⚠️ Critical Safety Warnings

CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD: Indoor installations must utilize proper Category I or III venting. Failure to provide adequate combustion air (250 sq. in.) can result in fatal CO poisoning.
EXPLOSION RISK: If you smell gas, immediately shut off the main gas valve. Do not attempt to light any appliance or touch any electrical switch. Contact a qualified gas supplier or fire department immediately.
SCALDING RISK: High-limit switches are safety devices. Do not bypass or jumper these controls. Ensure the thermostat is set to a safe temperature (max 104°F for pools).
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE: Never exceed 50 PSI water pressure. Use an external bypass if flow exceeds 120 GPM to prevent internal heat exchanger erosion.
💡 Pro-Tips for Success
  • Winterization: Always drain the heat exchanger completely in freezing climates using the side drain plug to prevent cracked headers.
  • Chemical Balance: Maintain pH between 7.2–7.8. Corrosive water will void the warranty on copper heat exchangers.
  • Standard NG SKU: 460732 | Standard LP SKU: 460733.
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED: This product must be installed and serviced by a professional service technician qualified in pool heater installation. Improper installation can result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to fire, electric shock, or chemical hazards.
WARRANTY LIMITATION: Warranty coverage is strictly limited to units installed by licensed professionals. Self-installation may void all manufacturer warranties. Refer to the [Pentair Limited Warranty Policy](https://www.pentair.com) for full details.
DATA ACCURACY: All specifications are sourced from [Pentair MasterTemp Technical Documentation](https://www.pentair.com). Dimensions and weights are approximate and subject to change without notice. Always verify local building codes regarding gas line sizing and venting.
