American Society of Mechanical Engineers safetycodes for controls and safety devices for automaticallyfired heaters No. CSD-1, and in Canada CGA 3.3.Any modification of the heater, its gas controls, gasorifices, wiring or drafter diverter may void the Laarswarranty. If field conditions require suchmodifications, consult factory.

1.2 Heater IdentificationConsult rating plate on the heating boiler. Shown

below is a breakdown of the model nomenclature.Laars commercial pool heating boilers are available intwo configurations: an indoor version and an outdoorversion. Outdoor models are not available in Canada.

1.3 Primary/Secondary Pump and PipingAll models are supplied with integrally mounted

pumps. The 1825 models use a 3/4 HP pump and allother models are supplied with 1/2 HP pumps. Thesepumps are sized for the pressure drop through the heatexchanger and through the bypass piping as shown inFigure 10.

Any deviations from the arrangement shown mayincrease the head on the pump, reduce flow and hinderperformance (see Section 2.7). For spas see Section3.9.

This piping arrangement and the integral pumpallow hot water to be recirculated to the heater inlet,thus raising the inlet temperature and greatly reducingcondensation.

1.4 CertificationsAll models are design-certified by AGA and

CGA for natural or propane gas and conform toASME Code requirement for 160 PSI water pressure.

1.5 Engineering AssistanceConsult the factory or distributor regarding any

questions or problems which arise in the specification,installation or operation of Laars equipment. Anexperienced engineering staff is ready to assist inassuring the proper performance and application ofLaars products.

SECTION 2.Installation2.1 Boiler Placement

The pool heating boiler must be placed toprovide specific clearances on all sides formaintenance and inspections. There must also beminimum distances maintained from combustiblesurfaces. These clearances also apply tononcombustible materials because the pool heatingboiler requires air circulation for proper operation.

The pool heating boiler should be mounted on alevel surface. An integral base for an installation oncombustible flooring is provided as standardequipment on outdoor models. For indoor models,special base rails part number 10539000 must be usedfor combustible flooring.

Do not install a pool heating boiler on carpeting.Under the national Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223.1, it is permissible to place the boiler on floorsother than noncombustible when the installationcomplies with the American Insurance Code. Figures2, 3, 4 and 5 show common installation oncombustible flooring.

2.2 Installation of Indoor BoilersLocate the pool heating boiler to provide

adequate clearance for inspection and service on allsides. See Table 1. For alcove installation, seeFigure 6.

Install indoor heaters on a waterproof floor withan adequate floor drain and a 6" (152mm) minimumcurb on all four sides to protect the building if heaterrepairs are required. The manufacturer will not beheld liable for any water damage in connectionwith this boiler.

2.2.1 Combustion Air SupplyThe heater location must provide sufficient air

supply for proper combustion and ventilation of thesurrounding area as outlined in the latest edition ofANSI standard Z223.1, and any local codes that maybe applicable. Inadequate combustion air supply mayresult in incomplete combustion, sooting of the heatexchanger, and unsafe operation of the boiler.

a. Conventional VentilationIn the United States, these requirements specify

that small boiler rooms should be provided with twopermanent air supply openings communicatingdirectly through the wall to outside air one within 12inches (305mm) of the ceiling, and the other within12 inches (305mm) of the floor. Each opening shouldhave a minimum free area of one square inch(6.5 sq. cm) per 4,000 BTU/hr input of the total inputrating of all appliances in the enclosed area. See Table2 for recommended air supply for each model. Animproperly ventilated equipment room can get

Figure 5. Installation on Concrete Blocks or Tile.

b. Forced-Air VentilationIn the United States: any equipment which

exhausts air from the boiler room can deplete thecombustion air supply or reverse the natural draftaction of the venting system. This could cause flueproducts to accumulate in the boiler room. Additionalair must be supplied to compensate for such exhaust.The information in Table 2 is not applicable ininstallations where exhaust fans or blowers of anytype are used. Such installations must be designed byqualified engineers.

In Canada: follow Canadian standard, CAN/CGA B-149 or local codes.

If a blower or fan is used to supply air to theboiler room, the installer should make sure it does notcreate drafts which could cause nuisance shutdowns ofthe pilot. If a blower is necessary to provide adequatecombustion air to the boiler, a suitable switch orinterlock must be wired into the heater control circuitto prevent the heater from firing unless the blower isoperating.

The boiler must be completely isolated andprotected from any source of corrosive chemical fumessuch as trichlorethylene, perchloroethylene, chlorine, etc.

