General Information  
1A. Introduction  
This manual contains information for the proper  
installation and operation of the Hi-E2 Model EHE  
pool/spa heater. Certain sections are specific to United  
States or Canadian installations, and are labeled United  
States or Canada. Procedures in this manual must be  
followed exactly. To obtain a copy of this manual  
contact Teledyne Laars. For address information see  
back cover.  
SECTION 2.  
InstallationInstructions  
2A. General Requirements  
All gas-fired products require correct installation  
to assure safe and satisfactory operation. The  
requirements for pool heaters include the following:  
1B. Description  
The Hi-E2 is a very efficient gas-fired pool and  
spa heater. Its combustion system includes a heat  
exchanger which extracts 95% of the energy in the gas  
fuel. It has no standing pilot burner. It exceeds the  
requirements of energy conservation regulations such  
as those in California, Hawaii, New York, Oregon and  
other states which require that a pool heater have  
intermittentignition.  
1. Appropriate site location and clearances.  
2. Sufficient supply of clean air for combustion and  
ventilation.  
3. Proper venting of products of combustion.  
4. Properly sized gas pipe.  
5. Properly sized gas meter.  
The heater is designed to operate in conventional  
swimming pool and spa equipment arrangements. It  
requires 115V 60 Hz electrical power. It has the  
versatile Teledyne Laars FlexTemp dual-thermostat  
control system for pool/spa combinations.  
The Hi-E2 is certified by International Approval  
Services, Inc. to comply with latest editions of  
applicable standards. In the United States, the  
applicable standard is ANSI Standard Z21.56 for  
gas-fired pool heaters. In Canada, it is Standard CAN  
1-4.7-M85.  
6. Adequate water flow.  
7. Provision for disposal of combustion condensate  
water.  
In the United States, installation must be in  
accordance with local codes and the most recent edition  
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. The  
Code can be obtained from:  
National Fire Protection Association  
1 Batterymarch Park  
The heater has been designed specifically to heat  
fresh water swimming pools and spas, and with proper  
installation and care, it will provide years of reliable  
service. Do not use it to maintain pool or spa water  
temperature below 70°F. Do not use it as a heating  
boiler or general service water heater or to heat salt  
water. For special applications, consult your Teledyne  
Laars dealer.  
Quincy, MA 02269  
In Canada, install the heater in accordance with  
local codes and the most recent edition of the  
Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances, CAN  
1-B149.1 & .2. The Canadian Gas Codes are available  
from:  
Canadian Gas Association  
55 Scarsdale Road  
Don Mills, Ontario  
M3B 2R3  
1C. Warranty  
The Hi-E2 is sold with a limited factory warranty.  
A copy of the warranty is included in a plastic bag  
inside the heater and on the back cover of this manual.  
The home owner should fill out the warranty  
registration card included in the plastic bag and return  
it to Teledyne Laars. The warranty does not cover  
damage caused by improper installation, operation, or  
field modification; or damage to the heat exchanger  
caused by corrosive water. See Section 3F for  
guidelines on pool water chemistry.  
Special Precautions  
Liquefied petroleum (LP) gas is heavier than air.  
Therefore, a pool heater using LP gas is subject to  
special installation rules. Consult local codes and fire  
protection authorities about specific installation  
restrictions.  
Fuel gas and its combustion products are known  
to cause cancer or harm the reproductive process.  
Follow these installation instructions and applicable  
codes exactly to avoid this.

Locate the heater in an area where water leakage  
will not result in damage to the area around the  
appliance or to a structure. If forced to locate the  
heater where water leakage may cause damage, provide  
a suitable pan with drain under the heater. This pan  
must not restrict air flow or heater functions.  
In selection of a location, disposal of combustion  
condensate must also be considered. The heater can  
produce three gallons of condensate water per hour  
under some operating conditions. Means to drain this  
condensate must be available or special provisions,  
such as a condensate pump must be provided. See later  
section on condensate disposal.  
2B. Heater Assembly and Preparation  
The Hi-E2 can be installed in a variety of ways,  
some of them requiring preparation or assembly in the  
field. In all cases, condensate tubing and fittings,  
which are provided with the heater, must be connected  
and routed. Water connections are provided on the  
right side of the heater but can be changed to the left  
side by reversal of the water headers.  
It is best to handle these preparations before the  
heater is in its final location. Instructions are provided  
in subsequent sections of this document.  
Installation at High Elevation  
The Hi-E2 has a venturi-type combustion system  
which does not require modification for operation at  
high elevation. In this type of system, air and fuel gas  
density changes are automatically compensated for,  
assuring proper air/fuel mixture. Heating capacity is  
reduced about 3 percent per 1000 feet (305 meters)  
above sea level. In general, efficiency at high elevation  
is equal to or better than at sea level.  
2D. Installation Clearances  
Clearances between the heater and combustible  
material must be per Table 1.

2C. Heater Location  
18 (455)  
The Hi-E2 may be installed indoors or outdoors  
as outlined in later sections. When installed indoors,  
combustion air will often be piped to the heater and  
this requirement may affect the choice of location (see  
later section on air for combustion and ventilation).  
Both indoor and outdoor installations require provision  
of means for disposal of combustion condensate per  
section 2H.  
Install the heater at least 5 feet (1.52 meters)  
from the inside wall of the pool or spa unless the heater  
is separated from the pool or spa by a five-foot (1.52  
meter) high solid fence, wall or other permanent  
barrier.  
When pool equipment is located below the pool  
surface, a leak from any component can cause large  
scale water loss or flooding. Teledyne Laars cannot be  
responsible for such water loss or flooding or resulting  
damage. Location of the heater below or above the  
pool deck affects operation of its water pressure  
switch. See sections on water piping and heater start-  
up for more information about this.

Table 1. Installation Clearance Requirements.  
NOTE: See Outdoor Installation section  
regarding roof overhang.  
These clearances are the minimum acceptable.  
Whenever possible, larger clearances should be  
provided to assure adequate room for service  
operations. Note that gas piping must be provided  
through the left side of the unit and that the combustion  
air duct, when provided, also enters through the left  
side. See later section on combustion air, and also the  
section on water piping.  
Do not install the heater on carpeting or similar  
material.  
2E. Outdoor Installation  
WARNING  
Locate the heater in an open, unroofed area and  
maintain the clearances shown in Table 1. Do not  
locate the heater below or adjacent to any doors,  
windows, louvers or grates, etc., which connect in any  
way with an inhabited area of a building, even through  
another building such as a garage or utility room (see  
Figure 1). Do not locate the heater below an outdoor  
deck, unless treated as an indoor installation with  
adequate clearances and proper venting to a location  
away from the deck.  
When pool equipment is located below the  
pool surface, a leak from any component can  
cause large scale water loss or flooding.  
Teledyne Laars cannot be responsible for  
such water loss or flooding or resulting  
damage.

located in. A two-pipe system (sometimes referred to  
as “direct vent” or “sealed combustion”) has a vent  
pipe plus a pipe bringing air directly to the heater's  
combustionsystem.  
Section 2G-2 specifies requirements for provision  
of combustion and ventilation air for one-pipe  
installations. Section 2G-3 covers two-pipe  
installation.  
An important consideration in selecting one or  
two pipe installation is the quality of the combustion  
air. Indoor air is sometimes contaminated with various  
household or pool sanitation chemicals which can  
cause corrosion in the heater combustion system.  
Unless the indoor air is known to be free of these  
materials, two pipe installation is strongly  
recommended.  
Figure 1. Outdoor heater location.  
If the heater is installed close to a structure,  
protect it from rain water runoff by means of gutters,  
roof water diverters or similar measures. Do not locate  
the heater close to irrigation sprinklers. Water from  
sprinklers may damage controls and electronic  
components.  
Because the Hi-E2 is very efficient, combustion  
system exhaust gases are moist. Do not locate the  
heater such that this exhaust will impinge on  
structures or vegetation which may be damaged by  
combustioncondensate.  
2G-1. Preparation of Heater For Indoor  
Installation  
If the Hi-E2 is to be installed indoors, its exhaust  
discharge grille must be converted to an exhaust pipe  
configuration. The necessary vent collar, gasket and  
screws are shipped packaged within the heater. The  
WARNING  
In United States  
Do not install the heater with the vent within 4  
feet (1.22 m) of any opening into a building.  
In Canada  
Do not install the heater with the vent within 10  
feet (3.05 m) of any opening into a building.  
Figure 2. Removal of outdoor exhaust grille.  
2F. Outdoor Shelter Installation (Canada)  
An outdoor shelter is an unoccupied enclosure  
which does not communicate directly with occupied  
areas. The Hi-E2 may be installed in such a shelter  
only when the installation is in accordance with local  
codes and the most recent edition of Standard CAN/  
CGA B-149. These codes and standards and Teledyne  
Laars require that the heater be properly vented as  
outlined in this manual. Other requirements also apply,  
such as provision of ample uncontaminated air for  
combustionandventilation.  
2G. Indoor Installation  
The Hi-E2 can be located indoors when provided  
with “one-pipe” or “two-pipe” systems for combustion  
air and combustion product venting. A one-pipe  
installation has only a vent pipe, and air for  
combustion must be provided to the room the heater is  
Figure 3. Vent collar assembly for indoor installation.

