- Connect the outlet side of the heater to the spa's return line.
- Ensure the pressure switch (part number 30408) is correctly installed in the designated port, typically on the heater manifold, and properly tightened to prevent leaks.
Refer to your spa's plumbing diagram for specific connection points. A typical plumbing diagram would illustrate the heater's position relative to the pump, filter, and spa jets, showing the flow path and the location of the pressure switch.
4. Connexions elèctriques
PRECAUCIÓ: All electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician. Incorrect wiring can cause severe damage to the heater, spa, and pose a serious safety hazard.

Instruccions de funcionament
1. Inici inicial
- After completing all plumbing and electrical connections, fill the spa with water to the recommended level.
- Bleed all air from the plumbing system by running the spa pump on high speed for several minutes. Ensure a steady flow of water through the heater.
- Turn on the main power supply to the spa at the circuit breaker.
- Set the desired temperature on your spa's control panel. The heater will activate automatically when the water temperature falls below the set point and the circulation pump is running.
2. Funcionament normal
The Balboa Water Group 50067 heater operates in conjunction with your spa's control system. It will cycle on and off as needed to maintain the set water temperature. The integrated pressure switch ensures the heater only operates when there is adequate water flow, preventing dry-fire conditions.
The heater is equipped with an overheat protection feature. If the water temperature inside the heater tube exceeds a safe limit, the overheat protection will trip, shutting off the heater. This is a safety measure to prevent damage. Refer to the Troubleshooting section if this occurs.
Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your spa heater.
- Química de l'aigua: Maintain proper spa water chemistry (pH, alkalinity, sanitizer levels) as recommended by your spa manufacturer. Improper water chemistry can lead to scale buildup or corrosion within the heater element and tube.
- Caudal: Ensure the spa pump and filter are clean and operating correctly to maintain adequate water flow through the heater. Reduced flow can cause the pressure switch to trip or lead to inefficient heating.
- Inspecció visual: Periodically inspect the heater for any signs of leaks, corrosion, or damaged wiring. Address any issues promptly.
- Hivernització: If you live in a climate where the spa will be shut down for winter, ensure the heater is completely drained of water to prevent freezing and damage. Consult your spa's winterization guide for detailed instructions.