2.2.2 VentingLaars boilers have built-in draft diverters for

natural draft operation and must not be connected toany portion of a mechanical draft system underpositive pressure. The flue outlet must be connected toa clear, unobstructed vent of adequate capacity endingabove the highest point of the building with anapproved vent cap. The venting system should beinstalled according to the latest edition of ANSIZ223.1 and/or, in Canada, CAN/CGA B-149 and anylocal codes having jurisdiction.

Do not weld or fasten the vent pipe to the boilerdrafthood. The weight of the stack must not rest on theboiler. The drafthood and boiler top must be easilyremovable for normal boiler service and inspection.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use sheet metalscrews at the snap lock joints of Type B gas vents.

Avoid using long horizontal runs of the ventpipe, and too many 90° elbows, reductions orrestrictions. Horizontal runs should have at least a1/4" (6mm) rise per foot in the direction of flow. Avent connector should be supported for the design andweight of the material used to maintain clearances andprevent physical damage and separation of joints.

Avoid terminating boiler vents near airconditioning or air supply fans. The fans can pick upexhausted flue products from the boiler and returnthem inside the building creating a possible healthhazard. A minimum of 4 feet (1.2m), in Canada 6 feet(1.8m), horizontal distance must be maintained fromelectrical meters, gas meters, and relief equipment.

ALCOVE INSTALLATION(ACCEPTABLE)

An alcove suitable for the installation ofa water heater is a restricted section ofa room not separated from the room bya door or partition and which meets theminimum clearances for the specificmodel water heater listed below.

LAARS HEATING SYSTEMSPage 6

Always use double-wall or insulated vent pipe(Type B or equivalent). In cold weather, uninsulatedoutside vents can chill the rising flue productsblocking the natural draft action of the ventingsystems. This can create a health hazard by spillingflue products in the boiler room.

Avoid oversized vent piping or extremely longruns of pipe which may cause excessive cooling andcondensation. Rule of Thumb: the total length of thevent, including the connector and any offset, shouldnot exceed 15 feet (4.6m) for every inch (25mm) ofvent diameter. Longer total lengths shown in ventingtables are based on maximum capacity, notcondensation factors.

When the installation of a draft fan is necessaryin connecting a venting system to a Laars boiler, theinstallation should be engineered by competentpersonnel following good engineering practices. Thedraft fan supplier should be consulted for correct size.The installation should be in accordance with thelatest edition of ANSI Z223.1 and/or, in Canada,CAN/CGA B-149 and any local codes havingjurisdiction. When a draft fan is installed, a suitabledraft switch must be wired into the boiler controlcircuit at terminal designated "Field Interlock" toprevent firing of the boiler unless a positive draft hasbeen established.

2.2.3 Common Venting SystemTest ProcedureAt the time of the removal of an existing heater,

the following steps shall be followed with eachappliance remaining connected to the common ventingsystem. During the testing of each unit, the otherappliances remaining connected to the commonventing system should not be operated.1. Seal any unused openings in the common

venting system.2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper

size and horizontal pitch. Determine that there isno blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion, orother deficiencies which could cause an unsafecondition.

3. Insofar as it is practical, close all building doorsand windows. Also close all doors between thespace in which the appliances remainingconnected to the common venting system arelocated and the other spaces of the building. Turnon any clothes dryer and any appliance notconnected to the common venting system. Turnon any exhaust fans, including range hoods andbathroom exhausts, so they will operate atmaximum speed. Do not operate a summerexhaust fan. Close all fireplace dampers.

4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected.Follow the lighting instructions for the unit.Adjust the thermostat so the appliance willoperate continuously.

5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief openingafter 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use theflame of a match or candle, or smoke from acigarette, cigar, or pipe.

6. After it has been determined that each applianceremaining connected to the common ventingsystem properly vents when tested as outlinedabove, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,fireplace dampers and any other gas-burningappliance to their previous condition of use.

7. Any improper operation of the common ventingsystem should be corrected so the installationconforms with the National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CGA B149,Installation Codes. When resizing any portion ofthe common venting system, the commonventing system should be resized to approach theminimum size as determined using theappropriate tables in Appendix G in the NationalFuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CGAB149 Installation Codes.

2.3 Installation of Outdoor Boilers(Not available in Canada)

1. Locate the boiler to provide the clearances aslisted in Table 1, “Minimum Boiler Clearances.”

2. Do not place the boiler in an enclosure or wallrecess. Avoid locations where wind deflectionoff structures might cause downdraft. When suchwind conditions are possible, place the heater atleast 3 feet (0.9m) from the structures.