conversion can be done quite simply as follows (see  
Figures 2 and 3):  
WARNING  
Do not store any chemicals, cleaners, or other  
corrosive material near combustion air  
openings or in the room. Avoid location of  
dryer vents in the vicinity of combustion air  
openings. Failure to prevent corrosive  
materials from mixing with combustion air can  
result in reduced heater life and unsafe heater  
operation.  
1. Remove the vent exhaust grille by removing  
the four screws which retain it. The grille, its  
gasket, and the screws may be discarded.  
2. Place the vent collar gasket on the top of the  
heater aligning its center hole and screw holes  
with those in the top of the heater.  
3. Place the vent collar over the gasket and  
fasten it in place with the screws and  
lockwashers provided. Be sure that all  
components are properly aligned. Screws  
must be tightened enough to assure a sealed  
joint without deforming the vent collar.  
2G-3. Two-Pipe Installation (Direct Vent)  
This section specifies installation requirements  
for combustion air and vent piping for “two pipe”  
installations. A two-pipe system provides isolation of  
the Hi-E2 combustion system from the space in which  
the heater is installed. It has not only a vent pipe, but  
also a combustion air pipe to provide air directly from  
the outdoors. Research studies have shown that  
contaminants which may corrode internal heater parts  
are typically at much lower levels in outdoor air than  
in air from indoors.  
2G-2. Combustion Air Requirements for  
One-Pipe Installation  
One-pipe indoor installations must have specific  
provisions for supply of combustion and ventilation air  
to the room in which the heater is located. Two air  
openings must be provided — one near the ceiling and  
one near the floor. When air is provided directly  
through an outside wall, each opening must have at  
least one square inch (6.5 square cm) of area per 4000  
BTU/h of heater input. When air is provided indirectly  
through ducts from the outside, the openings and  
passages must have at least one square inch of area per  
2000 Btu/h of heater input. These requirements are  
interpreted in Table 2.

for each of 2 openings - one near ceiling and  
one near floor

2G-3a. Connection of Combustion Air Pipe  
A collar for combustion air pipe connection is  
provided in the heater at the inlet of the filter box. As  
shown in Figure 4, the combustion air pipe is routed  
through the side of the heater to the filter box  
connection. Remove the cover plate from the left side  
panel to provide access for the air pipe.  
Table 2. Required Net Free Area of Openings for  
Combustion and Ventilation Air.  
Note that the numbers indicate the net free area  
— after allowing for the blockage of grille bars, etc.  
See applicable local codes and the previously-cited  
national codes for details. Even though codes may  
permit it, Teledyne Laars does not recommend  
installations with only “infiltration” as the means for  
provision of combustion air.  
2G-3b. Piping Materials  
Vent piping must be corrosion resistant because  
combustion condensate is usually present on its  
internal surfaces. Only the following materials are  
acceptable for vent piping:  
See Section 2G-3c for vent pipe sizing.  
PVC  
Class 100, Class 125 or Schedule 40  
CPVC Schedule 40  
29-4C® Stainless steel venting materials listed for  
venting of condensing gas-fired appliances.

pipe is to be 13 feet long with three elbows and  
the vent pipe is to be 9 feet long with one elbow.  
Since the total is 22 feet and four elbows, 4" pipe  
must be used. (Table 3 indicates that the  
maximum length of 3" pipe is 11 feet for a system  
with four elbows.)

The Hi-E2 must be vented to the outdoors. It must  
not be vented in common with any other appliance,  
even if that appliance is of the condensing type.  
Common venting can result in severe corrosion of the  
Hi-E2 or of the other appliances or their venting, or  
escape of combustion product gases through such  
appliances or vents. Do not vent the Hi-E2 to a  
fireplace chimney or building chase.  
Combustion air ducting, when provided, must not  
be shared with any other appliance or with another Hi-  
E2. Doing so may result in flow of air through the  
other appliances instead of directly from the outdoors.  
The combustion air intake and vent outlet must  
be located exterior to the building and in the same  
pressure zone - i.e. both through the roof or both  
through a side wall. The vent terminal must be located  
in accordance with local codes, as applicable, and in  
accordance with the following:

Air and Vent Piping  
1. Locate the vent terminal so that it will not be  
damaged by pedestrians and other traffic, and so  
that the discharge is not offensive. The National  
Fuel Gas Code requires a through-wall vent  
terminal be at least 7 feet (2.13 m) above grade if  
located at a public walkway.  
Piping for combustion air and venting must be  
large enough to avoid restriction of the heater  
combustion system. Pipe diameter, number of elbows  
and length of pipe determine how much it restricts flow  
to or from the heater. Also, a large heater requires  
larger pipe than a small heater because it operates with  
higher flow of combustion air and exhaust products.

2. Locate the vent terminal so the vent exhaust does  
not settle on building surfaces and other nearby  
objects. Vent products may corrode such surfaces  
or objects.  
3. Locate the vent terminal at a sufficient horizontal  
distance from any gas or electric metering,  
regulating or relief equipment. In the United  
States, this distance must be at least 4 feet  
(1.21 m). In Canada, it must be at least 10 feet  
(3.04 m).  
PVC Adapter  
when required  
4. Locate the vent terminal at a sufficient horizontal  
distance from any building opening. Take special  
care to assure that combustion products do not  
enter a building through windows, doors,  
4" PVC Pipe  
ventilation inlets, etc. In the United States, this  
distance must be at least 4 feet (1.21 m). In  
Canada, it must be at least 10 feet (3.04 m).  
As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the combustion air  
intake and the vent outlet must be installed no closer  
together than 18" (45.7cm) and no farther apart than  
60" (1.5m). The combustion air inlet opening must  
face downward to prevent entry of rain or snow. The  
vent outlet must discharge away from the combustion  
air inlet - normally in a horizontal direction when on a  
wall and vertically upward when on a roof. Both  
should terminate at least 12" (30.5cm) above the snow  
accumulation level. In locations with freezing climate,  
extension of the vent pipe outside of the building  
should be minimized. The insect screens provided with  
the heater must be installed at the combustion air and  
vent pipe openings as shown in Figure 10. Insect  
screens are sized to fit the inside of a 5" PVC pipe  
fitting. Trim them as necessary for smaller pipe sizes.  
Connect the vent pipe to the heater vent collar  
with an air-tight corrosion-resistant clamp. The  
connection must not allow leakage of combustion  
products into the space but should be removable for  
service. See Figure 7.

the vent pipe will flow back to the heater where it can  
be disposed of properly.  
Support vent piping with suitable hangers so its  
weight does not bear on the heater or building  
penetration and so that piping joints are not strained.  
Support horizontal runs at intervals no greater than  
6 feet (1.82 meters), and closer if necessary to avoid  
sagging. Sagging can trap condensate water and block  
the vent.

other means, such as through grilles or openings or  
with a small fan.  
2G-3e. Room Ventilation  
The room a Hi-E2 is installed in must be provided  
with adequate ventilation. Like other gas-fired  
appliances, the Hi-E2 releases heat to its environment,  
and a room with no ventilation may become too warm.  
In one-pipe installations, the normal (code-  
required) provisions for combustion air also assure  
reasonable ventilation of the room. If a two-pipe  
system is installed, ventilation must be provided by  
2H. Condensate Disposal  
In a high-efficiency combustion process,  
combustion product gases are cooled so much that  
liquid water is condensed. Flow of this “condensate”  
can be quite high. When pool water is very cold, as  
much as two or three gallons of condensate can be  
produced in an hour. Condensate is mildly acidic.

range.  
blower drain. If there is no water seal, air rushes into  
the collector drain, preventing normal drainage of  
condensate water, until vent drainage provides the seal  
(see Section 2L, Start-Up and Adjustment).  
Handling and disposal of condensate is not  
complicated, but it must be done correctly to prevent  
problems or complaints. A trap/neutralizer assembly is  
provided with the heater to simplify installation. This  
assembly is easily installed in the base of the heater.  
Figure 11 illustrates its installation and the routing of  
drain tubes.  
The installer must be sure to take whatever  
measures are necessary to prevent property damage by  
condensate overflow. If the heater location is such that  
this water can directly or indirectly damage a building,  
furnishings or other property, an overflow pan or other  
appropriate preventative measure should be provided.  
To install the condensate assembly, first install  
the short length of 5/8" I.D. tubing on the barbed  
fitting on the bottom of the condensate collector. Then  
drop the condensate tray into the opening in the base  
pan of the heater, bending the 5/8" tubing as necessary  
to get the tube into the tray. Readjust the 5/8" tubing  
so that its lower end is 1/4" - 3/8" above the bottom of  
the tray. The tray can be positioned with the outlet  
fitting to the right, as shown in Figure 11, or with the  
fitting to the left, depending on the direction required  
for condensate disposal. Connect the piece of 1/2" I.D.  
tubing to this outlet fitting and route it out of the heater  
through the hole in the side of the base panel. This tube  
carries condensate to the drain. If this disposal tube is  
routed to the left, remove the plug button from the hole  
on the left side of the base panel and push it into the  
hole on the right side.  
2I. Gas Supply and Piping  
Before installing gas piping, check the rating

with the correct (available) gas. Make sure that gas  
supply pressure is adequate per the requirements in

immediately in front of the blower. Position this tubing  
so that its bottom end is 1/4"-3/8" above the bottom of  
the condensate tray. This tube provides drainage for  
the vent duct and blower.  
A package of limestone gravel neutralizer is  
provided with the condensate assembly. Place this  
gravel in the tray after installing and properly  
positioning all tubes. Be sure that a limestone pebble  
does not plug any of the tubes. Place the cover on the  
tray when this is done.  
It is important that there be no sagging sections  
of tubing to trap water. Drainage to the trap and out of  
the trap to the drain must be assured by continuous  
downward routing of these tubes. It may be necessary  
to elevate the heater to provide downward routing. The  
outlet of the disposal tube must be open to the air.  
If a gravity drain is not available, a condensate  
pump must be provided in the field. Suitable  
condensate pumps are available commercially at air  
conditioningequipmentdistributors.  
Incorrect installation of the condensate assembly  
or tubing can result in overflow or waterlogging of the  
vent. In normal operation, water accumulates in the  
tray at the level of the outlet fitting, and this provides a  
“water seal” which accommodates combustion system  
pressures. Figure 12 illustrates the water seal. Note  
that water is “pulled” up toward the condensate  
collector pan and is pushed down slightly by the vent/  
Gas piping must be large enough to provide the  
required gas flow rate without excessive pressure drop.

