Pre-Start Checklist
Before attempting to start the pool heater verify that the following
items have been checked:
1. Verify proper location and installation of the pool heater.
2. Check gas piping and ensure the gas line is purged of all air.
3. Ensure that the pool is properly filled.
4. DO NOT operate pool heater if improperly filled.
5. Check to ensure that all water connections are tight.
6. Relief valve has been piped to a suitable floor drain.
7. Combustion air openings are not obstructed in any way.
Starting the Filter System
Verify proper installation of the pool heater temperature controls
and the installation of the 110°F auxiliary limit and pool supply
sensor in the mixed discharge water from the filter piping to the
pool. Clean the filter. Start the filter pump. Be sure all air is out of
all the lines including the pressure connection. Ensure that the pool
heater is not “air bound” by manually opening the temperature and
pressure relief valve. Leave the valve open until a steady flow of
water is observed at the discharge from the valve. Close the valve
and complete filling the system.
Note: Backwash the filter when the G.P.M. filtration rates are too
low to meet local codes or state code. A high temperature rise across
the pool heater is also an indication of low flow in the filter system.
Sustained low flow to the pool heater will result in cycling of the
heater on the limit controls and possible opening of the relief valve.