3. Never install the boiler under any kind of roofoverhang. Do not place the boiler below oradjacent to any doors, windows, louvers, grills,etc., which connect in any way with an inhabitedarea of a building. This includes other structuressuch as garages or utility rooms (see Figure 7).

4. Although these models are CSA designedcertified for outdoor installations, suchinstallations are not recommended in areas wherethe danger of freezing exists unless properprecautions are taken for freeze protection.

Outdoor installations are not recommended inareas where the danger of snow blockage exists.

WARNINGLiquefied petroleum gas is heavier than air.Therefore, the pool heating boiler should not beinstalled in pits or other locations where gascould accumulate.

The boiler should be located a safe distance fromPropane gas storage and filling equipment. Consultlocal codes and fire protection authorities for adviceon specific installation restrictions.

2.4 Gas Supply and PipingReview the following instructions before

proceeding with the installation.1. Verify that the boiler is fitted for the proper type

of gas by checking the rating plate. Laars boilersare normally equipped to operate below a2000 foot (609.6m) altitude. Boilers equipped tooperate at higher altitudes have appropriatestickers or tags attached, also printed informationon rating plate.

2. Use the figures in Table 3 to provide adequategas piping from the gas meter to the boiler.

3. A sediment trap (drip leg) must be providedahead of the gas controls (see Figure 8). Amanual gas shutoff valve must also be providedfor service convenience and safety. Check thelocal codes.

6. The correct burner manifold gas pressure isstamped on the rating plate. The regulator ispreset at the factory and normally requires nofurther adjustment.The gas manifold and control assembly is

factory tested and conforms to the safe lighting andother performance criteria specified in the latesteditions of ANSI Z21.13.CSA4.9 Low Pressure BoilerStandard.

Before operating the boiler, the complete gassupply system and all connections must be tested forleaks using a soap solution. Do not use raw flame.

CautionSince some leak test solutions (including soapand water) may cause corrosion or stresscracking, the piping must be rinsed with waterafter testing, unless it has been determinedthat the leak test solution is noncorrosive.

2.5 Electrical Wiring

WARNINGThe boiler must be electrically grounded inaccordance with the most recent edition of theNational Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. InCanada, all electrical wiring to the boiler shouldbe in accordance with the latest edition of CSAC22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1. Do notrely on the gas or water piping to ground themetal parts of the boiler. Plastic pipe ordielectric unions often isolate the boilerelectrically. Service and maintenancepersonnel who work on or around the heatermay be standing on wet floors and could beelectrocuted by an ungrounded boiler.

Wiring diagrams are included in the informationpacket provided with each unit.

1. All Model AP pool heating boilers need 115V60Hz supply voltage unless specifically orderedotherwise.

2. The 1825 models are supplied with 3/4 HP pumpmotors rated at 115/230V, FLA 8.8/4.4. All othermodels are supplied with 1/2 HP pump motorsrated at 115/230V, FLA 5.8/2.9. Consult theNational Electrical Code or the CanadianElectrical Code regarding branch circuitrequirements for equipment with these motors.

The boiler and its individual shutoff valve mustbe disconnected from the gas supply pipingsystem during any pressure testing of that systemat test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).The boiler must be isolated from the gas supplypiping system by closing its individual manualgas shutoff valve during any pressure testing ofthe piping system at test pressures equal to orless than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

5. Provide gas supply pressure to the heater asfollows:

Natural Gas Propane GasIn. W.C. kPa In. W.C. kPa

Max. 10 2.5 14 3.4Min. 6.5 1.6 11 2.7

NOTE: the heater and all other gas appliances sharingthe boiler gas supply line must be firing at maximumcapacity to properly measure the inlet supply pressure.Low gas pressure could be an indication of anundersized gas meter and /or obstructed gas supplyline.

Mighty Therm Commercial Pool Heating Boiler Page 9

IMPORTANT NOTE: The pool filter pump andboiler must be electrically interlocked so the boilercannot come on unless the pump is running and thereis full flow in the filter piping where the boiler isconnected. If the pool filter pump operation isintermittent the boiler must be shut off prior to pumpshutdown. See paragraph heading Auxiliary TimeClock Wiring below. If the backwash operation ismanual the boiler must be shut off manually duringbackwashing.