drop to 0.5 In WC (125 Pa), based on the National  
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

Support gas piping properly so its weight does  
not bear on the heater. Install a drip leg, a non-  
restrictive shutoff valve and a union on the gas supply  
line outside of the heater (see Figure 13).  
Before operating the heater, test the gas supply  
system, including all connections, for leaks using a  
soap solution. Do not use a flame or any ignition  
source for leak detection. Disconnect the heater and  
its individual gas shutoff valve during pressure testing  
if the test pressure is higher than 1/2 psig (3.34 kPa).  
If the pressure is 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or lower, close  
the manual valve on the heater gas control during  
testing.

When the heater is started, check the supply  
pressure to verify that it is adequate during heater  
operation. Undersize piping, a restrictive fitting or an  
undersize gas meter can cause low operating pressure.  
From  
Supply  
High Elevation  
To assure good combustion and general  
operation, gas appliances are normally de-rated when  
installed at high elevation. This is not necessary with  
the Hi-E2 because it has a special venturi-type  
combustion system which self-compensates for  
changes in barometric pressure. Air flow through the  
venturi pulls the correct flow of gas into the burner

high efficiency are assured without special adjustment  
or changes to the heater.  
2J. Electric Wiring  
2J-1. Electrical Power  
The Hi-E2 requires electrical power from a 115V,  
60 Hz source. Wiring connections must be made  
exactly as shown in the wiring diagram (See Figure  
14). Grounding must be provided as required by the  
prevailingelectricalcode.  
Connect wiring inside the junction box , which is  
on the right side of the heater and is accessible through  
the door opening. Line voltage connections must be  
made within this box. A labeled green grounding screw  
is provided in the junction box for a grounding wire  
(see Figure 15).  
Figure 17. Terminal Block for Fireman’s Switch or  
Remote Control Wiring.  
2J-2. Bonding  
The National Electrical Code and most other  
codes require that all metallic components of a pool  
structure, including reinforcing steel, metal fittings and  
above ground equipment be bonded together with a  
solid copper conductor not smaller than a number 8  
wire. The heater, along with pumps and other such  
equipment must be connected to this bonding grid. A  
special labeled bonding lug is provided on the right  
side of the heater to accommodate this requirement.  
Wiring should include a means to prevent  
operation of the heater when there is no water flow.  
This is typically done with a time clock “Fireman’s  
Switch” as discussed in Section 2J-3.  
2J-3. Auxiliary Time Clock Wiring  
If a time clock is provided to control the pool  
filter pump, it should have a separate low-voltage  
(Fireman’s) switch for the heater. Route the heater’s  
24 VAC control circuit through this switch as shown in  
Figures 16 and 17. To do this, remove the “jumper”  
from the terminal block in the heater control  
compartment. Connect two wires to this terminal block  
and route them to the Fireman’s switch at the time  
clock. Provide wiring of at least 18 gauge with  
insulation at least 3/64" thick and having a temperature  
rating of at least 90oC.

2J-4. Remote Operation  
The Hi-E2 pool/spa heater controls can be wired  
for remote operation. Teledyne Laars and Jandy remote  
controls are available through the local dealer or  
distributor. The CS-02 remote control switches between  
the two temperature controllers and turns the heater on  
and off. The CS-04 has the same controls as the CS-02  
and includes a remote temperature controller.  
Figure 15. Field Wiring Connections.  
An interrupt (On-Off) type remote control can be  
connected by removing the jumper wire on the terminal  
block located in the control compartment (see Figure  
17) and connecting the two wires from the remote to  
the two terminals on the terminal block. This type of  
remote control will turn the heater on or off, but will  
not switch between the two temperature controllers on  
the Flex-Temp control panel.

2K. Water Piping  
13. Re-assemble all other components and  
fasteners.  
2K-1. Reversal of Heater Water  
Connections  
The Hi-E2 is shipped with water connections on  
the right side, but it can be modified in the field to  
provide left-side water connections. This is done by  
removing the water headers and re-installing them  
opposite to their original location. Some of the heater  
wiring and control components must be relocated, so  
this change must be done only by a trained service  
technician.  
2K-2. Pool/Spa Piping Systems  
Figure 20 illustrates typical piping for pool  
equipment in pool/spa combination pools. With its  
Flex-Temp temperature control, the Hi-E2 is  
particularly suitable for this type of pool installation.  
The heater must be protected from back-  
siphoning of water, which can result in dry starts. If  
there is any chance of back-siphoning, provide a check  
valve between the pool and the filter pump inlet.  
Arrangement of pool system components other  
than as illustrated in these diagrams can affect the  
operation of the heater’s water pressure switch.  
Location of the heater above or below the pool water  
surface can also affect operation of the switch. In  
general, the pressure switch can be adjusted to  
accommodate this effect if the heater water connections  
are no more than six feet below the pool water surface  
and no more than 15 feet above it. See instructions for  
pressure switch adjustment in the heater start-up  
section of this manual for more information about this.  
Note that when pool equipment is located below the  
pool surface a leak can result in large scale water loss  
or flooding. Teledyne Laars cannot be responsible for  
such water loss or flooding or the damage caused by it.  
Do not install a shutoff valve or any kind of  
Water connection reversal is illustrated in Figures  
18 and 19. Proceed as follows:  
1. Remove the vent exhaust grille by removing  
the four screws which retain it. Retain these  
and all other parts for later reassembly.  
2. Remove the top cover by removing the  
screws around the edges, under the overhang.  
3. Remove the header covers. Note that the  
return header cover is retained by wing nut  
fasteners inside the heater.  
4. Disconnect the pressure switch wires and  
remove the pressure switch tube from the  
inlet/outlet header by unscrewing the brass  
fitting.  
5. Remove the temperature control sensor by  
removing the retainer bracket and its cap  
screws.  
variable restriction in the water piping between the  
heater outlet and the pool/spa.  
Pool systems with water flow rates higher than  
125 GPM require an adjustable external bypass at the  
heater. See the section on start-up and adjustment for  
this information.  
6. Disconnect the limit switch wires from the  
limit switches. The limit switches and the  
short wire between them may be left in place.  
7. Remove both headers by unscrewing eight  
cap screws retaining each header.  
8. Install the inlet/outlet header on the left side  
of the heater and the return header on the  
right. Position gaskets carefully to avoid  
water leaks.  
2K-3. Connections at Heater  
The Hi-E2 has a universal water header and  
flange design. With this feature, a variety of piping  
materials and sizes can be used at the heater. 1-1/2"  
PVC or 2" copper pipe can be connected directly to  
the heater using the rubber “donut” gaskets provided  
with the heater. 2" PVC or metal pipe can be threaded  
directly to the flanges and 1-1/2" schedule 40 metal  
pipe can be used with the rubber donut gaskets (see  
Figure 21).  
9. Re-route the limit switch wires in front of the  
venturi tailpipe and attach them to the limit  
switches.  
10. Re-route the temperature sensor wires in  
front of the venturi tailpipe and insert the  
sensor into the header. When the inlet/outlet  
header is on the left side, the sensor opening  
is at the rear. Re-install the retainer bracket  
and screw.  
11. Re-install the pressure switch tube and  
fitting. Relocate fitting.

2K-4. Pressure Relief Valve  
A pressure relief valve is mandatory in any  
installation in which the water flow can be shut off  
between the heater outlet and the pool/spa.  
A pressure relief valve is not supplied with the  
Hi-E2 in the United States; however, it may be  
required by local codes. A pressure relief valve must  
be provided in Canada.  
To install a pressure relief valve, remove the 3/4"  
brass plug from the top of the inlet/outlet header (See  
Figure 22). Install the pressure relief valve in the  
opening. Provide a short length of brass or stainless  
steel pipe as necessary to position the valve above the  
sheet metal cover. Turn the valve or route discharge  
piping as necessary to assure that hot steam will not  
endanger persons near the heater. The valve setting  
should be at or below the maximum working pressure  
of any component in the filter system. The working  
pressure of the Hi-E2 heater is 75 psig.  
Figure 18. Water Connection as Shipped.  
2K-5. Automatic Chlorinators (Chemical  
Feeders)  
A high concentration of chlorine (and many  
similar chemicals) in the pool heater can be very  
destructive. Heater damage caused by chemical  
concentration is not covered by the Teledyne Laars  
Warranty. See Table 7 for guidelines on pool water  
chemistry.

