3G. Seasonal Care
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.
2. Shut off the main supply gas cock outside the
heater jacket.
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).
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.
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).
2. Tighten the drain plugs in the headers.
3. Clean the condensate drainage system and
condensate trap.
4. Replace the combustion air filter.
5. Uncover the vent grille.
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.
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.
3H-1. Owner Inspection
Teledyne Laars has designed and constructed the
Hi-E
2 heater to provide long performance life when
installed and operated properly under normal
conditions. The following basic guidelines should be
maintained:
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. Keep the pool heater area clean and free of all
combustible materials, gasoline and other liquids,
and vapors.
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.
4. Check for spider webs and other debris at the
combustion air inlet and vent outlet — especially
at spring start up.
