IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the 
following. 

 

1)  READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 

 

2)  To reduce the risk of injury. 

 
A)  The water in a pool or tub should never exceed 104°F (40°C). A water temperature in excess of 

104°F is considered unsafe for all persons.  Lower water temperatures are recommended for 
extended use (exceeding 10-15 minutes) and for young children.   

B)  Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the 

early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit pool or tub water 
temperatures to 100°F (38°C). 

C)  Before entering a pool or tub, the user should measure the water temperature at several occupant 

locations using an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating 
devices may vary as much as ± 5°F (± 3°C). 

D)  Alcohol, drugs or medications should not be used before or during pool or tub use since their use 

may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning. 

E)  Obese persons and persons with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, 

circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a pool or tub. 

F)  Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a pool or tub since some 

medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, 
and circulation. 

3)  SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 

 

---WARNING--- 

 DANGER OF HYPERTHERMIA 

 

Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above 
the normal body temperature of 98.6°F.  The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, 
drowsiness, lethargy and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.  The effects of hyperthermia 
include: 
 
a) Unawareness of impending hazard;  
b) Failure to perceive heat;  
c) Failure to recognize the need to exit pool or tub; 
 

d) Physical inability to exit pool or tub;  
e) Fetal damage in pregnant women;  
f ) Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of 

drowning. 

 

WARNING--- 

The use of alcohol, drugs or medications can greatly increase the risk of fatal 

hyperthermia in pools and tubs.

INTRODUCTION 
 

This manual provides installation procedures, 
operating and maintenance instructions and a parts list 
for the Coates Pool Heater. 
 
Your Coates Electric Swimming Pool Heater has been 
designed and engineered to provide you with the most 
progressive quality heating system possible.  Its 
operation is efficient and pollution-free.  Models are 
available for every size or make of pool. 
 
To insure a long life of trouble-free service, your 
Coates Pool Heater should be carefully installed in 
accordance with the instructions given in this manual.  
Failure to do so may damage the pool heater and the 
pool equipment to which it is connected.  Only 
qualified personnel should install and maintain this 
unit, and, of course, local plumbing and electrical 
codes have precedence over these instructions. 
 
 

1.0 DESCRIPTION

 

 
The Coates Swimming Pool Heater consists of a 
heating tank with external enclosure, and the electrical 
heating and control system.  In order to help maintain 
the heater in a satisfactory manner, a brief description 
of its components and their operation is included for 
the customer’s convenience. 
 
The pressure vessel and its enclosure comprise the 
main mechanical portion of the pool heater. 
 
The pressure vessel, in conjunction with the flow 
switch and heating element are the only portions of 
this equipment in contact with the water. 
 
The external enclosure is a sheet steel case totally 
enclosing the pressure vessel and electrical 
components.  The enclosure is coated with a rust 
inhibiting, powder coat finish.  
 
The electrical system, which is the heart of this unit, 
can be considered as three separate systems 
engineered to provide optimum use of energy.  They 
are as follows: 
 

(1)  

The heating elements

; mounted on a four-bolt 

flange.  There are 2, 3 or 4 elements. 
 
(2) 

The control system

; consists of the pilot switch, 

high limit thermostat, flow switch, temperature control, 
magnetic contactors, 240V transformer (480V units only) 
and sequencer (on some single phase units only).  
These controls are wired into a control circuit designed 
to control the temperature of the water leaving the 
heater.  The high-limit thermostat is designed to open 
the control circuit and cut off the power in the event of 
excessive temperature. 
 
A flow switch is built-in to prevent the pool heater from 
operating without water flow.   The flow switch will 
activate at flow rates of 20 GPM or greater. 
 
(3) 

The main current-carrying components

; are 

the contactors and fuses.  These are wired into circuits 
which carry the full amperage draw of the elements.  
The contactors open during a high temperature condition 
to de-energize the elements.   
 
The element fuses in these units are rated at 60 Amps 
and have an interrupting capacity of 100,000 Amps rms.  
These fuses provide supplemental circuit protection for 
the internal wiring of the heater. 
 
The heater has a temperature controller adjustable up to 
104°F(40°C) and has one manual reset type high 
temperature limit thermostat set at 118°F     (48°C).

LOCATION AND PLUMBING 

 

A.  

Installation: Location 

 
Coates swimming pool heaters are quiet, do not expel 
exhaust fumes, and may be conveniently located in a 
shed or basement.  Normal positioning of the pool 
heater should be in close proximity to the pool filtration 
system.  Select a location conveniently close to 
incoming electrical service and where excessively long 
piping runs are not required.

B.  

Installation: Plumbing

 

 
Pipe the heater as shown in Figure 2 to the inlet and 
outlet openings on the right side.  Connect the heater 
in line between the filter discharge and pool.  The 
water line coming from the filter should be connected 
to the heater 

inlet

, and the discharge line to the pool 

should be connected to the 

outlet

.  The pool will not 

heat properly unless it is plumbed correctly.  If plastic 
pipe is used, it should be suitable for at least 120°F 
(49 °C). 
 
A plumbing bypass around the pool heater is not 
necessary unless flow rate though the heater exceeds 
80 GPM.   A minimum flow rate of 20 GPM is required.  
Lack of sufficient flow will not allow the flow switch to 
activate the heater. 
 
It may be necessary, in larger Olympic-sized or public 
pools, to use two or more heaters to obtain sufficient 
KW capacity.  If so, the heaters must be placed in 
parallel, so that each heater takes equal flow. 
 
