General Information
IMPORTANT WARNING:
The MegaTherm Model MT 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 warranty. Consult the factory before making
any modifications.
1A. Introduction
This manual provides information for the
installation and operation of Model MT Pool Boilers. It
is strongly recommended that all application and
installation procedures be reviewed completely before
proceeding with the installation. Consult the Pentair
Water Commercial Pool and Spa technical support
(see page 2), or your local representative, with any
problems or questions regarding this equipment.
Experience has shown that most operating problems
are caused by improper installation.
Model MT 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.