Auxiliary Time Clock Wiring:If a time clock is used to control the filter pump

operation, a separate switch or relay must be used toshut off the boiler at least 15 minutes before the filterpump is shut off. Wire the switch or relay (often calledthe Fireman Switch) to the terminals shown in thewiring diagram as “Field Interlock.”

4. All field installed electrical safety devices and allfield installed controllers (valve end switches,draft switches, relays, timers) can be connectedto the boiler control to the terminals shown in thewiring diagram designated “Field Interlock.”

5. Field location of the temperature sensor isdescribed in Section 2.8.

Where the boiler is installed with a draft fan referto the fan manufacturer's wiring diagram. The draftswitch should be wired across the field interlockterminals in the boiler control panel.

2.6 General Piping InstructionsIn addition to the bypass valve “B” and outlet

valve “A” shown in Figures 10 and 11, an inlet valve“C” should be provided so that the heater can bereadily isolated for service. All valves should bebutterfly or ball style, not gate valves. For spasapplication see Section 3.9.

Figure 9. Pressure Relief Valve Location.

Since heater outlet temperatures can reach150°F (66°C) in some cases, copper or CPVC arerecommended materials for heater connection piping.PVC material may be used for the inlet valve and thepiping upstream of it.

When pipe, fittings, grids or any other element ofthe filter system are made of plastic materials, theymay be damaged by the momentary "back siphoning"of hot water from the heater when the filter pumpstops running.

The pressure relief valve installed in the tappedopening provided in the outlet header (see Figure 9),must be piped, but not connected, to a drain or floorsink. The drain pipe must be the same size as the valveoutlet and must pitch downward from the valve.Where no special setting of the relief valve is ordered,the factory will furnish a 75 psi setting.

The pressure relief valve lever must be tripped atleast once a year to insure that waterways are clean.When manually operating lever, water will dischargethrough the drain line. Precautions must be taken toavoid contact with hot water and water damage.

2.7 Boiler By-Pass PipingModel 500-1825 boilers do not have an internal

bypass valve and MUST BE PIPED AS SHOWN inFigures 10 and 11. For spas see Section 3.9.

All models are supplied with integral pumps,These pumps are sized for the pressure drop throughthe heat exchanger and through the bypass piping asshown in Figures 10 and 11.

Any deviations from the arrangement shownmay reduce flow, hinder performance, and will voidthe warranty.

2½ inch NPT piping is shown, however, models500I-1430I and models 500E-1010E may be installedusing 2 inch NPT piping.

All models must be installed in the parallelarrangement shown. The "secondary" or boiler pipingmust tee into the filter piping with the inlet and outletconnection spaced a maximum of 18" (450mm) apart(see Figure 11).

To insure that pool inlet water does not exceed104°F, the filter pump loop must circulate at theminimum flow rates shown in Table 4.

The outlet valve “A” and the bypass valve “B”must have a provision for locking the handles in place(or removing them) after the temperature rise and inlettemperature adjustments have been made.

2.8 Temperature Sensor Placementand InstallationA temperature sensor with 15 feet (5m) of cable

and an immersion well assembly are supplied with theboiler. These must be installed in the field. Refer toFigures 10 through 12.

1. The immersion well body is provided with a 1/2"NPT. Mount the immersion well on theunderside of the filter circulation piping, justupstream of the boiler inlet tee as close to theboiler as possible (see Figure 11). DO NOTINSTALL in secondary piping or downstreamof the boiler inlet tee.

2. Thread the spring and retainer onto the sensorcable and secure sensor into the immersion well.

3. Route cable to heater control panel in a locationwhere it will not be subject to damage. Securewith nylon cable ties.

2.9 Automatic ChlorinatorsA concentration of chlorine in the heater can be

very destructive, therefor the following rules about theinstallation and operation of such devices must befollowed:

1. The chlorinator should be installed so itintroduces the gas or solution downstream fromthe boiler.

2. The chlorinator should be wired so it cannotoperate unless the filter pump is running.

3. The chlorinator should be provided with an anti-siphon device so that the draining of the pipingafter the pump shuts off will not siphon chlorinesolution into the boiler.

4. When the operation of a chlorinator is such thatit must be installed in the pump suction, or someother place where the chlorine solution flowsthrough the heater, corrosion of the heater canoccur. Excessive concentrations of chlorinecaused by improper adjustment or failure of thechlorination equipment cause this corrosion. Theresulting damage to the heat exchanger is notcovered by heater warranty.

