  1. You should attempt to locate the unit within 5' of the hot tub or pool.
  2. A top port connection and bottom port connection needs to be made into the pool or hot tub. These should be at least 18" apart from each other.
  3. Connect the Wood Fired Heater to the pool ports using 1 1/2" high temperature piping or flex hose.  Note: regular PVC pool pipe will get very soft under normal operating temperatures and should not be used.
