servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and  
dangerous operation.  
Connect heater to 120 Volt, 60 Hz., 1 Phase power only.  
Verify proper operation after servicing.  
Do not allow children to play on or around heater or asso-  
ciated equipment.  
Never allow children to use the pool or spa without adult  
supervision.  
Do not attempt to adjust the gas flow by adjusting the reg-  
ulator setting.  
Risk of fire or explosion from incorrect fuel  
use or faulty fuel conversion. Do not try to run a heater set  
up for natural gas on LP gas (Propane) or vice versa. Only  
qualified service technicians should attempt to convert  
heater from one fuel to the other.  
Do not attempt to alter the rated input or type of gas by  
changing the orifice. If it is necessary to convert to a differ-  
ent type of gas, consult your Sta-Rite dealer. Serious mal-  
function of the burner can occur which may result in loss  
of life. Any additions, changes, or conversions required in  
order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the applica-  
tion needs must be made by a Sta-Rite dealer or other  
qualified agency using factory specified and approved  
parts.  
Read and follow other safety information contained in this  
manual prior to operating this pool heater.  
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS/  
REQUIREMENTS  
NOTICE: Combustion air contaminated by corrosive chemi-  
cal fumes can damage the heater and will void the warranty.  
The heater is available for use with natural gas or LP  
(propane) gas. Refer to the nameplate for the type of gas  
the heater is equipped to use.  
• Use heater only with the fuel for which it is designed.  
Do not attempt to convert from one type of gas to  
another.  
• If heater design does not match available fuel, have a  
qualified service technician convert the heater to the  
correct fuel before putting heater into operation.  
NOTICE: The Combination Gas Control Valve on this  
appliance differs from most appliance gas controls. If it  
must be replaced, for safety reasons replace it only with an  
identical gas control.  
NOTICE: The jacket covers must be in place to provide  
proper ventilation. Do not operate the heater for more than  
five (5) minutes with the jacket covers removed.  
This heater is design certified by CSA International as com-  
plying with the Standard for Gas-Fired Pool heaters, ANSI  
Z21.56*CSA 4.7, and is intended for use in heating fresh-  
water swimming pools or spas.  
NOTICE: Do not use this heater as a heating boiler, water  
heater, or for heating salt-water pools. This heater is  
intended for use in heating fresh water swimming pools or  
spas only.  
Risk of fire or explosion from flammable  
vapors. Do not store gasoline, cleaning fluids, varnishes,  
paints, or other volatile flammable liquids near heater or in  
the same room with heater.  
Risk of fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, or  
asphyxiation if exhaust venting system leaks. Only quali-  
fied service technicians should attempt to service the  
heater, as leakage of exhaust products or flammable gas  
may result from incorrect servicing.  
The heater requires an external 120 VAC single-phase elec-  
tric power source.  
For indoor installation, the heater must be located as close  
as practical to a chimney or gas vent.  
Risk of explosion if an LP (propane) gas unit  
is installed in a pit or other low spot. LP gas is heavier  
than air. Do not install an LP gas fired heater in pits or  
other locations where gas might collect. Consult local  
codes and fire protection authorities about specific installa-  
tion requirements and restrictions. Locate the heater away  
from LP gas storage and filling equipment as specified by  
the Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquified  
Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 (latest edition).  
The heater is design certified by CSA International for  
installation on combustible flooring. Specified minimum  
clearances must be maintained to combustible surfaces  
(see “Installation Instructions”, Pages 9 - 11).  
The heater should be located in an area where leakage of  
the heater or connections will not result in damage to the  
area adjacent to the heater or to the structure. When such  
locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suit-  
able drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the  
heater. The pan must not restrict air flow.  
The heater may not be installed within five feet of the  
inside surface of a pool or spa unless it is separated by a  
solid fence, wall or other permanent barrier.  
LPG (Propane) fired heaters must not be installed in  
garages in Massachusetts, by order of the Massachusetts  
State Fire Marshall. For more information, call the Fire  
Marshall’s office.  
Risk of asphyxiation if exhaust is not correct-  
ly vented. Follow venting instructions exactly when  
installing heater. Do not use a draft hood with this heater,  
as the exhaust is under pressure from the burner blower  
and a draft hood will allow exhaust fumes to blow into the  
room housing the heater.  
The heater is supplied with an integral venting system for  
outdoor installation. A vent conversion kit (See Page 14 for  
Part Numbers for Conversion Kits) is available for indoor  
installations. Use the specified venting, and only the speci-  
fied venting, when heater is installed indoors.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION  
DESCRIPTION OF THE HEATER  
An electronic temperature sensing thermistor in the mani-  
fold adapter inlet controls the heater operation. When the  
inlet water temperature drops below the temperature set on  
the operating control, the burner controller supplies  
power to the combustion air blower through a series of  
safety interlocks. The interlocks consist of  
Air  
Blower  
• the pressure switch (PS), which senses that the pump is  
running,  
• the high limit switch (HLS), which opens if the heat  
exchanger outlet temperature goes above 135°F, and  
• the automatic gas shutoff (AGS) switch, which opens if  
the heat exchanger outlet temperature goes above  
140°F.  
Mixer  
Inlet  
(Cold  
Water)  
• the stack flue sensor (SFS), which shuts down the heater  
if the flue gas temperature reaches 500°F.  
The air flow switch (AFS) senses the pressure drop across  
the air metering orifice. As soon as there is sufficient air  
flow, the AFS closes, closing the circuit to the hot surface  
ignition (HSI), which ignites the fuel mixture.  
Outlet  
(Mixed  
Water)  
Burner  
Heating Coils  
On a call for heat, the blower and HSI are energized. In  
about 20 seconds, the gas valve opens and ignition occurs.  
The HSI then switches to a sensing mode and monitors the  
flame.  
FIGURE 2  
The heater is equipped with a digital operating control that  
enables the user to pre-set the desired pool and spa water  
temperatures. The control enables the user to select  
between pool and spa heating, and features a digital dis-  
play that indicates the water temperature.  
Figure 2 is a diagram of the heater showing how it operates.  
Precisely matched orifice plates meter the air and gas into  
the mixer. The blower draws the air and gas through the  
mixer and forces it into the burner’s flameholder. A sealed  
heat exchanger surrounds the flameholder, discharging  
exhaust gases out the flue.  
Two inch PVC water piping connects directly to the mani-  
fold/header on the heat exchanger using 2” PVC slip unions  
provided with the heater. The outer manifold remains cool;  
no heat sinks are required. A thermal regulator and an inter-  
nal bypass regulate the water flow through the heat