SECTION 3.Operation3.1 Controls - General

(see Figures 12 and 13)1. Electronic Ignition Controls:

a. Intermittent Ignition:

Pilots are automatically lit when theoperating control calls for heat (Systems #4and #9). The unit performs its own safetycheck and opens the main valves only afterthe pilot is proven to be lit. Whenever the

pilot flame is interrupted, the main gasvalve closes within 0.8 seconds.

b. Electronically Supervised Standing PilotSystem (System #16):

When pilot flame fails, the ignition controlmodule responds in less than 0.8 secondsand provides 100% safety shutdown.

2. Operating Controls:An electronic temperature control is provided onmodel AP boilers to control the pool watertemperature. The temperature sensor (thermistor)is located in the filter circulation piping (seeSection 2.8).

3. Boiler Power (On/Off/Auto) Switch:This provides for constant or automatic pumpoperation.

4. High Limit Controls:The manual reset high limit switch is provided asstandard equipment on all boilers. Thetemperature sensing bulb of the switch is alwayslocated in the heater outlet. Burners willautomatically shut down whenever overheatingof water occurs.

5. Flow Switch:Standard on all AP pool heating boilers. Theswitch is mounted in a tee fitting on the outletheader. This is a paddle type switch which isdeflected by the water flow in the fitting. Anycondition which interrupts or decreases the flow

LAARS HEATING SYSTEMSPage 12

through the secondary loop will shut down theburners.

6. Low Water Cut Off (optional):The low water cut off automatically shuts offboiler whenever water level in the heatexchanger drops below probe level. It is locatedin the inlet header.

3.2 Initial Start-Up

WARNING

Do not use this appliance if any part has beenunder water. Immediately call a qualifiedservice technician to inspect the heater. thepossible damage to a flooded appliance can beextensive and present numerous safetyhazards. Any appliance that has been underwater must be replaced.

On a newly constructed pool, be sure to run thefilter pump long enough for a complete “turn-over” ofthe pool water before starting heater so that dirt andresidue from construction will have been removed.The filter may clog rapidly during this period, causingsevere cycling of the heater.

1. Before placing the heater in operation, be certainthat the heater is filled with water and that all airis purged from the system. Open all the valves inthe secondary piping.

2. With the filter pump running, run the heaterpump in manual “CONSTANT PUMP” forminimum of 10 minutes and listen for the flowswitch to make as the pump is started. Loosenthe pipe plug on the top of the pump scrollcasting to bleed off any air. NOTE: If the systemwill be operated in a manner that causes air to bedrawn into the heater and the secondary piping,an automatic float type air vent should bepermanently installed on top of the pump scroll.

3. To check the heater firing, proceed as follows:

a. Turn off the power switch.

b. Turn off all manual gas valves and waitfive minutes (Figure 14).

c. Set operating control to the lowest setting.

d. After placing the manual pilot gas valve inthe open position and resetting all safetydevices (high limit, low water cutoff, etc.),the pilot(s) can be lit following theprocedure on the heater rating plate.

e. For standing pilot system, press on pilotrelay knob (see Figure 16), light pilot andkeep relay knob depressed for one minute

then release. Once the pilot is lit, turnpower switch to “AUTO PUMP.”

f. Wait 5 minutes and turn up operatingcontrol until heater fires (for intermittentignition system, the pilot will be ignitedautomatically). The main burners shouldignite smoothly. Turn the operating controlback to the lowest setting.

NOTE: DO NOT OPERATE HEATER UNTILTHE FOLLOWING SAFETY CHECKS HAVEBEEN PERFORMED.

3.3 Safety Shutoff Component Checkout1. Once the pilot(s) is lit and has been established

for five minutes, the flame failure response timeshould be checked as follows:

Systems 4 and 9 - (intermittent ignition). With thissystem pilots are automatically lit when the operatingcontrols call for heat. If the pilot flame fails for anyreason, the main valve is shut off within one secondand the pilot spark ignition is initiated until the pilotflame has been reestablished. This sequence should bechecked by turning off the manual pilot gas valve (seeFigure 15), and, at the same time, monitoring theaudible sparking at the pilot burner and signalinterruption to the main valve.

CautionPropane gas is heavier than air and sinks tothe ground. Exercise extreme care in lightingthe heater when so equipped.

