NT Series
Pool and Spa Heaters
Congratulations on your purchase of a MiniMax NT high performance heating system. Proper installation
and service of your new heating system and correct chemical maintenance of the water will ensure years
of enjoyment. The MiniMax NT is a compact, lightweight, efficient, induced-draft, gas fired high
performance pool and spa heater that can be directly connected to schedule 40 PVC pipe. The MiniMax NT
also comes equipped with the Pentair multifunction temperature controller which shows, at a glance,
the proper functioning of the heater. All MiniMax NT heaters are designed with a direct ignition device,
HSI (hot-surface ignition), which eliminates the need for a standing pilot. The MiniMax NT requires an
external power source (120/240 VAC 60 Hz) to operate.
This instruction manual provides operating instructions, installation and service information for the
MiniMax NT high performance heater. The information in this manual applies to all MiniMax NT models.
It is very important that the owner/installer read and understand the section covering installation
instructions, and recognize the local and state codes before installing the MiniMax NT. History and
experience has shown that most heater damage is caused by improper installation practices.
