Installation for Thermosiphon
- You should attempt to locate the unit within 5' of the hot tub or pool.
- 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.
- 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.