System 16 - (electronically supervised standing pilotsystem). Extinguish the pilot flame by placing themanual pilot valve in the closed positions (seeFigure 15), and at the same time, begin recording thetime it takes for the output signal from the electronicignition control to be interrupted. The signalinterruption can be detected either with a test light or avoltmeter. The response time should never exceed onesecond.2. Hi-Limit Checkout. For spas see Section 3.9. The

manual reset high limit is factory preset to 150°F(66°C). Confirm this set point on the unit andadjust if necessary. After running the heater in afiring mode for 10 minutes, slowly close theoutlet valve “A” to raise the outlet temperature asindicated on the outlet thermometer. The highlimit should trip within 2°F (1°C) or 3°F (2°C) ofthe 150°F (66°C) setpoint and shut off theburners. If this does not occur, adjust the setpoint on the unit to shut off the burners when theoutlet thermometer reads 150°F (66°C). Open theoutlet valve “A” and push the reset button. Themain burners should reignite.

3. Flow Switch: See attached vendor literature.4. Low Water Cutoff (optional): See attached

vendor literature.

3.4 Inlet Temperature and TemperatureRise AdjustmentFor proper operation the bypass and outlet valves

must be adjusted to obtain the correct heatertemperature rise and the correct inlet temperature.Please refer to Table 5 which shows these values foreach model. Refer to Section 1.2 and the heaternameplate to determine the model number of yourheater. Inlet and outlet thermometers are provided onthe unit. For spas see Section 3.9.

1. Make sure that the heater has been firing for atleast 10 minutes and that the operating control isset at 5° or 10°F (3° or 6°C) above the pooltemperature.

2. Throttling the OUTLET valve “A” will raise theinlet temperature. Throttling both the OUTLETvalve and the BYPASS valve “B” will increasethe total rise across the heater. Severaladjustments will be necessary to obtain BOTHthe correct temperature rise and the correct inlettemperature. Wait about 5 minutes betweenadjustments for the unit to stabilize.

3. After both temperatures have been set, lock thehandles on the valves or remove the handles toprevent tampering with or accidental changes tothe valve positions.

4. When the pool has reached the desired operatingtemperature check the temperatures again andadjust if necessary. NOTE: The heater outlettemperature should not exceed 140°F (60°C).Reduce heater temp rise if necessary.

POOL OPERATING CONTROL ADJUSTMENT:5. Adjustable Differential Feature: Remove the

cover from the control box and verify that thewhite differential potentiometer is set at about2°F (1°C). NOTE: a 2°F differential means that,if the thermostat is set at 80°F, the heater willcome on at 78°F and go off when the poolreaches 80°F. The 2°F value is a good startingpoint for most installations. This differential maybe adjusted up or down to suit individualapplications.

6. The operating control temperature setting can beadjusted incrementally to obtain the desired pooloperating temperature.

7. An adjustable pump time delay relay is mountedin the control panel (see Figure 12). This relaykeeps the pump running after the burners shutoff. The delay should be set to 5-6 minutes formodels 500-850 and 9-10 minutes for models1010-1825.

3.5 Heater Shut Down1. If heater is firing, turn operating control to

lowest value, wait 10 minutes for pump to stoprunning, then turn power switch to off.

2. If heater is not firing, turn power switch to off.

3.6 Spring and Fall OperationStand-by ServiceTurn the thermostat down to approximately

70°F (21°C). This will prevent the pool andsurrounding ground from becoming chilled and alsopermit the pool to be raised to swimming temperaturein a shorter time.

A pool may be maintained at a lower temperaturethan 70°F (21°C) with some increased likelihood ofcondensation and damage to the unit. Models 500through 1010 will maintain an inlet temperature of85°F (29°C) to 90°F (32°C) (if the bypass is properlyadjusted) with a pool temperature of 60°F (16°C).Models 1200 and 1430 can maintain the above with apool temperature of 65°F (18°C). For models 1670and 1825 pool temperature should be maintained at70°F (21°C) or above. See item 3 in the next section.

Table 5. Temperature Settings.

3.7 Winter OperationComplete Shutdown

1. To shut down the heater for periods of severalmonths or more, turn manual main gas valve andpilot gas valve to "OFF." Where danger offreezing does not exist, some water should flowthrough the heater during the normal filter cycleall year long, even when the heater is turned offor shut down completely, if all bypass valves areopened.

2. If the heater is not protected from freezingtemperatures, it should be completely drainedbefore the first frost. Drain the heater byremoving the drain plug on the bottom of thefront header casting. Leave the plug out untilready to use the heater again. Heater must belevel to permit adequate draining. Whencompressed air is used to blow out lines, it is stillnecessary to follow the above procedure.Keeping the pool heated and the filter pumprunning continuously will not be adequateprotection. If there is a pump failure or anelectrical power failure, the boiler cannot fireand may freeze and be damaged.