The five operating switches are:  
After start-up, the outlet water pipe should feel slightly  
warmer than the inlet pipe. If it feels hot, or if you hear the  
water in the heater boiling, there may not be enough water  
flow to the appliance. Make sure that the filter is not  
plugged. If water temperature remains high but the unit  
continues to operate, turn off the appliance and call your  
service technician.  
POOL ON Press this button to govern heater operation by  
the pool temperature setting.  
SPA ON Press this button to govern heater operation by the  
spa temperature setting.  
OFF Press this button to switch off the heater.  
TEMP Press this button to raise the temperature setting.  
SPRING AND FALL OPERATION  
TEMP Press this button to lower the temperature setting.  
If the pool is only used occasionally, lower the pool ther-  
mostat to 65°F. and leave the heater on. This will keep the  
pool and the surrounding ground warm enough so that the  
heater should restore the pool to a comfortable tempera-  
ture within about one day.  
To toggle the display between degrees Centigrade (°C) and  
degrees Fairenheit (°F):  
1. Turn the Operating Control OFF.  
2. Press TEMP or TEMP for 5 seconds. The display  
will flash once and change modes (°C to °F or vice  
versa).  
COLD WEATHER OPERATION  
When either the TEMP or TEMP buttons are depressed,  
the digital display will indicate the temperature setting.  
After five seconds, the display will return to the actual  
pool/spa temperature.  
In addition to the digital temperature display, there are five  
indicator lights:  
The POOL ON light indicates that the pool water tempera-  
ture is governing operation of the heater.  
The SPA ON light indicates that the spa water temperature  
is governing operation of the heater.  
The heater may be operated in the wintertime, provided air  
temperatures remain above freezing and the water tempera-  
ture is not permitted to drop below 65°F. Extended heater  
operation with water temperatures below 65°F can result in  
serious damage to the heater and is not covered by warranty.  
NOTICE: When starting the heater for the swimming sea-  
son with a water temperature below 50°F, the heater may  
be used to heat the water; however, make sure that the  
heater operates continuously until the water temperature  
reaches the heater’s minimum setting of 65°F.  
During cold weather, if there is no danger of freezing,  
operate the filter pump continuously even if the heater is  
not operating. If air temperatures are expected to drop  
below freezing (32°F), shut down the heater and winterize  
it (See ”WINTERIZING”, Page 8). Allowing the heater to  
freeze will void the warranty.  
The HEATING light comes on and stays on when the burn-  
er is firing. This light should be on whenever the burner is  
on. It blinks when the heater is calling for heat but not fir-  
ing. If this light is on but the burner fails to come on, one  
of the “service” lights should come on, indicating a fault in  
the system.  
The SERVICE SYSTEM light indicates that there is insufficient  
water flow to the heater. If the pump is operating, this usual-  
ly indicates that the filter and/or skimmers should be cleaned  
(some filters may require backwashing). If the light remains  
on after the filter/skimmers have been serviced, the system  
should be checked by a qualified service technician.  
The SERVICE HEATER light indicates a fault in the heater  
or its controls. If this light comes on, shut down the heater  
(See TO TURN OFF GAS TO THE APPLIANCE, at left), and  
have a qualified service technician check the system.  
MAINTAINING POOL TEMPERATURE  
To maintain pool temperature, make sure that the heater  
switch and valving are reset to pool settings after using the  
spa.  
ENERGY SAVING TIPS  
1. Keep the pool or spa covered when not in use. This  
will reduce heating costs, reduce water evaporation,  
conserve chemicals and reduce load on the filtering  
system.  
Risk of explosion or fire causing burns or  
death if safety interlocks are disabled. DO NOT attempt to  
operate heater when SERVICE HEATER light is on or if  
blower or burner will not start. Instead, follow instructions  
under “To Turn Off Gas to the Appliance”, at left, and call  
a qualified service technician to repair unit.  
2. Reduce pool thermostat to 78°F or lower; reduce spa  
temperature to 100°F.  
3. Use a time clock to start the filter pump at 6 a.m. or  
later. The swimming pool loses less heat after day-  
break.  
4. For pools used only on weekends, lower the thermostat  
setting by 10°F to 15°F during the week to reduce heat  
loss. A properly sized heater will restore normal tem-  
perature within one day.  
5. Turn the heater off when the pool will not be used for  
an extended period.  
AFTER START-UP  
CHECKING WATER FLOW  
Fire or flooding hazard. If the unit overheats  
and the burner fails to shut off, follow instructions under  
To Turn Off Gas to the Appliance”, Page 6, and call a  
qualified service technician to repair unit.  
6. Follow a regular program of preventive maintenance  
for the heater each new swimming season. Check  
operation of the heater and its controls.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS  
Explosion hazard. Purging the system with  
compressed air can cause components to explode, with  
risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only  
a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume blower when air  
purging the heater, pump, filter, or piping.  
4. Remove the Water Pressure Switch. Plug the port in the  
manifold to prevent bugs and dirt from getting into the  
manifold.  
5. Drain the plastic inlet/outlet manifold through the out-  
let pipe. If the pipe does not drain naturally to the  
pool, install a drain cock in the outlet pipe to drain the  
manifold.  
6. Cover air inlet grate with a plastic bag to prevent bugs,  
leaves, etc., from getting into the heater.  
Risk of fire or explosion from flammable  
vapors. Do not store gasoline, cleaning fluids, varnishes,  
paints, or other volatile flammable liquids near heater or in  
the same room with heater.  
The following maintenance is recommended every six  
months and at the start of every swimming season:  
1. Inspect the jacket and venting system to make sure that  
there are no obstructions to the flow of ventilating air  
or burner exhaust. On indoor heaters, check that room  
air intakes are open and clear of obstructions.  
2. Keep the area in and around the heater clear and free  
from combustible materials, gasoline and other flam-  
mable vapors and corrosive liquids.

