Winterizing Your Heater
Heaters installed outdoors as pool heaters in freezing
climate areas should be shut down for the winter. To
shut down the heater, turn off manual main gas valve
and main gas shut-off. Close isolation valves. Drain
the heater using the hose bibs located on the bottom
of both heat exchangers. Disconnect the condensate
hose from the secondary heat exchanger and drain
the condensate trap.
NOTE: There are 3 separate drains on the XTherm
that must ALL be drained to protect the heat
exchanger. These are accessible by removing the
lower front door from the heater for the 2 primary
drains and the right-rear panel for the secondary
drain. Drain any piping of all water that may
experience below-freezing temperatures.
Pool/Spa Water Chemistry
Chemical imbalance can cause severe damage to the
pool heater and associated equipment. Maintain the
water chemistry according to the chart below. If the
mineral content and dissolved solids in the water
become too high, scale forms inside the heat exchang-
er tubes, reducing heater efficiency and damaging the
heater. If the pH drops below 7.2, this will cause corro-
sion of the heat exchanger and severely damage the
heater. Heat exchanger damage resulting from chem-
ical imbalance is not covered by the warranty.
For your health and the protection of your pool equip-
ment, it is essential that your water be chemically
balanced. The following levels must be used as a
guide for balanced water.
NOTE: Chemical imbalance can cause severe
damage to your heater and associated equipment.
