INST 318 HINRG HEATER ā V01-18
MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that you check the following at least every six months and at the beginning of every swimming season.
1. Examine the flue outlet and panel louvers for blockages. Make sure there are no obstructions to the flow of air to or from the
appliance.
2. Keep the heater area clear and free of combustibles and flammable liquids. Chlorine should not be stored in the vicinity of the
heater. Chlorine and acid vapours, when drawn through a heater, can rapidly cause corrosion of the heat exchanger.
3. Keep the heater area free from garden refuse and debris. This will help prevent insects nesting in the unit and ensure extended
life and reliability of your heater.
4. Have your heater professionally inspected at least every 2 years or when used daily for 6 months each year, have it inspected
once a year.
WINTER OPERATION
If the pool is not being used for a month or more, turn the heater off at the main gas isolation valve. For areas where there is no
danger of freezing, water should circulate through your heater all year long even though you are not heating your pool.
It is necessary to drain the water from the heater where freezing is possible. This may be done by loosening the inlet or outlet barrel
union. If the heater is below water level, isolate it from the pool first by closing shut off valves before and after the heater.
CAUTION: If the heater has been drained for freezing conditions, do not turn on until the system is circulating water

Levelling of the Heater
With OUTDOOR Installations it is advisable to have the Heater Level from left to right across the heater and have it slightly
angled(approx. 5 degress) to the rear to help with drainage of the Flue from water after rain.
FLOW RATES
The HiNRG Pool Heater requires a minimum of 120 litres per minute (7.2 m3/hr) and a maximum flow rate of 500 litres per minute
(30 m3/hr). It is recommended that an external bypass valve capable of bypassing some water be installed when flow rates exceed
375 litres per minute (22.5 m3/hr).
WATER CONNECTIONS
The heater should always be installed after the pump and filter. The water connections are located on the right hand side of the
heater. The inlet and outlet are clearly marked. Water connections require 50 mm high pressure PVC glue-in plumbing. It is
recommended that Class 12 (PN12) pipe be used to connect to the heater.