DRAINAGE:  A method of draining water away from 
the heater and other equipment is to be provided.  The 
heater should be flushed at the end of each swimming 
season.  During flushing or service, water may be 
spilled and could cause damage to the floor or other 
equipment.  A drain valve is to be installed in the 
INLET plumbing. 
 

3.0 ELECTRICAL 

INSTALLATION

 

 

1. 

Check nameplate rating to insure the heater 
matches your electrical supply. 

2. 

CHECK ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO ALL 
COMPONENTS

 within the heater for tightness.  

These can become loose during shipment and 
handling. 

3. Check components for any moisture, rust, or dust 

which may have accumulated during shipping, and 
clean or dry where necessary. 

 
All pool heaters covered in this manual have integral 
thermostats, transformers, contactors and sequencers 
where required. 
 
Wiring diagrams included show internal wiring and 
required field connections for various models.  Consult 
your local electrical code for proper wire and conduit 
sizes, and other local requirements. 
 
Do not connect the pool heater to, or operate at, a 
voltage other than the voltage rated on the nameplate. 
 
Bring wires of adequate size from a fused disconnect 
switch or circuit breaker with an ampere rating of 
125% of the ampere rating shown on heater 
nameplate.  Refer to Table 1 for wire sizes.  Connect 
power conductors to the power distribution block inside 

the heater.  All other internal connections are completed 
and tested at the factory. 

Ground wires must be insulated copper conductor and 
the same size as supply wiring, but not less than #12 
AWG.

A. 

To Connect Pool Heater to Power Supply

 

 
The pool heaters with load ratings over 48 Amps have 
branch supplemental fusing already installed in the 
element circuitry; see wiring diagrams.  To connect to 
the power supply, one needs only to protect the main 
supply lines, either with a circuit breaker or fused 
disconnect switch (Figure 1).  Suggested wire sizes are 
shown in Table 1. 

 

 

 

Figure 1

 

 
B.  

Startup Procedure: 

 
1.  Make sure that the pump is on and that there is at 

least 20 GPM flow through the pool heater.  The 
heating elements will fail prematurely if allowed to 
operate with insufficient water flow. 

 
2.  Check temperature control setting, also, examine 

wiring for loose connections, etc. 

 
3.   Turn on power at main disconnect switch. 
 
4.  Turn on pilot switch on pool heater. 
 
If the high temperature manual reset high limit switch 
shuts off the heater, disconnect power at disconnect 
switch and determine the cause before resetting.

LIMITED WARRANTY

 

 

The company extends this limited warranty to the original purchaser of a Coates Electric Pool Heater. 

 

Coates warrants the electrical components* and wiring (excluding enclosure, enclosure parts, knobs and accessories) in this 
new Pool Heater to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one (1) year from the provable date of purchase, 
or eighteen (18) months from date of factory shipment, whichever occurs first.  Coates further warrants the stainless steel 
water containment vessel to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two (2) years from the provable date of 
purchase or thirty (30) months from the factory shipment, whichever occurs first.  Enclosure, enclosure parts, knobs and 
accessories have no warranty whatsoever. 

 

*Exception: Factory installed heating elements are warranted for ninety 90 days from the date of heater installation, or 
eighteen (18) months from date of factory shipment, whichever occurs first. 

 

COATES will repair or replace at its option, defective component parts as explained above, during the warranty period 
provided such parts are returned to the factory, freight prepaid.  Factory authorization MUST BE OBTAINED under this 
warranty before returning such defective parts. 

 

Limited Warranty Does Not Cover 

 

1. 

New products purchased outside the United States of America and Canada. 

2. 

Uncrating, unpacking, set-up, installation and / or startup of this unit. 

3. 

Adjustments to controls normally operated by consumer, purchaser or installer. 

4. 

This limited warranty does not extend to any defect, malfunction or failure caused by, or resulting from improper 
service, maintenance or repair, abuse, neglect, accident, 

corrosion caused by improper water chemistry or by 

equipment that use salt to create a sanitizer

, lack of water, or any other cause beyond the control of Coates 

Heater Company, Inc. or to any product where the nameplate shall have been removed, altered, replaced, defaced or 
rendered illegible. 

5. 

This limited warranty is void if the Heater is used in a salt water system or under any extreme or unusual 

 

corrosive condition for which stainless steel metals would not be recommended. 

6. 

This limited warranty does not extend to the repair or replacement of defective components except at COATES or a 

 

service facility authorized by COATES 

 

IMPLIED WARRANTIES, WHEN APPLICABLE, SHALL COMMENCE UPON THE SAME DATE AS THE EXPRESS 
WARRANTY PROVIDED ABOVE, AND SHALL, EXCEPT FOR WARRANTIES OF TITLE, EXTEND ONLY FOR 
THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY.  SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW 
LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.  THE ONLY 
REMEDY PROVIDED TO YOU UNDER AN APPLICABLE IMPLIED WARRANTY AND THE EXPRESS 
WARRANTY SHALL BE THE REMEDY PROVIDED UNDER THE EXPRESS WARRANTY, SUBJECT TO THE 
TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED THEREIN. 

 

COATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES AND DAMAGES, UNDER 
THE EXPRESS WARRANTY, ANY APPLICABLE IMPLIED WARRANTY, OR CLAIMS FOR NEGLIGENCE, 
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS LIMITATION IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE 
STATE LAW. 

 

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL 
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. 

 

THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS 
WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
