General Information
IMPORTANT WARNING:
The Model AP commercial pool boilers must be
used with potable water only. For pools
containing salt water, a specially equipped
boiler must be used. Consult your distributor or
factory representative. The pool boiler must be
installed in accordance with the procedures in
this manual, or the warranty could be voided.
Consult local building codes and ANSI bulletin
Z223.1 or in Canada CAN1-B149 before
proceeding with the installation. Any
modification to the boiler, its gas controls, gas
orifices, wiring or draft diverter may void the
Laars warranty. Consult the factory before
making any modifications.
1A. Introduction
This manual provides information for the
installation and operation of Laars Model AP Pool
Boilers. It is strongly recommended that all
application and installation procedures be reviewed
completely before proceeding with the installation.
Consult the Laars factory, or local factory
representative, with any problems or questions
regarding this equipment. Experience has shown that
most operating problems are caused by improper
installation.
Series AP boilers are offered in two
configurations: an indoor version and an outdoor
version. The indoor version is convertible for outdoor
use with the installation of a conversion kit as
described in Section 6 of this manual. The two
configurations are shown in Figure 1.
Some accessory items are shipped in separate
packages. Verify receipt of all packages listed on the
packing slip. Inspect everything for damage
immediately upon delivery, and advise the carrier of
any shortages or damage. Any such claims should be
filed with the carrier. The carrier, not the shipper, is
responsible for shortages and damage to the shipment
whether visible or concealed.
