TIP: Drilling a 1/8 in diameter hole first will help prevent thread damage.
• Turn off the electrical power to the heater.
• Turn off the main gas supply to the heater.
• If the heater has been operating, ensure you allow
enough time for remaining water in the heat
exchanger to cool down before beginning. It is
recommended that protective gloves be worn during
the entire procedure.
• Make sure the lter pump is off and will remain off
for the duration of the installation procedure.
• If the heater is below the surface level of the water in
the pool or spa, close all shut-off valves between the
heater and the pool.
