General Information
1A. Introduction
This manual contains information for the proper
installation and operation of the Hi-E
2 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.
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
intermittent ignition.
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-E
2 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.
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.
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.
WARNING
Improper installation or servicing can cause
property damage, injury or death due to fire,
asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning.

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.
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

In Canada, install the heater in accordance with
local codes and the most recent edition of the

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.