IMPORTANT: If an automatic chlorinator is  
being used, equip the chlorinator with an anti-  
siphoning device so that chlorine will not siphon into  
the heater after the pump shuts off.  
MethodForInstalling

Wire an electric chlorinator so that it cannot  
operate unless the filter pump is running. If the  
chlorinator has an independent clock control,  
synchronize it with the filter clock.  
If the chlorinator is equipped with its own pump,  
install it so that it introduces the chlorine downstream  
from the heater, and, if possible, below the level of the  
heater outlet fitting.

ForNonthreadedPipe  
or Tube, Discard

The Hi-E2 pool heater operates automatically. It  
provides heat in response to the selector switch and  
temperature settings on the FlexTemp control panel on  
the front of the heater. The heater has internal controls  
to sense adequate water flow and to handle any  
abnormalcondition.  
Normal operation is as follows:  
1. The pool/spa system filter pump provides  
water flow. A pressure-flow switch in the  
heater detects water flow and enables the  
FlexTemp control to operate the heater. (If  
the recommended fireman switch has been  
provided, it must also enable operation.)  
Figure 21. Piping to Heater.  
2. If the FlexTemp selector switch is set to  
"Pool" or "Spa", and if the water temperature  
is not warm enough, the FlexTemp control  
signals the combustion system to start.  
3. The ignition control starts the combustion  
blower.  
4. When the venturi pressure switch detects  
combustion air flow and when a suitable  
“pre-purge” time has been allowed, the  
ignition control energizes a “hot surface”  
igniter.  
5. The igniter is allowed to reach ignition  
temperature, at which it glows bright red-  
orange. This is visible through the  
combustion chamber view port.  
6. The gas valve is opened and gas flows into  
the combustion air. The gas/air mixture flows

operation of the system.  
9. When the FlexTemp control stops calling for  
heat, the ignition control shuts off the gas  
valve and the flame goes out.  
10. The ignition control continues to operate the  
combustion blower for a “post-purge” period,  
after which it is turned off.  
2L-4. Gas Pressure  
Confirm that gas supply pressure is correct.  
Measure it at the heater by connecting a manometer to  
the supply pressure port on the inlet side of the gas  
valve. With the heater firing, the pressure must be  
within the range shown in Table 4. Also check the  
pressure with the heater off.  
Checking of gas pressure at the outlet of the gas  
valve requires knowledge of the venturi system of the  
Hi-E2 pool heater. Do not attempt to adjust this  
pressure without thorough understanding of its  
operation and settings, as outlined in the maintenance  
section of this manual.  
The process is repeated upon the next call for  
heat. If ignition is unsuccessful, or if the flame fails  
during normal operation, the ignition shuts off the gas  
valve. It imposes a post purge and two more ignition  
cycles, and it shuts down the system if ignition is not  
achieved in three cycles.  
2L-2. Start-up  
Before operating the heater, pour water into the  
condensate tray and verify that it drains properly.  
Confirm that pool water is flowing normally through  
the pool system and equipment. Start the heater in  
accordance with the Operating Instructions section of  
this manual, with particular attention to the lighting  
and shutdown instructions and temperature control  
operation.  
The heater may not start on the first try. Air in  
the gas line or other start-up situations may cause it to  
recycle. It will lock out if ignition is not achieved in  
three attempts. To provide three additional attempts,  
turn the pool/spa selector switch off and then back on.  
When the heater starts, immediately feel the  
outlet header of the heater to confirm that there is  
adequate water flow. The header should not be hot.  
Normally, water temperature will rise only a few  
degrees as it passes through the heater, and a “hot”  
header or pipe indicates low water flow.  
2L-5. Adjustment of Water Pressure  
Switch  
The pressure switch is pre-set at the factory for  
normal pool installations. Do not adjust it unless the  
heater water connections are more than three feet  
above or below the pool surface. If they are not in this  
range, the pressure switch must be adjusted. This can  
be done in the field if the water connections are no  
more than six feet above the pool surface and no more  
than ten feet below it. For other situations, contact a  
Teledyne Laars representative.  
Caution  
The pressure switch should be adjusted to turn  
the heater off when the pump is off. Setting  
the switch to close at too low of a flow can  
damage the appliance.  
WARNING  
When the heater is fired for the first time, the  
combustion chamber refractory binder material  
is driven out by the heat of the flame. White  
smoke and/or sharp odors may be emitted  
from the vent during this period. Do not inhale  
combustion product fumes at any time, and  
especially when these fumes are being  
emitted. This “burn-in” period will last only a  
few minutes.  
Pry off cap  
toadjust  
2L-3. Condensate  
If there is no water in the condensate trap, the  
heater’s combustion blower will pull air into the lower  
drain hose and normal drainage of combustion  
condensate will not occur. This water will accumulate  
to blower inlet level and will (temporarily) be blown  
out of the vent. Eventually it will drain back to the tray

1. Turn the Flex Temp switch to OFF, and  
make sure the pressure switch is at its lowest  
setting. This is done by rotating the adjuster  
counterclockwise as far as it will go.  
Proceed as follows:  
1. If the piping system has a manual bypass  
valve, close it.  
2. Turn off the heater by moving the Flex Temp  
switch on the temperature control panel to “Off”.  
2. Start the filter pump and confirm by means  
of an ohmmeter that the pressure switch  
closes (if the switch fails to close, replace it  
with a switch which has a lower minimum  
setting).  
3. After three minutes, note and record the  
thermometer reading. This is the pool temperature.  
3. Turn Flex Temp switch to ON. Heater should  
start.  
4. Start the heater and let it operate for at least  
five minutes. Note and record the thermometer reading.  
The difference between this reading and the first one is  
the temperature rise.  
4. Pry out the top rubber dirt plug.  
5. Use a 7/32 inch Allen wrench to turn the  
adjustment screw very slowly clockwise until  
the heater goes off.  
5. If the piping system has a manual bypass  
valve, gradually open it until the temperature rise is in  
the range required by Table 6.  
6. Slowly turn the pressure switch adjustment  
screw counter-clockwise one-quarter turn.  
The heater should come back on  
6. Scribe a line on the bypass valve shaft and  
case to mark the correct adjustment position. Wire the  
handle to the pipe to prevent tampering.  
7. Check the adjustment by turning the filter  
pump OFF. The heater should shut off  
immediately. If it does not, restart the filter  
pump and repeat Steps 6 and 7. Check the  
adjustment again.  
Note that temperature rise is somewhat less when  
the water is hot (spa application) and when heater is  
installed at elevations significantly above sea level. For  
high elevation installations, reduce the numbers in  
Table 6 by 3% per 1000 feet above sea level.

Table 6. Water Temperature Rise and Flow Rates  
(Measured at Return Header)  
2L-6. Water Temperature Rise  
In a system without external bypass, it may be  
necessary to make changes. If temperature rise is too  
low, a manual bypass must be installed. If temperature  
rise is too high, there is inadequate flow, possibly  
requiring a change to the piping system or a larger  
pump. Before proceeding with either remedy, verify  
proper heater operation. Low gas input results in low  
temperature rise and vice-versa. A problem with the  
heater internal bypass assembly also affects measured  
temperature rise.  
The Hi-E2 pool heater has an internal bypass  
device which accommodates a wide range of water  
flow. Its purpose is to assure that flow through the heat  
exchanger is adequate to provide high efficiency  
operation and prevent overheating even though flow  
through the filter system may vary.  
Correct water flow should be confirmed upon  
start-up of the heater and in most servicing situations.  
If flow is not normal, corrections must be made to the  
pool system. If the system has an external flow bypass  
(because of very high filter system flow), it should be  
adjusted to provide proper flow through the heater.  
Flow is evaluated by determining the water

the end of this operation before starting the heater.  
Do not operate the heater unless the pool is properly  
filled with water.  
When raising the temperature of water in a cold  
pool, remove all time clock settings. This lets the filter  
system and heater operate continuously until the water  
reaches the temperature setting on the thermostat.  
When that happens, the heater will shut off  
automatically, but the filter pump will keep running.  
Caution  
Keep all objects off the top of the heater, and  
do not obstruct louvre openings in heater  
sides. Blocking ventilation air flow may  
damage the heater and void the warranty.  
3B. Temperature Controls  
The Hi-E2 heater has a dual temperature control  
which allows either of two different temperature  
settings to be selected with the rotary switch on the  
control panel. The owner can set one control for  
normal use and the other for standby, or one might be  
set for a pool and the other for a spa. Setting the rotary  
switch to the middle position turns the heater off (see  
Figure 25).  
Figure 24. Temperature Rise Measurement at Return  
Header.  
WARNING  
Do not attempt repairs on the gas control or  
appliance. Tampering is dangerous and voids  
all warranties.  
WARNING  
LP GAS: To avoid possible injury, fire and  
explosion, read and follow these precautions  
and all instructions on this appliance before  
starting the heater. LP (propane) gas is  
heavier than air and will remain at ground level  
if there is a leak. Before lighting, sniff at  
ground level. If you smell gas, follow these  
rules:  
1. DO NOT light matches. DO NOT turn  
electric lights or switches on or off in area.  
DO NOT use an electric fan to remove the  
gas from area.  
Figure 25. Temperature Control Panel.  
The temperature controls on the Hi-E2 cover a  
range from approximately 70°F (21°C) to  
approximately 104°F (40°C). Always use an accurate  
pool thermometer to test the pool water temperature.  
Once the correct position for the control knob is  
determined, use the TEMP-LOK to keep it from going  
any higher by positioning the tab next to the knob and  
then tightening the screw. Note that the heater should  
not be used to maintain pool or spa temperature below  
70°F.  
2. Shut off gas at LP tank.  
3. Telephone gas company and fire  
department for instructions. Give your  
name, address and phone number.  
If your LP tank runs out of fuel, turn off gas at  
the appliance. After the tank is refilled, the  
appliance must be re-started according to the  
instructions located on the inside of the door.  
IMPORTANT: The temperature controls cannot  
be calibrated in the field. If the temperature control  
does not work, shut down the heater and replace the  
temperature control. DO NOT use the temperature  
control to shut the heater off. Remove the access door  
and turn the main gas valve to OFF.

