TROUBLESHOOTING
To verify that your heater is heating your pool, place your hand above the unit. Cool air will blow out of
the top of the heater, this occurs when the heating indicator is on. The water returning to the pool will be
between 3° to 5° warmer* than the overall pool water temperature. There will also be water draining out
of the base of the unit after 10 minutes of run time. *
depending on model, ambient conditions, and water flow rate.
If you believe your heater is not functioning properly, see the troubleshooting guide below.
If you are unable to resolve the issue, call our warranty service department at (941)505-1600.