CONTROL PANEL INDEXING  
INSTALLATION IN A GARAGE  
OR UTILITY ROOM  
The exhaust discharges vertically from outside the vent  
cover. The heater control panel assembly on top of the  
jacket can be turned to any of six positions for convenient  
access to the panel as follows:  
1. Unbolt and separate the jacket halves.  
2. Pull hair pin clips.  
Risk of fire and explosion if installed at floor  
level in an automotive garage or near gasoline or flamma-  
ble liquid storage. Gasoline fumes are heavier than air and  
will settle to floor level in closed spaces. Gasoline fumes  
and spilled gasoline or other volatile liquids (such as some  
paints and varnishes) will travel across the floor and can be  
ignited by a gas appliance. In a utility room or residential  
garage installation, install the heater with the base at least  
18 inches above the floor. In a garage, install a rail or wall  
to protect the heater from physical damage by a moving  
vehicle.  
3. Depress plastic clips on the control panel assembly.  
4. Lift panel off of support plate.  
5. Turn the assembly to the desired position and snap in  
place.  
6. Make sure that the operating controls can be  
adjusted without having to lean over the  
exhaust vent.  
Provide an adequate ventilation air supply (see Instruc-  
tions, at right). Choose a location that will avoid contami-  
nation by chemical fumes.  
7. Replace hair pin clips.  
8. Replace jacket halves and bolts and tighten.