3. Improper Use of Heater: The Laars PoolHeating Boiler is not designed for continuous useas an "anti-freezing" device for pools. Operatingthe heater with low water temperatures willcause the fins on the heat exchanger to bepartially blocked with condensation. Incompletecombustion and prolonged operation under theseconditions will result in the heat exchangersooting up. This can seriously damage the heaterand may create a dangerous fire hazard.

3.8 Time Clock OperationDuring the warm-up period, the heater must run

continuously so it can raise the pool temperature fromcold to above 70°F (21°C).

Remove all time clock stops and permit theheater to raise pool temperature to 70°F (21°C) orabove in one continuous operation.

When the time clock stops are replaced, be sureto allow the filter pump and the heater to stay on longenough to keep the pool up to the desired temperature.

3.9 Therapeutic Pools (Spas)Therapeutic pools or "spa" pools are usually

piped and controlled so that very warm or hot water,often with air injection, is forced at high velocity intoa confined area of a swimming pool or into a smallseparate pool. For the purposes of this manual, anyapplication in which the water temperature ismaintained above 85°F (30°C) is considered a spa.SPECIAL SET-UP AND OPERATINGPROCEDURES APPLY TO SPAS.1. Models 1010I and 1010E and larger should not

be used for spas due to their higher temperaturerises.

2. Since outlet temperatures can approach 140°F(60°C) units must be piped in a secondary,parallel loop similar to that shown in Figure 10.The bypass line between the inlet and outlet canbe deleted or, if it is installed, the BYPASS valveshould be closed with the handle removed.

3. To insure that the spa inlet water does not exceed104°F (40°C), the spa filter pump must circulateat the minimum flow rates shown in Table 6.

Boiler Model Minimum Filter Pump Flow Rate

500 220 GPM

600 270 GPM

715 320 GPM

850 380 GPM

Table 6. Minimum Filter Pump Flow Rates For Spas.Note: Maximum Spa Temperature Is

Assumed To Be 100°F (38°C).

4. The high limit stop should be changed to 140°F(60°C). The set point should then be checkedfollowing the procedure in 3C-2.

5. Use the outlet valve “A” to set the temperaturerise as shown in Table 5. Note there should be nobypass piping or flow in these installations.

6. Spas are excellent for relaxation, body-conditioning and for arthritic and rheumaticproblems, but can be hazardous. The ConsumerProduct Safety Commission has recommendedthe following "Safety Rules for Hot Tubs:"a. Spa or hot tub water temperature should

never exceed 104°F (40°C). A temperatureof 100°F (38°C) is considered safe for ahealthy adult. Special caution is suggestedfor young children.

*ADD this number to pool temperature (TPOOL) to get desired inlettemperature (TINLET). i.e., for 500 E: If pool temperature is 65°F (18°C),inlet thermometer should read 95°F (35°C). Field adjustmenttolerance +_1°F (.5°C).

Mighty Therm Commercial Pool Heating Boiler Page 15

b. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before orduring spa or hot tub use can causedrowsiness which could lead tounconsciousness and subsequently result indrowning.

c. Pregnant women beware! Soaking in waterabove 102°F (39°C) can cause fetal damageduring the first three months of pregnancy(resulting in the birth of a brain-damaged ordeformed child). Pregnant women shouldstick to the 100°F (38°C) maximum rule.

d. Before entering the spa or hot tub, usersshould check the water temperature with anaccurate thermometer; spa or hot tubthermostats may err in regulating watertemperatures by as much as four degreesFahrenheit (2.2°C).

Pilot ResetSwitch

e. Persons with a medical history of heartdisease, circulatory problems, diabetes orblood pressure problems should obtain theirphysician's advice before using spas or hottubs.

f. Persons taking medications which inducedrowsiness, such as tranquilizers,antihistamines or anticoagulants, should notuse spas or hot tubs.

SECTION 4.Maintenance1. Lubricate the pump seal every 6 months with

½ oz. of SAE 30 non-detergent oil. Slowly addto pump oil cup located on top of the bearingbracket.

2. At start-up and every six (6) months thereafter,the pilot and main burner flame should beobserved for proper performance (see Figure 17).See attached lighting and shut-down instructionsfor proper pilot flame pattern. If flame has theappearance of "sooting" tips, check for debrisnear orifices and call the Laars ServiceDepartment.

