SECTION II - Combustion Air and

Venting

Combustion Air Contamination

If the PERFORMANCE PLUS combus-

tion air inlet is located in any area likely

to cause or contain contamination, or if

products, which would contaminate the

air cannot be removed, the combustion

air must be repiped and terminated to an

outside location. Contaminated combus-

tion air will damage the unit and its

b u r n e r system, resulting in possible

severe personal injury, death or substan-

tial property damage.

Do not operate a PERFORMANCE

PLUS if its combustion air inlet is taken

inside in a laundry room or pool facility.

These areas will always contain haz-

ardous contaminants.

Pool chemicals, laundry products, com-

mon household cleaners and hobby

products often contain fluorine or chlo-

rine compounds. When these chemicals

pass through the burner and vent sys-

tem, they can form strong acids. These

acids can create corrosion of the outer

tank, burner components and vent sys-

tem, causing serious damage and pre-

senting a possible threat of flue gas

spillage or water leakage into the sur-

rounding area.

Please read the information listed below.

If contaminating chemicals are located

near the location of the combustion air

inlet, the installer should pipe the com-

bustion air inlet to an outside area per

SECTION VI of this installation manual.