VERTICAL VENTING - NEGATIVE PRESSURE  
(See Figures 11 and 12)  
Vent the heater vertically in a negative pressure (positive  
draft) system in accordance with the National Fuel Gas  
Code, ANSI Z223.1, and local codes. Type “B” Double-  
wall vent connector is recommended; however single-wall  
pipe is allowed by the National Fuel Gas Code in some  
circumstances. Consult your local code official for detailed  
information. Do not use a draft hood with this heater.  
To connect a negative pressure metal gas vent to the  
heater, order the appropriate Metal Flue Collar from the  
chart below:  
Risk of fire or asphyxiation if vent is not  
assembled according to manufacturer’s instructions or if  
vent parts from different manufacturers are mixed. Vent  
parts from different manufacturers ARE NOT interchange-  
able. Mixing parts from more than one manufacturer may  
cause leaks or damage to vent. When assembling a vent,  
pick one manufacturer and be sure that all vent parts come  
from that manufacturer and are specified by the manufac-  
turer for your system. Follow manufacturer’s instructions  
and local and National Fuel Gas Code requirements care-  
fully during assembly and installation.

4. Install vent pipe so that it can expand and contract  
freely as the temperature changes. Support the vent  
pipe according to applicable codes and the vent manu-  
facturer’s instructions. Pipe support must allow the  
vent pipe free movement out and back, from side to  
side, or up and down as necessary, without putting a  
strain on the heater or vent body. Slope horizontal pipe  
runs up from the heater at least 1/4” per foot. Install  
Listed condensate drains at low points where conden-  
sate might collect. Plumb condensate drains to a drain  
through hard piping or high-temperature tubing such  
as silicone rubber or EPDM rubber – do not use vinyl  
or other low temperature tubing. Follow drain manu-  
facturer’s installation instructions.  
5. Use Listed firestops for floor and ceiling penetrations.  
Use Listed thimble for wall penetrations. Use a Listed  
roof flashing, roof jack, or roof thimble for all roof pen-  
etrations. Do not fill the space around the vent (that is,  
the clear air space in the thimble or firestop) with  
insulation. The roof opening must be located so that  
the vent is vertical.  
1. See Table 3, below, to determine allowable vent sizes  
for your heater.  
NOTICE: Table 3 is for installations in which the total later-  
al vent length (that is, the horizontal distance from the flue  
collar to the main vertical portion of the vent) is less than  
1/2 the total vent height (the vertical distance from the flue  
collar to the vent termination) and which have three or less  
elbows in the system. For venting systems which do not  
meet these conditions, consult the National Fuel Gas  
Code, ANSI Z223.1  
2. Install the metal Flue Collar in the Vent Body of the  
heater (located under the outside vent cover). Fasten  
the metal Flue Collar to the Vent Body with two #10  
®

If the water flow rate to the heater is above 120 GPM, it  
must be reduced by installing a manual bypass valve (Figure  
17). After installing the valve, adjust the valve to bring the  
flow rate within the acceptable range. Then remove the  
valve handle or lock it in place to prevent tampering.  
Warm Water Out  
Occasionally a two-speed pump will not develop enough  
pressure on the low speed to operate the heater. In this  
case, run the pump at high speed only to operate the  
heater. If this does not solve the problem, do not try to run  
the heater. Instead, correct the installation.

Do not operate the heater while an automatic pool cleaner  
is also operating. If the circulation pump suction is plugged  
(for example by leaves), there may not be adequate flow to  
the heater. Do not rely on the pressure switch in this case.

