ETi 250 High Efficiency Pool and Spa Heater Installation and User’s Guide

All plumbing on multiple ETi
®
250 heater installations must be done in parallel. See Figure 15 and Figure 16.
To prevent heater overheating and to ensure heater longevity, water flow to each heater must be balanced for
optimum operation. To meet recommended ow rates, be sure all installed pipes are installed in accordance with local
and state codes or, in the absence of local codes, with all applicable codes and industry plumbing standards. To allow for
proper operation and service clearance, maintain spacing to adjacent heaters. Heaters installed too close to one another
may encounter operational issues associated with exhaust and/or condensation.