3D. Water Chemistry  
3D-1. Pools  
The mineral content of swimming pool water  
increases daily, due to natural evaporation and the  
addition of sanitizing chemicals. If the mineral  
concentration in the pool gets too high, the excess  
minerals will deposit on the walls of the pool, in the  
filter system, and in the heater tubes. It is important to  
keep the pH factor of the pool water between 7.4 and  
7.6. See Table 7 for guidelines on other chemical  
measurements.  
Figure 26. Gas Valve.  
3D-2. Spas  
3C. Lighting and Shutdown  
The proper chemical balance in spa water is more  
critical than in a swimming pool heater operation. Due  
to the spa's size, high water temperature, and heavy  
usage, chemical values in a spa can vary greatly. This  
chemical imbalance can result in unsanitary water  
conditions, and affect the life of the heater.  
3C-1. Lighting the Heater  
Lighting and shutdown instructions are listed on  
the label attached to the inside of the service door and  
also on the inside of the control compartment door.  
Lighting instructions are as follows:  
3D-2a. Spa Water Chemistry  
1. Turn off all electrical power to the heater at the  
main junction box.  
Maintaining safe water conditions in a spa can  
only be done by regular water changes and the proper  
addition of sanitizing chemicals. Kits are available  
from your local pool supply dealer for making the  
various tests for mineral content. One of these kits will  
detect copper in the system. This is usually a warning  
that corrosion is taking place, possibly due to a low pH  
value combined with other chemistry problems. The  
condition can be corrected by changing the spa water  
and closely monitoring the pH factor and chemical  
properties of the water (see Table 7).  
2. Open the control compartment door and turn the  
gas valve to OFF.  
3. Turn the rotary switch on the temperature control  
panel to OFF.  
4. Wait 5 minutes before trying to start the heater.  
5. Turn the gas valve control knob counterclockwise  
to ON (see Figure 26).  
6. Replace the control compartment door.  
7. Turn on electrical power to the heater.

3D-2b. Water Changing  
Teledyne Laars recommends changing of spa  
water every 60 days if usage is light and every 30 days  
during heavy usage. Be sure to stabilize the water  
chemistry after every water change.

the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C).  
Symptoms include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness,  
lethargy, and an increase in the internal body  
temperature.  
3D-2c. Corrosion  
The corrosive action of pool/spa water is  
increased by the following:  
The effects of hyperthermia include:  
1. Low pH - acidity  
2. Low Total Alkalinity - bicarbonates  
3. Low Calcium hardness - soft water  
• Unawareness of impending hazard  
• Failure to perceive heat  
• Failure to recognize need to leave spa  
• Physical inability to leave spa  
• Fetal damage in pregnant women  
• Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of  
drowning  
NOTE: Teledyne Laars does not warrant heat  
exchangers damaged by corrosive water.  
3D-2d. Testing  
Teledyne Laars recommends that spa owners  
purchase a test kit and use it regularly. A minimum kit  
is one which will measure chlorine and pH levels.  
The pool/spa owner will find it helpful to have a  
qualified professional technician perform more  
extensive chemical testing and water changing on a  
regular basis.  
3F. Swimming Pool Energy Savings Tips  
Teledyne Laars suggests the following to help  
conserve fuel and minimize the cost of operating your  
pool heater without sacrificing comfort.  
1. Set the heater temperature control no higher than  
78°F (26°C). The American Red Cross maintains  
that the healthiest water temperature for  
3E. Spa/Hot Tub Safety Rules  
The following "Safety Rules for Hot Tubs,"  
recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety  
Commission should be observed when using the spa:  
swimming is 78°F (26°C) is. Be certain you are  
using an accurate pool thermometer, because a  
variance of 4 degrees, from 78 to 82°F (26 to  
28°C) will use as much as 40% more gas.  
1. Spa or hot tub water temperature 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. Carefully monitor the water temperature of your  
pool in the summer time, because heater usage  
can be reduced due to warmer air temperatures.  
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. Find the proper setting on the pool heater  
temperature control and use the TEMP-LOK to  
discourage further adjustments.  
4. Set the filter time clock to start the pump no  
earlier than 6:00 AM during the pool heating  
season. This is the time when nightly heat loss  
stabilizes.  
3. Pregnant women beware! Soaking in water above  
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.  
5. If the pool is only going to be used on weekends,  
reduce the heater temperature control setting by 8  
or 10 degrees during the week. It should be reset  
to the 78°F (26°C) level before expected usage,  
keeping in mind to allow enough lead time for the  
water to reach the desired temperature.  
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  
degrees Fahrenheit (2°C).  
6. During the winter shut down the heater by  
following the lighting and shutdown instructions  
in Section 3A. When on vacation for longer than  
a week, make sure the heater is shut off at the  
temperature control panel.  
5. Persons with medical history of heart disease,  
circulatory problems, diabetes or blood pressure  
problems should obtain their physician's advice  
before using a spas or hot tubs.  
7. Where possible, shelter the pool from prevailing  
winds with well-trimmed hedges or other  
landscaping, cabanas, or fencing.  
6. Persons taking medications which induce  
drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines,  
or anticoagulants should not use spas or hot tubs.  
8. Always use a pool cover when practical. Besides  
providing a valuable safety feature, a pool cover  
will reduce heat loss, conserve chemicals, and  
reduce the load on filter systems.  
Prolonged immersion in hot water can induce  
hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal  
body temperature reaches a level several degrees above

3G. Seasonal Care  
RightSide  
3G-1. Spring and Fall Operation  
During periods when the pool is only going to be  
used once in a while, turn the temperature control to  
the "MIN" setting. This prevents the pool from  
becoming "chilled," yet still requires the least amount  
of time to raise the water back up to swimming  
temperature.  
If the heater is not going to be used for a long  
period of time, shut it down completely, following the  
instructions in Section 3C-3, Shutdown, or the lighting  
and shutdown instructions posted inside the heater.  
3G-2. Winterizing  
If you don't plan to use the pool or spa over the  
winter and your area is subject to freezing  
temperatures, have a qualified professional technician  
perform the following steps to protect the heater:  
1. Shut off the heater's gas valve according to the  
lighting and shutdown instructions.  
RemovePlug  
2. Shut off the main supply gas cock outside the  
heater jacket.  
Figure 27. Water Header Draining.  
3. Completely drain the heater before the first frost.  
To drain the heater, remove the side panel, and  
remove the drain plug (see Figure 27).  
3H. Periodic Inspection  
WARNING  
Improper installation or maintenance can  
cause nausea or asphyxiation from carbon  
monoxide or flue gases which could result in  
severe injury, property damage, or death.  
4. Grease the threads of the drain plug and return it  
to the manifold, but do not tighten.  
5. Disconnect the copper tubing from the pressure  
switch fitting (see Figure 27).  
6. Cover the vent grille so that snow will not  
accumulate in the combustion blower, where it  
may freeze.  
3H-1. Owner Inspection  
Teledyne Laars has designed and constructed the  
Hi-E2 heater to provide long performance life when  
installed and operated properly under normal  
conditions. The following basic guidelines should be  
maintained:  
To reactivate the heater in the spring, have a  
qualified professional technician reassemble the heater  
as follows:  
1. Attach the pressure switch fitting to the copper  
tubing (see Figure 27).  
1. Keep the top of the heater clear of all debris, and  
make sure there is no collecting of flammable  
materials, leaves, paper, etc., around or beneath  
the heater.  
2. Tighten the drain plugs in the headers.  
3. Clean the condensate drainage system and  
condensate trap.  
2. Keep the pool heater area clean and free of all  
combustible materials, gasoline and other liquids,  
and vapors.  
4. Replace the combustion air filter.  
5. Uncover the vent grille.  
3. Do not use the heater if any part has been under  
water. Immediately call a qualified professional  
technician to inspect the heater and replace any  
part of the control system and any gas control  
which has been under water.  
6. Turn on the main supply gas cock outside the  
heater jacket.  
7. Turn on the heater according to the lighting and  
shutdown instructions inside the top cover.  
4. Check for spider webs and other debris at the  
combustion air inlet and vent outlet — especially  
at spring start up.

3H-2. Professional Inspection  
Inspection by a qualified professional technician,  
performed at least once a year by a qualified  
professional technician, are required to keep the heater  
operating efficiently through the years. The following  
basic checks should be performed.  
1. Inspect the condensate disposal system to be sure  
that condensate flows freely.  
2. Replace combustion air filter.  
3. For heaters installed with combustion air or vent  
piping, inspect screens at the inlet or outlet of  
these pipes. Clean screens as necessary to assure  
free flow (See illustrations in combustion air and  
vent pipe installation section).  
Figure 28. Burner Flame (visible near top of heater in  
mirror).  
4. Make sure that the pressure switch operates  
properly by shutting the filter pump off and on a  
few times. The burner should go off immediately  
after the pump stops. An ignition sequence  
should start shortly after the pump is turned  
back on.

