Installation Information
Installation requires access to the heater's inlet/outlet header and internal bypass components.
Before servicing:
- Disconnect electrical power
- Shut off the gas supply
- Turn off the circulation pump
- Allow the heater to cool
- Relieve water pressure
- Drain the heater as required
Inspect the header, bypass components, seals, O-rings, and surrounding parts during replacement. Any damaged or deteriorated sealing components should be replaced before the heater is returned to operation.
Professional installation by a qualified pool-heater service technician is recommended.
Confirm Before Ordering