WATER CHEMISTRY  
Water chemistry should follow good swimming pool water  
chemistry practices. See Table 9 (below) for water chem-  
istry parameters.  
FIGURE 17: Manual bypass valve  
When using a chlorinator, install it downstream from the  
heater and at a lower level than the heater outlet. Install a  
corrosion resistant positive seal check valve (see Figure 15)  
between the heater and the chlorinator to prevent concen-  
trated chemicals from back-siphoning into the heater.  
Back-siphoning is most likely to occur when the pump  
stops, creating a pressure-suction differential.

NOTICE: When the heater is mounted more than five feet  
above or two feet below the deck level, a Pressure Switch  
is no longer adequate. A Flow Switch must be installed  
instead.  
NOTICE: Heater operation with incorrect Pressure Switch  
setting may cause operation with no water flow. Operation  
of the heater without sufficient water flow may severely  
damage it.  
WATER PRESSURE SWITCH  
Hazardous pressure. Do not bypass the Water  
Pressure Switch or render it inoperable.  
Switch Settings  
The water pressure switch turns off the burner if the water  
flow is interrupted. If the water flow is restricted, the water  
pressure switch may prevent the burner from firing and  
cause the “Service System” light to go on. If the light  
remains on after the filter has been serviced, have a quali-  
fied service technician check the system.  
Verify proper operation of the water pressure switch at the  
start of every season and every six months thereafter by the  
following steps:  
For deck-level heater installations, the Pressure Switch is  
factory set at 3 psi. If the pressure switch is one to two feet  
below or one to five feet above the pool water level, reset  
the switch so that it is open when the pump is off and  
closed when the pump is running. Turn the star-wheel on  
1. Lower the thermostat setting to turn off the heater.  
2. Wait at least 15 minutes after the burner is off, and  
then turn off the filter pump.  
3. Turn up the thermostat as though to fire the burner.  
4. Wait one minute. The “Service System” light should go  
on but the burner should not fire and the blower should  
not start. If the blower or burner do start, or if the  
“Service System” light does not go on, there is a pres-  
sure switch malfunction. Immediately press the OFF but-  
ton on the operating control to turn the burner off and  
call a qualified service technician to check the system.

the pool) and counterclockwise (  
) to raise setting (heater below  
) to lower the setting  
(heater above the pool - see Figures 18 and 19). Test the  
switch after resetting.  
Live steam hazard. If the Burner and the  
Pump stop at the same time, wait at least 15 minutes  
before starting the filter pump to avoid severe damage to  
the heater.  
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE  
A pressure relief valve is not supplied with the heater.  
Some local codes may require installation of a pressure  
relief valve. If your local code requires a relief valve, install  
a 3/4” pressure relief valve complying with the ANSI/ASME  
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, having a capacity equal  
to the Btu/hr rating of the heater. The relief pressure of the  
valve MUST NOT EXCEED 50 PSI.  
FIGURE 18: Remove cover for access to Switch  
Raise Pressure  
A 3/4” NPT connection is provided in the manifold for  
installing a pressure relief valve. The relief valve must be  
installed vertically. To install the valve, use a 3/4” brass  
nipple and elbow, as illustrated in Figure 20. No valve is  
allowed to be placed between the manifold adapter and  
the relief valve.

To avoid water damage or scalding from operation of the  
relief valve, install a drain pipe in the outlet of the pressure  
relief valve that will direct water discharging from the  
valve to a safe place for disposal. Do not install any reduc-  
ing couplings or valves in the drain pipe. The drain pipe  
must be installed so as to allow complete drainage from  
the valve and drain line. The relief valve should be tested  
at least once a year by lifting the valve lever.

installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or main-  
tenance of the Combination Gas Control Valve can  
lead to fire or explosion, causing loss of life, per-  
sonal injury, or property damage.  
NOTICE: If you are using a slope gauge or a differ-  
ential pressure gauge of less than 3” capacity, close  
the shutoff valve of the gauge to avoid pulling the liq-  
uid out of the gauge when the blower starts.  
4. Disconnect the tube from the Gas Valve ‘VENT’ port.  
Connect it to a tube with a tee running to the high  
side of a differential pressure gauge and to the blow-  
er’s air orifice grille (See Figure 21, above).  
5. Turn on the heater and verify the gas supply pres-  
sure (Page 20).  
6. After the burner ignites, open the shutoff valve of the  
gauge. The pressure gauge should then read 0.2” wc  
0.1” wc (0.0” to 0.1” wc = rich mixture; 0.3” to 0.5”  
wc = lean mixture). (Since the pressure tap is con-  
nected to the low side of the gauge, the pressure is  
actually negative.)  
These instructions are for the use of qualified  
service technicians only!  
Do not attempt this procedure unless you have  
been trained and certified in the care and repair of  
gas-fired appliances!  
Do not attempt this procedure if the following  
instructions are confusing!  
This appliance is equipped with an unconventional gas  
control valve that is factory set with a manifold pressure  
of –.2” wc. Installation or service must be performed by  
a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.  
If this control valve is replaced, it must be replaced with  
an identical control.  
The combination gas valve incorporates dual shut-off  
valves and a negative-pressure regulator. For proper  
operation, the regulated pressure at the outlet manifold  
of the valve must be 0.2” wc below the reference pres-  
sure at the blower mixer inlet, and the gas valve ‘VENT’  
tap must be connected to the endcap air orifice as  
shown in Figure 21 (above).  
Do not attempt to adjust the gas input by adjusting the  
regulator setting. The correct gas regulator setting is  
required to maintain proper combustion and must not be  
altered.  
To check that the gas pressure setting is correct,  
use the following procedure:

GAS CONNECTIONS  
PRESSURE TESTING  
The heater requires a gas supply of not less than 4” wc and  
not more than 14” wc. Gas supply pressures outside of this  
range may result in improper burner operation. A minimum  
inlet pressure of 4” wc is required to maintain input rating.  
The gas supply must be installed in accordance with the  
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and all applicable  
local codes. Install a manual shut-off valve and a sediment  
trap and union located outside the heater jacket (Figure  
22). Do not use a restrictive gas cock.  
The following gas pipe sizes are recommended for natural  
gas supply piping. For low pressure LP gas, pipe size may  
be reduced by 1/4”, with a minimum pipe size of 3/4”.  
Check for compliance with local codes.  
Before operating the heater, the heater and its gas connec-  
tions must be leak tested. Test all gas connections for leaks  
with soapy water.  
Risk of fire or explosion. Do not use an open  
flame to test for leaks.  
The heater and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-  
nected from the gas supply piping system during any pres-  
sure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2  
psig (3.5 kPa).  
The heater must be isolated from the gas supply system by  
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pres-  
sure testing of the gas supply at test pressures equal to or  
less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).  
NOTICE: DO NOT use a corrugated flexible gas line to  
supply heater. It will not deliver enough gas (at nominal  
diameter) to supply heater.  
SUPPLYING POWER TO THE HEATER  
The heater requires a 120V/60Hz/1Ph power supply.  
Enclose the 120 Volt line to the heater in an approved flex-  
ible conduit connected directly to the junction box on the  
inside of the heater jacket.

6. The filter pump should run continuously when the  
heater is on, and for at least 15 minutes after the  
heater is off. Any switches in the pump circuit (includ-  
ing circuit breakers) that can disconnect the pump  
must also disconnect the heater.  
7. Do not wire single pole switches, including protective  
devices, into a grounded line. Observe hot/neutral  
polarity when connecting power to the heater.

Connect the hot lead of the power supply to the black  
wire, the neutral lead to the white wire, and the ground  
wire to the green wire (See Figure 23).  
A time clock controlling the filter pump should have a low-  
voltage Fireman’s Switch that switches off the heater at  
least 15 minutes before shutting off the pump.  
NOTICE: When using a timer and Fireman’s Switch, the  
heater’s power supply should come from the load side of  
the timer. The Fireman’s Switch completes the circuit for  
the low voltage safety switches. It DOES NOT get any  
power from the 115 volt power supply.  
Connect the Fireman’s switch to the heater as follows:  
1. Turn off power to heater at main circuit breaker panel.  
2. Unbolt and remove the upper jacket halves (see Figure  
3, Page 5).  
3. Open control box cover (see Figure 24).  
4. Remove the factory-installed jumper between the  
Fireman’s Switch terminals (see Figure 25).  
5. Connect the wires between the Fireman’s Switch termi-  
nals on the heater and those on the time clock using  
18 gauge wire with a minimum 3/64” thick insulation  
rated for a temperature rise of at least 105°C. Route the  
wires out through the knockout on the bottom of the  
Control Box. Use a 90° conduit el and conduit run out  
through the cutout on the Lower Enclosure, next to the  
Junction Box (see Figure 23).