Maintenance and Service  
WARNING  
SERVICING SAFETY  
5. Make a visual check of the main burner flame.  
The flame can be seen in a mirror/viewport  
arrangement in the upper part of the heater. The  
flame should be light blue and the burner surface  
should be dark, with only a few glowing fibers  
(see Figure 28).  
Some of the servicing procedures for the Hi-  
E2 pool heater are hazardous because they  
involve fuel gas, electricity, moving parts and  
procedures which require testing or temporary  
bypass of safety controls. For this reason, the  
heater must be serviced only by a qualified  
professional service technician.  
6. Inspect the gas and electronic controls, including  
the following:  
a. High temperature limit switch  
b. Water pressure switch  
c. Venturi pressure switch  
d. Automatic gas valve  
IMPROPER SERVICE HAZARD  
The Hi-E2 pool heater incorporates unique  
design features. Incorrect service of this  
heater can result in personal injury or damage  
to property. To avoid such hazards, the heater  
must be serviced only by a qualified  
professional service technician.

f. Vent limit switch  
g. Temperature control  
h. Control circuit fuse  
7. Perform a temperature rise test in accordance  
with Section 2L.  
4A. General  
A qualified professional technician must service  
the Hi-E2 pool heater using Teledyne Laars service  
procedures. Before calling for service, however, the  
owner should check for obvious problems. The other  
components in the pool system, including pump, filters  
and strainers, water valves, gas supply, electrical  
power and time clocks, have an effect on heater  
operation.  
8. If the heater is equipped with a pressure relief  
valve, clean any accumulated corrosion and make  
sure that water runs freely through it.  
9. Inspect the outside of the combustion chamber  
and burner for corrosion and indication of  
improper operation.  
10. Regularly inspect electrical controls for  
deterioration. Repair and replace as necessary.  
Confirm that the Flex Temp heater control is set  
to “pool” or “spa” and that the corresponding  
temperature knob is set high enough to make the heater  
operate. Make sure the pump is operating, that the  
filter and strainers aren’t clogged, that there are no  
mis-positioned water valves, that the gas or electric  
power supplies aren’t shut off and that time clocks are

properly adjusted. Also be sure that the combustion air  
filter is clean and that there is no blockage of the vent  
or combustion air inlet. See later section on  
combustion air filter service.  
4B. Induced-Draft Combustion System  
The Hi-E2 pool heater has an advanced  
2. Combustion blower - The combustion  
blower is a specially designed to handle moist  
combustion products, having special plastic  
housing and impeller. It is powered by a  
brushless DC motor.  
combustion system which makes it highly efficient and  
reliable. This system is illustrated in Figure 29.  
A special corrosion resistant high-speed blower  
pulls flow through the system and exhausts it to the  
outdoors. Air is pulled into the system through a  
combustion air supply duct, when provided, and  
through an air filter into a venturi. The venturi  
functions much like an automobile carburetor venturi -  
i.e. when air is forced through it, a “negative” pressure  
is created at the venturi throat. This negative pressure  
pulls gas through a metering orifice, resulting in an  
optimal mixture of air and fuel gas. The air and gas are  
thoroughly mixed in the venturi tailpipe, pulled through  
a special burner and ignited in the combustion  
chamber. Hot combustion products are then pulled  
through a highly efficient downward-flow heat  
exchanger. Combustion products are cooled below  
their dew point and condensate water is formed and  
drained away. Flow then enters the blower, where it is  
forced out of the heater at the vent terminal or through  
a vent pipe to the outdoors.  
3. Temperature Control - The Teledyne Laars  
Flex Temp control is an electronic control  
which senses water temperature by means of  
a thermistor and controls heater operation to  
bring the water to that selected. It has two  
temperature setting knobs which are typically  
used to set pool and spa temperatures. A  
selector switch determines which setting is  
chosen.  
4. Ignition Control - The ignition control  
provides energy for ignition of the air/gas  
mixture, monitors the flame and controls the  
combustion blower and gas valve. When the  
temperature control requires heat, the ignition  
control starts the blower, providing a pre-  
purge of the combustion chamber. Then it  
applies electrical power to a “hot surface”  
igniter. When the igniter is hot enough, it  
opens the gas valve. It has sophisticated  
means to sense ignition and flame condition  
so that unburned gas will not escape. After  
the burner is shut off, it continues blower  
operation to provide a post-purge period.  
4C. Heater Components and Their  
Operation  
1. Gas valve / Regulator - The gas valve  
controls gas flow into the venturi. It provides  
flow only when the temperature control  
require heat and only if all safety controls  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Page 22  
5. Igniter - The hot surface igniter is a ceramic  
element which becomes very hot when  
electrical power is applied to it. It functions  
both as an igniter and as flame sensor. As a  
sensor, it is the electrode through which the  
ignition control detects “rectification” of  
current passed through the flame. Inadequate  
rectification indicates an unsatisfactory flame  
condition. The ignition control responds to  
the flame signal provided by the ignitor.  
6. Venturi Pressure Switch - This switch  
verifies that air is flowing through the  
combustion system by sensing pressure  
reduction at the venturi throat (relative to  
pressure at the venturi inlet). It shuts off the  
heater if air flow is inadequate.  
Filter  
7. Limit Switches - Two limit switches prevent  
excessive water temperature - one within the  
heat exchanger and one for water leaving the  
heater. If either senses excessive temperature,  
burner operation is interrupted.  
Figure 30. Air Filter Replacement.  
The filter should be replaced annually in normal  
service. Heavy use of the heater or operation in adverse  
environments may dictate more frequent replacement,  
however. It can be removed through the bottom of the  
filter box as illustrated in Figure 30.  
Remove the wing nuts retaining the bottom panel  
and remove the panel. Grasp the bottom edge of the  
filter and pull it downward and to the right. Replace it  
only with the specified part available from a Teledyne  
Laars representative. Push the replacement filter into  
the tracks at the front and rear of the filter box.  
8. Water Pressure Switch - This control senses  
whether or not water is available to the heater  
by measuring back pressure inside of the heat  
exchanger. If the pool water pump fails or the  
water filter is blocked, the pressure switch  
prevents operation of the burner. It can be  
affected by the installation conditions as  
discussed earlier in this manual.  
9. Burner Temperature Limit Switch - This is  
a single-use switch which detects abnormal  
burner temperature. It is a disc-type switch  
which is held against the burner plenum by a  
sheet metal bracket. It has the appearance of  
an automatic-reset switch in that it has no  
reset button. However, it will reset only if  
cooled to -31oF, and therefore will not  
recycle. The burner limit switch prevents or  
interrupts burner operation if the burner  
plenum becomes too hot.  
4E. Electrical Trouble Shooting  
This section describes procedures for checking  
the electrical power and control components of the  
heater one at a time and in the order they appear in the  
control circuit.  
These procedures require a Volt-Ohm meter with  
0-150 VAC VAC range, and 0-1000 Ohm resistance  
range. Figure 31 shows the power and control circuits,  
and where to take measurements. Location numbers in  
circles have been added, and will be referenced in the  
followingsections.  
As stated at the beginning of this manual, some  
of these procedures are hazardous. Only a qualified  
service technician should service the heater.  
10. Vent Limit Switch - The vent limit switch  
protects the vent system from excessive  
exhaust temperature. It is located on the vent  
diffuser above the combustion blower. It  
interrupts burner operation if temperature  
becomes too hot for the plastic materials used  
to vent the heater.  
4E-1. 115V Electrical Power Supply  
The electrical components of the Hi-E2 pool  
heater are designed to operate with supply voltage  
ranging from 103V to 126V at 60 Hz. Measure supply  
voltage at the “hot” and “neutral” wirenut connections  
in the heater electrical junction box (identified as  
points A and B on the wiring diagram). If no voltage is  
present, correct this external to the heater. Circuit  
breakers, time clock settings or similar devices may be  
the problem. Voltage outside of the above range may  
be due to poor wiring, poor connections, other loads  
See the earlier section entitled Start-up and  
Adjustment for the normal sequence of operation.  
4D. Combustion Air Filter  
The combustion air filter is a rectangular foam  
filter located in a box near the bottom of the control  
compartment.. The filter removes lint and large scale  
dust particles to prevent blockage of the burner media.