3. Inspect the venting system for obstruction,leakage and corrosion at least once each year.

4. Keep heater area clear and free from combustiblematerial, gasoline and other flammable vaporsand liquids (see Table 1 for minimumclearances).

5. Be certain all combustion air and ventilationopenings in the room are unobstructed.

6. Check for fouling on the external surfaces of theheat exchanger every six months. (NOTE: afterinstallation and first start-up, check the heatexchanger for fouling after the following periodsof operation: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 daysand once every six months thereafter.)Fouling on the external surfaces of the heatexchanger is caused by incomplete combustionand is a sign of combustion air and/or ventingproblems. As soon as any fouling is observed,the cause of the fouling should be corrected (seeSection 5, Troubleshooting Guide). The heatexchanger can be checked with a flashlight bylocating a mirror under the burners. An alternatemethod is to remove the venting and top panelsas necessary to inspect the heat exchanger fromabove. Also check the vent system for defects atthis time. (If cleaning is required, shut off allelectrical and gas supply to the heater.)

7. To expose the heat exchanger:Indoor Models: Remove the flue pipe, top ofunit, rear upper jacket, flue collector rear paneland heat exchanger baffles.

Outdoor Models: Remove vent top assembly,rear upper jacket, flue collector rear panel andheat exchanger baffles.

8. To remove all burners:It is usually more convenient to remove theburner tray assembly. Disconnect sensor wire,ignition cable (or thermocouple generator) andpilot gas line. Disconnect manifold inlet union(s).Remove the four (4) retaining screws. Grasp themanifold pipe and slide out the burner tray.

CautionBlack carbon or green soot on a dirty heatexchanger can, under certain conditions, beignited by a random spark or open flame. Toprevent this unlikely occurrence, dampen thesoot deposits with wet brush or fine waterspray before servicing or cleaning the heatexchanger.

9. Clean heat exchanger using a wire brush toremove soot and loose scale from the unit. Cleanfallen debris from bottom of heater. Make sureburner ports are clear and pilot assembly is freeof debris.

10. Reassemble in reverse order and be sure the heatexchanger baffles are replaced.

11. The gas and electric controls installed on theheater are engineered for both dependableoperation and long life, but the properfunctioning of these components is necessary forsafe operation of the heater. It is stronglyrecommended that the basic items be checked bya competent serviceman every year and replacedwhen necessary. The basic controls are:

a. Water temperature controls.

b. Pilot safety system.

c. Automatic electric gas valve(s)

d. Flow switch.

12. Low water cutoffs should be inspected every six(6) months, when provided.

NOTE: The warranty does not cover anydamage caused by lack of required maintenanceor improper operating practices.

13. Pool Water Chemistry

The mineral content of the pool water increasesevery day. This is due to the natural evaporationwhich removes only distilled water and leaves theminerals behind. The regular addition of algicidaland sanitizing chemicals also adds greatly to themineral content of the pool. If the concentration ofminerals in the pool is permitted to become too

Figure 17. Main Burner Flame Pattern.

high, the minerals will precipitate out of the waterand deposit onto the walls of the pool, in the filterand in the tubes of the heat exchanger.

For this reason it is very advantageous to drainthe pool regularly (at least every two years). Thisprecautionary measure will save the cost ofexpensive repairs to the finish, filter system andheater.

Another important safety precaution - alwayskeep the pH of the pool water between 7.3 and7.7. This will add years to the life of the poolfinish, filter system and heater.

Most algicidal and sanitizing chemicals containsodium hypochlorite, while others containcalcium hypochlorite. Sodium is not a scalingchemical but calcium is. When using calciumhypochlorite it is especially important tofrequently check the pH of the pool and tochange the pool water when the dissolved solidsindicate an excessive mineral content.

SECTION 5.Troubleshooting

For proper service and problem diagnosis of theheater and heater system, the following tools arerequired:

a. Gas pressure test kit with range from zero to 14W.C. Either a slack tube manometer or anaccurate gas pressure gauge is acceptable withproper adapters to connect to the availablefittings in the line and on the gas valve.

b. Multi-meter with the following ranges:

0 to 500 volts A.C.

0 to 1000 ohms continuity.

0 to 50 millivolts.

c. Tube cleaning kit consisting of reamer, stainlesssteel brush, speed handle and handle extensions.

d. A pool thermometer with a proper range.

e. A pressure gauge with proper range.
