General Information 1.1 Introduction This manual provides information for the installation and operation of MegaTherm model MT pool heating boilers. It is strongly recommended that all application and installation procedures be reviewed completely before proceeding with the installation. Consult Pentair Commercial Pool and Spa, or your local sales representative, with any problems or questions regarding this equipment. Experience has shown that most problems are caused by improper installation, not system design. Some accessory items are shipped in separate packages. Verify receipt of all packages listed on the packing slip. Inspect everything for possible damage upon delivery, and inform the carrier of any shortages or impairments. 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. The warranty does not apply to heaters not installed or operated in accordance with these procedures. Consult local building and safety codes before proceeding with work. The installation must conform to the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code; ANSI Z223.1, National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70. In Canada, the installation must conform with the latest edition of CSA-B149.1 requirements. When required by the authority having jurisdiction, the installation must conform to Figure 1. Heater Identification (model nomenclature). WARNING The MegaTherm model MT commercial pool heating boiler must be used on potable water only. For heating pools containing salt water, a specially equipped heater must be used; consult your distributor or factory representative. The pool heating boiler must be installed in accordance with the procedures MODEL MT-POOL REVISION P-PUMP (U.S.) Q-PUMP (CAN) HEAT EXCHANGER C-GLASS LINED/COPPER N-GLASS LINES/CU-NI K-BRONZE/COPPER S-BRONZE/CU-NI VERSION 1 - 8 TUBE B-10 TUBE I-INDOOR E-OUTDOOR FUEL N-NATURAL P-PROPANE IGNITION 04-SPARK 110V 09-SPARK 24V 11-SPARK 24V 16-STND.

Any modification of the heater, its gas controls, gas orifices, wiring or drafter diverter may void the warranty. If field conditions require such modifications, consult factory. 1.2 Heater Identification Consult rating plate on the heating boiler. Shown below is a breakdown of the model nomenclature. Commercial pool heating boilers are available in two configurations: an indoor version and an outdoor version. Outdoor models are not available in Canada. 1.3 Primary/Secondary Pump and Piping All models are supplied with integrally mounted pumps. The 1825 models use a 3/4 HP pump and all other models are supplied with 1/2 HP pumps. These pumps are sized for the pressure drop through the heat exchanger and through the bypass piping as shown in Figure 10. Any deviations from the arrangement shown may increase the head on the pump, reduce flow and hinder performance (see Section 2.7). For spas see Section 3.9. This piping arrangement and the integral pump allow hot water to be recirculated to the heater inlet, thus raising the inlet temperature and greatly reducing condensation. 1.4 Certifications All models are design-certified by CSA for natural or propane gas and conform to ASME Code requirement for 160 PSI water pressure. 1.5 Engineering Assistance Consult the factory or distributor regarding any questions or problems which arise in the specification, installation or operation of this equipment. An experienced engineering staff is ready to assist in assuring the proper performance and application of this products. Pentair Water Commercial Pool and Spa Page 4 SECTION 2. Installation 2.1 Boiler Placement The pool heating boiler must be placed to provide specific clearances on all sides for maintenance and inspections. There must also be minimum distances maintained from combustible surfaces. These clearances also apply to noncombustible materials because the pool heating boiler requires air circulation for proper operation. The pool heating boiler should be mounted on a level surface. An integral base for an installation on combustible flooring is provided as standard equipment on outdoor models. For indoor models, special base rails part number 10539000 must be used for 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 floors other than noncombustible when the installation complies with the American Insurance Code. Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 show common installation on combustible flooring. 2.2 Installation of Indoor Boilers Locate the pool heating boiler to provide adequate clearance for inspection and service on all sides. See Table 1. For alcove installation, see Figure 6. Install indoor heaters on a waterproof floor with an adequate floor drain and a 6" (152mm) minimum curb on all four sides to protect the building if heater repairs are required. The manufacturer will not be held liable for any water damage in connection with this boiler. 2.2.1 Combustion Air Supply The heater location must provide sufficient air supply for proper combustion and ventilation of the surrounding area as outlined in the latest edition of ANSI standard Z223.1, and any local codes that may be applicable. Inadequate combustion air supply may result in incomplete combustion, sooting of the heat exchanger, and unsafe operation of the boiler. a. Conventional Ventilation In the United States, the most common of these requirements specify that boiler rooms should be provided with two permanent air supply openings communicating directly through the wall to outside air one within 12 inches (305mm) of the ceiling, and the other within 12 inches (305mm) of the floor. Each opening should have a minimum free area of one square inch (6.5 sq. cm) per 4,000 BTU/hr input of the total input rating of all appliances in the enclosed area. See Table 2 for recommended air supply for each model.
