Condensing Pool Heater Genie S
Gas Safety (Installation and Use)
Regulations, (as amended).
It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by
a competent person (e.g. a Registered operative) in
accordance with the above Regulations. Failure to
install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution.
It is in your own interest, and that of safety, to ensure
that the law is complied with. The installation of the
Heater MUST also be in accordance with the cur-
rent I.E.T. Wiring Regulations, the Local Building
Regulations, Building Standards (Scotland), the Bye
Laws of the Local Water Undertaking, any relevant
requirements of the Local Authority.
Detailed recommendations are contained in the fol-
lowing British Standard Codes of Practice.
Codes of Practice.
BS.6798 Installation of gas fi red hot water boilers of
rated input not exceeding 70kW.
BS.5440: Part1 and Part 2. Flues (for gas appliances
of rated input not exceeding 70kW).
BS 6891 Specifi cation for installation of low pressure
gas pipework.

IMPORTANT.
No external control devices should be directly con-
nected to this appliance - unless covered by these
‘Installation and Servicing Instructions’ or otherwise
recommended by the manufacturer. If in doubt,
please enquire.
Any direct connection of a control device not
recommended by the manufacturer could infringe
the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations, the
above regulations and the normal appliance war-
ranty.
Manufacturer’s notes must NOT be taken, in any
way, as overriding statutory obligations.
Location of Heater
The Heater MUST be installed on a fl at and level
fl oor, capable of adequately supporting the weight of
the Heater and any ancillary equipment.
Provision is provided for the heater to be fi xed to the
fl oor.
It is IP 44 Rated and can be installed out of doors in
a suitable position. In all cases the choice of position
should take into account the fl ue, the plume and the
condensate drainage.
INTRODUCTION
These Instructions cover a range of indirect, fl oor
mounted, gas fi red, condensing pool heaters which
are room sealed and fan assisted. The fl ue system
available is concentric, left, right, rear, and vertical,
all up to 20 metres ‘FEL’. There is also an Outdoor
Top terminal for use where the Heater is installed
out of doors. The ignition system is fully automatic.
There are three models with diff erent outputs - see
the Technical Data on Inside Cover for details.
These models can be installed in multiples to obtain
a larger, combined output.
The casing is of green and black polyester powder
coated mild steel. The Heaters use a high perform-
ance Cupro Nickel heat exchanger and are suitable
for connection to pools using chlorinated and salt
chlorinated water provided the following levels of
chemicals are maintained.
pH 7.2 to 7.8
Total Alkalinity 80 to 140 ppm
Calcium Hardness 200 to 400 ppm
Salt maximum 30000 ppm
Free Chlorine 1 to 4 ppm
All chemicals must be introduced and completely
diluted into the pool water before being circulated
through a fi ring heater. Do not place chlorine tablets
or bromine sticks in the skimmer, high chemical con-
centrations will result when the pump is not operat-
ing. Turn the Heater off when shock dosing
Chlorinators must feed downstream of the heater
and have an anti-siphoning device to prevent chemi-
cal back-up into the heater when the pump is shut
off .
High chemical concentrates from feeders
and chlorinators that are out of adjustment
will cause corrosion to the heat exchanger
inside the appliance. Such damage is
not covered under the warranty.
