should be about 3.7 in. WC natural gas and 10.5 in. WC

WATER CONNECTIONS

LOCATION

The heater requires water flow and positive pressure

to fire and operate properly. It must therefore be
installed downstream of the discharge side of the filter
pump. A typical installation is plumbed as follows:

1.The inlet side of the filter is plumbed directly to the

discharge side of the filter pump;

2.The outlet side of the filter is then plumbed to the

inlet of the heater; and

3.The outlet of the heater is plumbed to the return

line to the pool or spa. The pump, filter and heater
are thus plumbed in series.

Heater must be located so that any water leaks will not

damage the structure of adjacent area. High tempera-
ture plastic pipe (CPVC) may be connected directly into
the heater Models 926-1223, if local codes permit and
if controls operate the pump for at least fifteen minutes
after the heater is turned off.

CAUTION (Models 926-1223): NEVER install PVC
directly into heater. Four feet of copper or high tempera-
ture pipe and two elbows are required between the
heater and the PVC connections.