transformer terminal with a yellow wire attached to it,  
which is point 11 on Figure 31. (This lead can be left  
in place for most of the testing.) Touch the free lead of  
the meter to the transformer terminal with a red wire,  
point 1. The meter should show 20-28 volts. If there is  
no voltage, replace the transformer.  
4E-2. Control Circuit Trouble Shooting  
The heater controls are in a 24V 60 Hz circuit  
with operating and safety controls basically arranged  
in a series circuit. Trouble shooting is done by probing  
for voltage at various points in the circuit to determine  
which component is preventing operation. Check points  
are indicated on Figure 31. The recommended  
procedure steps through the circuit in a sequential way,  
but verifying voltage at any of the numbered points  
confirms that all prior components are OK.  
4E-2b. Fuse  
Leaving the “common” voltmeter lead in place at  
point 11, touch the free probe to point 2. This is the  
terminal block screw attached to the red wire from the  
in-line fuse, and absence of voltage indicates a  
defective fuse. If there is no voltage, inspect the rest of  
the wiring to be sure that there is no “short” such as  
contact of a terminal with the heater chassis or another  
terminal. Correct any such condition and replace the  
fuse.  
Experienced technicians may be able to shorten the  
process by going directly to one of the intermediate test  
points.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Page 24  
4E-2c. Fireman Switch and External  
Absence of voltage at point 6 indicates that the  
Flex Temp control is not calling for heat. Be sure that  
knobs are set to call for heat as indicated earlier and as  
described in the Operating Instructions section of this  
manual. Verify that the thermistor sensor wires are not  
severed or shorted. Check wiring connections by  
removing the temperature control through the front of  
the bezel. If the control is properly set and all wiring  
and connections are correct, replace the Flex Temp  
control.  
Interlocks  
Probe for voltage at point 3, the other connection  
of the terminal block, which has a white wire  
connected to it. If there is no voltage, the time clock  
switch or other external interlock may be mis-adjusted,  
mis-connected or defective. Correct this external  
problem.  
4E-2d. Limit Switches  
Probe for voltage at point 4, which is the water  
pressure switch terminal with the white wire connected  
to it. This switch is mounted on the end of a copper  
tube and is about 2” in diameter. Absence of voltage at  
this point indicates that one of the limit switches is  
open. This is normally due to excessive water  
temperature, which should be thoroughly investigated  
before replacement of limit switches. Water flow  
deficiency may be due to obvious problems such as a  
defective pump or blocked water filter. Alternatively, it  
may be due to overfiring, or to a problem with the  
water piping or the heater's internal bypass control.  
Overfiring might be a result of an incorrect gas orifice  
or supply of propane gas to a heater intended for  
natural gas. If there are no such fundamental problems,  
identify which of the switches is open by temporarily  
connecting a jumper wire across its terminals. Replace  
a defective limit switch. Limit switch access is through  
the side cover panel on the side of the heater to which  
water pipes are connected.  
4E-2g. Venturi Pressure Switch  
Touch the voltmeter probe to point 7, which is  
the terminal of the venturi pressure switch having a  
purple wire connected to it. If there is no voltage at  
point 7, the venturi pressure switch is open, indicating  
inadequate flow through the combustion system. The  
venturi pressure switch is a differential type switch  
which is activated by the pressure difference created  
when air flows through the venturi. When the  
combustion blower is not operating, the venturi  
pressure switch must be open and voltage will not be  
present. See following sections on ignition control  
"lockout" and combustion blower operation for  
possibleremedies.  
Check for blockage at the combustion air inlet, a  
dirty air filter or blockage at the vent exhaust or in the  
vent. In improperly installed vent may trap condensate  
water, for example, restricting flow. If there is no  
obvious problem, analyze venturi operation as outlined  
in a later section of this manual. If flow is normal,  
replace the Venturi pressure switch.  
Note that the limit switches have different trip  
points, and it is important that replacements are  
correct. The 150°F switch has a red dot on the side of  
the brass fitting, and must be installed closest to the  
combustion chamber. The 135°F switch has no dot and  
must be installed in the tapping closest to the water  
pipingconnections.  
4E-2h. Ignition Control  
There will be voltage at point 8, which is the  
“MVP” terminal of the ignition control, only when  
there is an attempt to ignite the burner or when the  
ignition control’s flame sensing system has determined  
that it is OK to allow burner operation. Even if voltage  
has been confirmed at point 7, the “trial for ignition”  
sequence is imposed by the ignition control. This  
sequence consists of a 15 second period of pre-purge  
blower operation, a 20 second period for heatup of the  
igniter and a 7 second trial for ignition, during which  
there is voltage at point 8. If satisfactory ignition is not  
achieved, the igniter is turned off and the blower is  
operated for a 45 second post-purge. The system may  
go through this cycle as many as three times, but  
thereafter it is “locked out” by the ignition control.  
Additional attempts will be made only if the call for  
heat is interrupted by turning off electrical power or  
setting the Flex Temp control to “Off”.  
4E-2e. Water Pressure Switch  
Touch the voltage probe to point 5, which is the  
other terminal of the water pressure switch having a  
black wire is connected to it.  
If there is no voltage, the pressure switch contacts  
are open. This is almost always due to a water flow  
deficiency, the most common one being a blocked water  
filter. It may be due to causes cited in the previous  
paragraph, however, and sometimes is due to blockage  
of the copper tube or mis-adjustment of the switch.  
Investigate thoroughly, referring to the earlier section on  
“Adjustment of Pressure Switch”. If there is no problem  
with the pool system or pressure switch adjustment,  
replace the pressure switch.  
To trouble shoot the ignition control, connect the  
voltmeter probe at point 8 and set the Flex Temp  
control to call for heat. Observe that the normal  
sequence takes place by noting blower operation, the  
glow of the igniter through the combustion chamber  
sight glass and then voltage at point 8. If the blower  
4E-2f. Temperature Control  
Probe for voltage at point 6, which is the terminal  
of the venturi pressure switch having a yellow & black  
wire connected to it. This is the switch mounted on the  
frame above the blower between the vent diffuser and  
the venturi tailpipe. It is about 4” in diameter.

4E-2k. Combustion Blower  
does not operate or the igniter doesn’t glow, investigate  
as outlined in a later sections. If both of these  
components operate normally but voltage doesn’t  
appear at point 8 during the trial for ignition, replace  
the ignition control. If voltage appears at point 8 but  
there is no ignition, proceed to analysis of other  
components.  
The combustion blower operates when it is  
provided with 115V, 60 Hz power. Confirm this by  
connecting the voltmeter between the “neutral” wirenut  
and point C, which is the terminal marked F2 on the  
ignition control. Unless the system is in lockout, 115V  
should be present at point C whenever a call for heat  
reaches the venturi pressure switch (i.e. 24V at point  
6). To be sure that a lockout condition is not in effect,  
turn the heater off and then back on at the Flex Temp  
control.  
If 24V is present at point 6 but 115V does not  
appear at point C (and there is no lockout) the ignition  
control is defective. If 115V power is available at point  
C and the combustion blower does not run, the blower  
is defective and should be replaced. Note, however,  
that the blower has an internal overtemperature limit  
and before replacing it confirm that the environment of  
the heater is not excessively hot. If so, ventilation of  
the heater room may be necessary.  
4E-2i.Burner Limit Switch  
The burner limit switch is located on the front  
surface of the burner plenum near the top of the heater.  
Servicing this switch normally requires removal of the  
top of the heater, but it can be checked by probing for  
voltage at point 9 on the vent limit switch. Point 9 is  
the terminal of the vent limit switch to which is  
connected a brown wire coming down from above. The  
vent limit switch is mounted on the vent outlet diffuser  
above the combustion blower.  
Voltage will be present at point 9 only during  
normal operation or during a trial for ignition. If  
necessary restart the heater using the Flex Temp  
control to obtain one of these conditions. If voltage  
does not appear at point 9, the burner limit switch is  
open. This may be due to burner mis-adjustment,  
incorrect gas orifice size or similar problems which  
should be investigated as outlined in later sections. If  
there are no such problems and there is no evidence of  
excessive burner temperature, replace the burner limit  
switch.  
4E-2l.Igniter  
The igniter should glow during ignition attempts  
as outlined in the earlier section on ignition control. If  
it does not, connect the voltmeter between terminals  
marked D and E on the ignition control. If 115V is  
present during the igniter-on portion of the ignition  
sequence but there is no glow, the igniter is probably  
defective. If voltage is not found, the ignition control is  
defective and should be replaced.  
An igniter which will not glow should be checked  
by disconnecting the wires from the ignition control  
and measuring the igniter resistance. A cold igniter  
should have resistance in the range of 40 to 75 ohms.  
Replace the igniter if resistance is outside of this range.  
4E-2j.Vent Limit Switch  
Probe for voltage at point 10, which is the gas  
valve terminal having a brown wire connected to it. As  
in the preceding case, this terminal will have voltage  
present only during a trial for ignition or during normal  
operation. If voltage is not found, the vent limit switch  
is open, indicating that the exhaust temperature has  
been too high.  
4F. Venturi Combustion Flow System  
Verifying proper operation of the combustion  
flow system has two aspects - air flow and gas flow.  
Air flow is checked by measuring pressures at service  
ports on the venturi. Gas flow is checked by evaluating  
venturi pressures plus the regulator offset pressure and  
the gas orifice size.  
In a venturi flow system the difference between  
various pressures is far more important than their  
“gauge” value relative to the room. The gas pressure  
offset and the gas orifice pressure differential are  
especially important concepts. The following sections  
illustrate these and related information.  
Normal vent temperature is between 100oF and  
140oF. Excessive temperature might be due to  
excessive water temperature or overfiring of the  
system. Investigate water temperature and possible  
water flow deficiency. Confirm that the heater is  
equipped for the correct fuel gas - especially that  
propane gas is not being provided to a heater  
configured for natural gas. To confirm correction of  
the problem, re-set the switch by pushing the red  
button. If vent temperature is normal and the switch  
will not allow operation, replace it.

investigate air flow per section 4F-3.  
Note that when the heater is operated with the gas

will be enough time to obtain the measurement.

Note that an equalizer tube is connected from a

blockage of the combustion air. Before firing, confirm  
that this tube and the venturi pressure switch tubes are  
in place and firmly connected.

