The blower draws air and fuel through specially designed orifices, delivering a precise mixture to the burner,
located inside the sealed combustion chamber. Water flows through the heat exchanger, which surrounds the
burner transferring the heat to the water. Exhaust gases are then directed through a duct where it is vented to
the atmosphere.
1.2 Important Safety Instructions
The heater is designed and manufactured to provide many years of safe and reliable service when installed,
operated, and maintained according to the information in this manual and the installation codes referred to
throughout. Be sure to read and comply with all warnings and cautions.
WARNING
Improper installation or maintenance can cause nausea or asphyxiation from carbon monoxide in flue gases which could result in severe injury, or
death. For indoor installations, as an additional measure of safety, Zodiac Pool Systems LLC strongly recommends the installation of suitable Carbon
Monoxide detectors in the vicinity of this appliance and in any adjacent occupied spaces.
WARNING
The following “Safety Rules for Hot Tubs”, recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, should be observed
when using the spa:
• Spa or hot tub water temperature should never exceed 104°F (40°C). One hundred degrees Fahrenheit (100°F [38°C]) is considered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is
recommended for young children.
• The drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness which could lead to unconsciousness, and subsequently result in drowning.
• Pregnant women take note! Soaking in water above 102°F (38.5°C) can cause fetal damage during the first three (3) months of pregnancy (which could result in the birth
of a brain-damaged or deformed child). If pregnant women are going to use a spa or hot tub, they should make sure the water temperature is below 100°F (38°C) maximum.
• The water temperature should always be checked with an accurate thermometer before entering a spa or hot tub. Temperature controls may vary by as much as 1°F (1°C).
• Persons with a medical history of heart disease, diabetes, circulatory or blood pressure problems should consult their physician before using a hot tub or spa.
• Persons taking any medication which induces drowsiness (e.g., tranquilizers, antihistamines, or anticoagulants) should not use spas or hot tubs.
WARNING
Prolonged immersion in hot water can induce hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal body temperature reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C).
Symptoms include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal body temperature. The effects of hyperthermia include:
• Lack of awareness of impending hazard
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize need to leave spa
• Physical inability to leave spa
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning
