HANDLING: Always lift the unit from the bottom. Never try to lift by the top plate. While on the pallet, use a pallet jack or lift truck to move. After removing from pallet, a two- wheeler may be used on the side of the unit opposite the manifold cover box, left side facing the front of the unit.
 

INSTALLING: Place the unit three feet from existing buildings or obstructions. Do Not put unit in any enclosure (leave outside).
Pick a good location for your heater.
DO NOT install in any enclosure, unit must stay outside.
Recommendations:

• Any place close to your pump/filter is the best.

• Heater needs to sit on a concrete or brick foundation. 36" square or larger.

• Can be installed as close as 2-3 feet from your pool pump and filter, without causing a heat problem.

• Can be installed next to the house. Check with all local codes before doing this type of install. Be careful that no sparks or embers are coming out of the chimney. If you see any with your first burn, get a spark arrestor on the pipe before burning again.

• Can be installed up to 20-30 feet away from your pump, by running the water pipes underground to & from the heater.

This allows you to have your heater in a separate area of the yard, insulating those pipes will help to prevent heat loss underground.

Multiple installation example

ASSEMBLY: Inside the unit, you will find a 24" piece of 6" stove pipe with crimping on both ends. One end of the pipe has a small ring at the end of the crimping. Install this end in the stove, put the cap on the other end and position the temperature indicator approximately halfway up the pipe.
 

PLUMBING: The unit has two positions labeled INLET & OUTLET. These are 1-1/2" schedule 40 PVC Pipe "Glue type Fittings". Cut into the pool’s return line after it leaves the filter and run pipe to Inlet position. Then, run pipe from Outlet position back to remaining segment of pool’s return line.
We recommend that you install on 1-1/2" PVC Tee. If you use a tee in this position, it will make it easier to winterize the unit. Install a drain plug in the bottom of each tee & simply remove these plugs to winterize. (see winterize instructions below) You may experience back-pressure on your pressure gauge at the filter after installing the unit. If so, installation of a bypass line and valve will eliminate the problem. If this is necessary, open the valve just enough to relieve the back-pressure.
The wood heater is designed to be plumbed into your existing pool water piping and equipment. Always install any automatic chlorination device AFTER the wood heater, so that you never send pool chemicals directly into the heater.

WINTERIZE: Remove drain plugs on bottom of the Tees at the Inlet and Outlet positions, blow compressed air into the outlet position tee until all water quits coming out of inlet position tee.