Turn the heater off at the Flex Temp control.  
Turn the gas valve knob back to "On". With the  
manometer connections remaining as they were (See  
Figure 34) , start the heater at the Flex Temp control.  
When the burner fires, the manometer should read 0.2”  
± 0.1” WC — i.e., gas pressure is 0.2" WC less than  
venturi inlet pressure. If the offset is incorrect, adjust  
the gas pressure regulator to the correct pressure. This  
can usually be done while the heater is firing, but the  
burner may go off when the regulator seal cap is  
removed. In any case, the offset pressure measurement  
must be read when the heater is operating and the seal  
cap is firmly in place. Note that a special tool is  
required to remove the regulator cap.

combined in the throat and mix thoroughly as they  
proceed through the venturi tailpipe to the burner.  
Service ports are provided at three places. On the  
right side of the venturi an inlet service port is  
provided just above the air filter box. Also on the right  
side, a throat service port is provided - at the narrowest  
section of the venturi casting. A gas pressure port is  
provided on the outlet face (right side) of the gas valve.  
To evaluate system operation requires accurate  
measurement at these ports. A digital manometer,  
known to be accurately calibrated, is ideal. Other  
instruments may be used, but the “positive/negative”  
nature of the readings must be very clear. Also, gas  
pressure offset measurements are at very low levels  
(0.2” WC) and the instrumentation must be capable of  
determining it accurately.  
Figure 36 shows the gas pressure offset reading  
when a U-Tube manometer is used.  
WARNING  
In order to discourage incorrect adjustment by  
unqualified persons, the gas valve regulator  
cap requires a special tool for removal.  
Contact your Teledyne Laars representative  
about a special tool for this cap.  
4F-2. Venturi System Checkout  
4F-2a. Unfired Venturi Differential  
Pressure  
Before firing the unit, determine if air flow  
through the system is normal by operating the system  
with the gas valve turned off. Connect the positive side  
of the manometer to the venturi inlet port, which is at  
the bottom on the right side. Connect the negative side  
of the manometer to the outlet pressure port of the gas  
valve. (See Figure 33). Turn the gas valve knob to  
"Off". Turn the heater on by selecting "Pool" or "Spa"  
at the Flex Temp control and adjusting the temperature  
setting high. The blower will start immediately and the  
manometer will indicate the "unfired venturi  
differential" pressure. This is the pressure difference  
created by airflow through the venturi. It should be  
approximately 4.7" ± 0.3" at sea level. (See Section  
4F-5 for other elevations.)  
4F-2c. Gas Orifice Differential  
Turn off the heater, disconnect the manometer  
tubes and replace the plug at the venturi inlet.  
Reconnect the tubes with the positive side of the  
manometer connected to the gas valve outlet and the  
negative side to the venturi throat as shown in  
Figure 35.  
Turn on the heater. The manometer will read zero  
until the gas valve opens. Thereafter it should read 4.0”  
± 0.3WC. See the sections on Air Flow Investigation  
and High Elevation Operation if this is not the case.  
If the reading is normal, proceed to gas pressure

4F-3. Air Flow Investigation  
If unfired venturi differential or gas orifice  
differential are abnormal, check air flow through the  
system per the following sections.  
4F-3a. Combustion Air Flow  
Begin by connecting the negative side of the  
0.2" WC  
manometer to the venturi inlet and leaving the positive  
side open to ambient, as shown in Figure 37. In a  
normally operating heater, the pressure will be 0.2 to  
0.6" WC less than the ambient pressure. The reading  
for a model 220 with clean filter and no combustion air  
duct will be near the low end of this range. For a model  
350 with clean filter and no combustion air duct, the  
reading will be near the middle. If combustion air is  
ducted to the heater, the reading will be near the high  
end. If an excessive reading is observed (i.e. more  
negative), flow is probably restricted by a dirty filter  
or blockage in the combustion air supply system.

4F-5. High Elevation Operation  
The venturi combustion flow system completely  
compensates for installation at elevations other than  
sea level. Gas orifice changes are not necessary. Unlike  
conventional systems with open type burners and  
positive pressure regulators, the gas orifice differential  
pressure is created by the air flow, and it is  
automatically reduced when air density decreased. A  
Hi-E2 heater commissioned at sea level will operate at  
nearly the same air/gas mixture when operated at  
higher elevation. Its firing rate will decrease about 3%  
per 1000 feet due to the barometric pressure change.  
In servicing a Hi-E2 heater at high elevation be  
aware that the input will be naturally reduced by this  
amount and that the differential pressures, as discussed  
in prior sections, will also be reduced. Pressure  
readings at various elevations will be approximately as  
follows:  
Figure 38. Collector Pressure Measurement  
Correct any such problems and verify normal  
operation by returning to the venturi system checkout  
procedures.  
Pressure readings will be less if the heater is  
located at an elevation significantly above sea level.

4F-3b. Flow in Heater and Vent  
If the venturi inlet pressure reading is normal (or  
less than normal), flow may be blocked within the  
heater or in the exhaust venting, or the combustion  
blower may be operating below standard. To evaluate  
this, connect the negative side of the manometer to the  
collector pressure tap, as shown in Figure 38, leaving  
the positive side open to ambient (This requires a  
pressure tap with a 1/4" NPT thread). When the heater  
is operating, the pressure at this location should be  
about 3.5 ± 0.5" WC less than ambient for a model  
220 and 2.8 ± 0.5" WC less than ambient for a model  
350. If a greater reading is observed (i.e. more  
negative), flow is restricted within the heater, most  
likely at the burner or the heat exchanger. If the  
reading is substantially less (i.e. less negative), the  
combustion blower is not operating properly or flow is  
blocked after the blower, possibly in the vent. Correct  
any such problems and verify normal operation by  
returning to the venturi system checkout procedures.  
Pressure readings will be less if the heater is  
The gas pressure offset is determined by the  
regulator spring adjustment, not air density. It is not  
affected by elevation change.  
4G. Combustion Condensate  
The condensate disposal system of the Hi-E2 pool  
heater is quite simple, but must be properly installed  
and maintained. See the installation instructions for  
information on correct tubing installation. Condensate  
drainage should be observed routinely and if necessary,  
the flow-ways should be cleaned.  
In normal operation, condensate drains from the  
condensate collector behind the combustion fan. A 5/8"  
I.D. drain tube conducts this water into the condensate  
trap/neutralizer, where a “water seal” prevents room  
air from being pulled into the system. A smaller  
amount of condensate may drain from the vent duct  
and blower. The water seal of the trap prevents vent  
gases from being discharged into the room. See Figures  
11 and 12 in the Condensate Disposal section of the  
installationinstructions.  
During start-up, condensate from the collector  
cannot reach the trap unless the water seal is  
established. This can be done by pouring water into the  
trap. The heater will self-prime by driving water into  
the vent outlet, from which it will eventually drain into  
the trap. However, it is better to avoid this by manually  
priming the trap.  
located at an elevation significantly above sea level.  
4F-4. Fuel Gas Type and Gas Orifice Size  
The Hi-E2 venturi combustion system requires  
only a gas orifice change to change from natural to  
propane gas or vice-versa. Required venturi system  
and gas pressures are the same for either gas. Required  
gas orifices are listed in the replacement parts list.  
Teledyne Laars configures its heaters for natural gas  
with 0.60 specific gravity and 1035 Btu/Ft3 or for  
propane gas with 1.52 specific gravity and 2500 Btu/  
Ft3. Consult your Teledyne Laars representative if the  
available gas is substantially different.

SECTION 5  
Capacities and Dimensions  
If condensate is not draining from the system,  
check for improper routing of the drainage tubes or  
blockage in the drainage system. Tubing must be  
installed with a continuous fall in the direction of  
condensate flow. Sags may trap water, defeating the  
intended operation. Check for blockage by  
disconnecting drainage tubes at the collector and the  
vent diffuser. Probe these openings with a tool or wire  
hook to dislodge any debris.  
Limestone gravel neutralizer is required in the  
condensate tray to prevent corrosion. This material  
should be replaced once a year to assure its continuous  
benefit. Replacement packages are available from  
Teledyne Laars or its representatives.  
It is normal that a blue/green deposit forms in the  
neutralizer. This is caused by very small  
concentrations of copper ions present in the  
condensate. By increasing the pH of the condensate,  
the limestone causes this material to precipitate and be  
retained in the gravel.  
5A. General Information  
NOTES:  
1. The Hi-E2 is design certified by International  
Approval Services as a swimming pool heater  
under ANSI Standard Z21.56 for use in the  
United States and Standard CAN1-4.7-M85  
for use in Canada.  
2. The Hi-E2 pool heater is certified for use  
indoors or outdoors in the United States.  
3. The Hi-E2 pool heater is for use with natural  
or liquefied petroleum gas. Ratings apply to  
either fuel.  
4. De-rating for elevation is not necessary  
because of the Hi-E2 heater's special  
combustion system. Reduced barometric  
pressure at high elevations naturally  
decreases input and output by approximately  
three percent per 1000 feet above sea level.  
4H. Major Component Service  
The venturi assembly, the burner assembly and  
the heat exchanger tube assembly can be replaced if  
necessary, but correct procedures and use of only  
factory-provided parts are essential to assure  
satisfactory service and safe operation. Sealing the  
system with the specified sealers and gaskets is  
especially important. Contact the Teledyne Laars  
Service Department for information.
