CONNECTIONS 2" CPVC Adapters All Models LOCATION The heater requires water flow and pressure to operate properly. It must therefore be installed downstream of the discharge side of the filter pump. A typical installation is plumbed as follows: 1. The inlet side of the filter is plumbed to the discharge side of the filter pump.

055, 105 & 155 Models WARNING ELECTRICAL (ELECTRONIC IGNITION IID) HIGH VOLTAGE For qualified Technicians ONLY NOTE: This heater is equipped with an ignition module that shuts off pilot gas if pilot START fails to light after the third attempt. This is identified by the green LED flashing on the ignition module.

ELECTRICAL (SOLID STATE THERMOSTAT IID) 055, 105 & 155 Models If the pool/spa water is too cold, troubleshoot the system as follows: Check voltage at 24 V terminals. VOLTAGE BETWEEN 21.5-28.5 V. VOLTAGE OUTSIDE RANGE 21.5-28.5 V. Set control to max. temperature. After 2-3 Check transformer, 23•20 V supply, correct as necessary.If 230 V side of transformer is open circuit, cycles, check water temperature.
