5. On indoor heater, clean room intake openings to
assure adequate flow of combustion and ventilation air.
CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated
by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the
heater and void the warranty.
6. Keep air around heater clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
and corrosive vapors and liquids.
BASIC TIPS IF HEATER WILL NOT FIRE:
1. If you have no electrical power, it may be your
circuit breakers" have tripped. Try re-setting them.
2. If you have electrical power but the heater will not
fire check the following:
3. The time clock must be moved to the "ON" position.
4. Your pump strainer basket may be full. If so remove
debris.
5. Your filter may be dirty. If so, backwash or clean filter.
(To tell if your filter is dirty, the gauge pressure will
be higher than usual).
6. The pump may have lost it's prime. It may be
running dry, check the pressure gauge on the filter.
If there is no pressure; then you are not moving
water (or your gauge is broken). Try to get the pump
to run at it's normal flow rate.
POOL & SPA WATER CHEMISTRY
Chemical imbalance can cause severe damage to
your heater and associated equipment. Maintain your
water chemistry according to the chart on page 2. If the
mineral content and dissolved solids in the water become
too high, scale forms inside the heat exchanger tubes,
reducing heater efficiency and also damaging the heater,
If the pH drops below 7.2, the heater will be severely
damaged. This will result in corrosion of the heat
exchanger. Heat exchanger damage resulting from
chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty.
When heaters installed outdoors in freezing climate
areas are to be shut down for the winter, observe the
following step-by-step procedure:
1. Turn off gas valve, manual gas valve, and electrical
supply to the heater.
2. Open drain cock located on the inlet/outlet header,
(under water pipes).
3. Disconnect compression fittings from the pressure
switch and return header that connect to the 1/4"
copper tube and allow the tube to drain.
SECTION 1/RECEIVING EQUIPMENT
On receipt of your equipment it is suggested that you
visually check for external damage to the carton. If the
carton is damaged, a note should be made on the Bill of
Lading when signing for equipment. Remove the heater
from the carton and if it is damaged, report the damage
to the carrier immediately.
On occasion, we ship some items loose. Be sure
that you receive the number of packages indicated on
the Bill of Lading.
When ordering parts, you must specify model and
serial number of heater. When ordering under warranty
conditions, you must also specify date of installation.
Raypak recommends that this manual be reviewed
thoroughly before installing your Raypak pool/spa heater.
If there are any questions that this manual does not
answer, please contact the factory or your local Raypak
representative.
SECTION 2/GENERAL SPECIFICATION
These heaters are design certified and tested under
the requirements of ANSI Z21.56/CSA 4.7 American
National Standard/CSA Standard for Gas-Fired Pool
Heaters.
All heaters are inter-changeable and can be used
either indoor or outdoors. The appropriate top desig-
nated for that type of use is required. If desired, the top
can be changed at a late date to change from outdoor to
indoor or vice versa.
Rated inputs suitable for up to 2000 feet elevation.
For elevations above 2000 feet, reduce input 4% for each
1000 feet above sea level, as height elevation reduces
combustion performance.
