damage, or death. For indoor installations, as an additional measure of safety, Jandy Pool
Products, Inc. strongly recommends installation of suitable Carbon Monoxide detectors in
the vicinity of this appliance and in any adjacent occupied spaces. Improper installation
and/or operation will void the warranty.

CAUTION
The water pressure switch should be adjusted to turn
the heater off when the pump is off. Setting the
switch to close at too low of a flow can damage the
appliance. Adjust the switch to turn the heater off,

The pressure switch is preset at the factory for
activation at 2 psi (14 kPa). However, it is adjustable
in the range of 0.5 psi to 15 psi. Adjust the pressure
