6.3 Water Pressure Switch Adjustment.
The water pressure switch is inside the heater jacket on
the water connection side See Section 1.8, item “f”.
The switch is preset at the factory. The pressure switch
setting must be adjusted If the heater is installed:
• Below the surface level of the pool
• More than two feet above the pool level
• Where the pressure is measured at 1 psi or greater
with the lter pump off
Location of the heater above or below the pool water surface
can also affect the operation of the switch. The factory
installed switch can accommodate elevations of 6 feet above
the pool water surface or 11 feet below the pool water surface.
If the heater water connections are outside this range Consult
your local Zodiac
®
representative for recommendations.
• Set the heater control to “OFF”.
• Remove seven screws securing the side panel to the
heater body.
• Remove the side panel to gain access to the water
pressure switch. See Figure 14.
• Turn the lter pump on and conrm that the pressure
switch closes with a voltmeter.
• If the switch does not close, check that all valves are
open to the heater and that there are no restrictions in
the line. You may also need to conrm ow rate from
your pump as outlined in Section 5.1.
