 m) below, 4 ft
(1.2 m) horizontally from or 12 in. (305 mm) above
any door, window or gravity air inlet to the building.
2. The vent must not be less than 7 ft (2.1 m) above
grade when located adjacent to public walkways.
3. Terminate vent at least 3 ft (0.9 m) above any forced
air inlet located within 10 ft (3.0 m).
4. Vent must terminate at least 4 ft (1.2 m) horizontally,
and in no case above or below, unless a 4 ft (1.2
m) horizontal distance is maintained from electric
meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief equipment.
5. Terminate vent at least 6 ft (1.8 m) away from adjacent
walls.
6. DO NOT terminate vent closer than 5 ft (1.5 m) below
roof overhang.
7. The vent terminal requires a 12 in. (305 mm) vent
terminal clearance from the wall.
8. Terminate vent at least 12 in. (305 mm) above grade,
including normal snow line.
9. Multiple direct vent installations require a 4 ft (1.2 m)
clearance between the ends of vent caps located on
the same horizontal plane.
Canadian Installations
Refer to latest edition of the B149 Installation code.
A vent shall not terminate:
1. Directly above a paved sidewalk or driveway which
is located between two single-family dwellings and
serves both dwellings.
2. Less than 7 ft (2.13 m) above a paved sidewalk or
paved driveway located on public property.
3. Within 6 ft (1.8 m) of a mechanical air supply inlet to
any building.
4. Above a meter/regulator assembly within 3 ft (915

Venting Installation Tips
Support piping:
horizontal runs—at least every 5 ft (1.5 m)
vertical runs—use braces
under or near elbows
Venting Congurations
For heaters connected to gas vents or chimneys, vent
installations shall be in accordance with the NFGC (U.S.),
or B149 (Canada), or applicable provisions of local building
codes.
Vertical Venting (Category I) Fan-Assisted
Installation
Natural draft venting uses the natural tendency of the
heated ue gases to rise, until they are expelled from the
top of the ue. The negative draft must be within the range
of -.01 to -.08 in. WC as measured 12 in. (305 mm) above
the appliance ue outlet to ensure proper operation. Vent
material must be listed by a nationally recognized test
agency.
Double-wall Type B vent must be used to promote draft
and to minimize condensation in the vent.
No drafthood is required or oered. A single-acting
barometric damper is required if the height exceeds 25
feet (7.6 m).
The connection from the appliance vent to the stack must
be as direct as possible. The horizontal breaching of a
vent must have an upward slope of not less than 1/4 inch
per linear foot from the heater to the vent terminal. The
horizontal portions of the vent shall also be supported for
the design and weight of the material employed to maintain
clearances and to prevent physical damage or separation
of joints.
Termination
The vent terminal should be vertical and should terminate
outside the building at least 2 ft (0.6 m) above the highest
point of the roof that is within 8 ft (2.4 m). The vent cap
should have a minimum clearance of 4 ft (1.2 m) horizontally
from and in no case above or below electric meters, gas
meters, regulators and relief equipment, unless a 4 ft (1.2
m) horizontal distance is maintained. The distance of the
vent terminal from adjacent public walkways, adjacent
buildings, open windows and building openings must be
consistent with the NFGC (U.S.) or B149 (Canada). Gas
vents supported only by ashing and extended above the
roof more than 5 ft (1.5 m) should be securely guyed or
braced to withstand snow and wind loads.
For factory approved vent termination caps, refer to the
Illustrated Parts List (IPL) section of this manual. See page
66.
CAUTION: A listed vent cap terminal adequately sized,
must be used to evacuate the ue products from the
building.

Horizontal Through-the-Wall Venting
(Category III)
Installation
These installations utilize the heater’s internal blower to
vent the combustion products to the outdoors. Combustion
air is taken from inside the room and the vent is installed
horizontally through the wall to the outdoors. Adequate
combustion and ventilation air must be supplied to the
equipment room in accordance with the NFGC (U.S.) or
B149 (Canada).
The total length of the horizontal through-the-wall ue
system should not exceed 75 equivalent ft (22.86 m) in
length. If horizontal run exceeds 75 equivalent ft (22.86
m), an appropriately-sized variable-speed extractor must
be used. Each elbow used is equal to 12 ft (3.6 m) of
straight pipe.
The vent cap is not considered in the overall length of the
venting system.
The vent must be installed to prevent ue gas leakage.
Care must be taken during assembly to ensure that all
joints are sealed properly and are airtight. The vent must
be installed to prevent the potential accumulation of
condensate in the vent pipes. It is recommended that the
vent be insulated. Insulation is required for installations in
cold environments (i.e. below 40°F or 4°C). It is required
that:
The vent must be installed with a condensate drain
located in proximity to the heater as directed by the vent
manufacturer.
The vent must be installed with a slight upward slope of
not less than 1/4 inch per foot of horizontal run to the vent
terminal.
Termination
The vent cap MUST be mounted on the exterior of the
building. The vent cap cannot be installed in a well or
below grade. It must be installed at least 12" (305 mm)
above ground level and above normal snow levels. The
vent terminal must be located NO CLOSER than 12" (305
mm) o the wall.

Termination
The exhaust vent cap MUST be mounted on the exterior
of the building, and cannot be installed in a well or below
grade. It must be installed at least 12" (305 mm) above
ground level and above normal snow levels.
The exhaust vent cap MUST NOT be installed below or
closer than 3 ft (0.9 m) from the air intake. Venting any
closer to the air intake will cause combustion gases to
recirculate into the heater.
This type of installation can cause non-warrantable
problems with components and poor operation of the
heater due to the recirculation of ue products. Multiple
vent caps should be installed in the same horizontal plane
with a 4 ft (1.2 m) minimum clearance from the side of
one vent cap to the side of the adjacent vent cap(s). See
Figure 11.
Combustion air supplied from outdoors must be free of
particulate and chemical contaminants. To avoid a blocked
ue condition, keep the vent cap clear of snow, ice, leaves,
debris, etc.
Use only the special gas vent pipes listed for use with
Category III gas burning heaters, such as the AL29-
4C stainless steel vents oered by DuraVent (www.
duravent.com). Follow the vent manufacturer’s installation
instructions carefully.
AWARNING: No substitutions of ue pipe or vent
cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would
jeopardize the safety and health of inhabitants.
ACAUTION: Condensate is acidic and highly corrosive.
Direct Vent—Vertical
Installation
These installations utilize the heater-mounted blower to
draw combustion air from outdoors and force the heated
ue products through the vent pipe under positive pressure.
The vent material must be in accordance with the above
instructions for vent materials. Vent material must be listed
by a nationally recognized test agency.
The connection from the appliance ue to the stack must
be as direct as possible and should be the same size or
larger than the vent outlet.
It is recommended that the intake vent be insulated in
colder climates.
NOTE: Use of B-vent on such a system does not meet
direct-vent requirements.
Termination
The ue should be vertical and should terminate outside
the building at least 2 ft (0.6 m) above the highest point
of the roof within 10 ft (3.0 m). The vent cap should have
a minimum clearance of 4 ft (1.2 m) horizontally from
and in no case above or below (unless a 4 ft (1.2 m))
horizontal distance is maintained) electric meters, gas
meters, regulators and relief equipment. The distance of
the vent terminal from adjacent public walkways, adjacent
buildings, open windows and building openings must be
consistent with the NFGC (U.S.) or B149 (Canada).
Vent pipes supported only by ashing and extended above
the roof more than 5 ft (1.5 m) should be securely guyed or
braced to withstand snow and wind loads.
The air inlet opening MUST be installed 1 ft (305 mm)
above the roof line or above normal snow levels that might
obstruct combustion air ow. This dimension is critical to
the correct operation of the heater and venting system and
reduces the chance of blockage from snow. The vent cap
must have a minimum 3 ft (0.9 m) vertical clearance from
the air inlet opening.
Use only the special gas vent pipes listed for use with
Category III gas burning heaters, such as the AL29-4C
stainless steel vents oered by DuraVent (www.duravent.
com). Pipe joints must be positively sealed. Follow the
vent manufacturers installation instructions carefully.

Outdoor Installation
The vent cap provided with the heater is the standard
venting method for outdoor installations.
Care must be taken when locating the heater outdoors,
because the ue gases discharged from the vent cap
can condense as they leave the cap. Improper location
can result in damage to adjacent structures or building
nish. For maximum eciency and safety, the following
precautions must be observed:
1. Periodically check venting system. The heaters
venting areas must never be obstructed in any
way and minimum clearances must be observed
to prevent restriction of combustion and ventilation
air. Keep area clear and free of combustible and
flammable materials.
2. Do not locate adjacent to any window, door, walk-
way, or gravity air intake. The vent must be located a
minimum of 4 ft (1.2 m) horizontally from such areas.
3. Install above grade level and above normal snow
levels.
4. Vent terminal must be at least 3 ft (0.9 m) above any
forced air inlet located within 10 ft (3.0 m).
5. Adjacent brick or masonry surfaces must be protected
with a rust-resistant sheet metal plate.
NOTE: Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen
condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked ue
condition.

1. Shut off the pool pump and bleed pressure from the
system.
2. Close isolation valves to minimize pool/spa water
loss.
3. Remove wing nut from bottom stud on ProTek Shield
Assy.
4. Remove bonding wire ring terminal from stud.
5. Rotate ProTek Shield Assy counter-clockwise (by
hand) to unscrew it from the assembly.
6. Inspect/replace as necessary and reverse above
procedure to reinstall. Hand tighten only! Do not
use tools.
NOTE: Make sure the O-ring is properly seated in the
O-ring groove before installation.
Unitherm Governor Operation
ACAUTION: The patented Unitherm Governor is
a thermostatic mixing valve specically designed to
maintain constant heater internal temperature between
120°F (49°C) and 135°F (57°C) despite continually
changing ow rates from the lter and changing pool
temperatures. This range is needed to reduce the
amount of condensation from the n tubes which will
occur if the heater runs for any length of time below
100°F (38°C) water from the pool. It is also needed to
inhibit scale formation in the tubes by maintaining
temperatures well below accelerated scaling
temperatures.

High-temperature CPVC header anges and header
ange nuts are provided. If there is any possibility of back-
siphoning when the pump stops, it is highly recommended
that a check valve (or valves) also be installed in the
system. It is also recommended to have a downstream ball
or gate valve to regulate heater ow and pressure.
Before attaching the 2-inch unions to the inlet/Out header,
make sure the O-rings are properly seated in the grooves.
Use Aqualube or equivalent non-petroleum-based lubricant
on the O-ring. Hand tighten the unions. Glue PVC piping
directly to the unions.

ProTek Shield Assembly
This heater is equipped with a ProTek Shield Assembly
located horizontally on the right side of the Inlet water
connection.
This component provides protection to the heat exchanger
against galvanic corrosion, when properly bonded to the
heat exchanger. It should be replaced when the weight of
the ProTek Shield is reduced to about 40% of the original
weight (1.46 lbs.).

ACAUTION: STOP the pool pump before attempting
to remove ProTek Shield Assembly. Failure to do so may
result in damage to ProTek Shield Assy, loss of pool
water, or personal injury.
