Do I need a fireman’s switch?

  • A fireman’s switch is a device installed in a time clock. It turns the heater on 30 minutes after the circulation pump goes on and turns the heater off 30 minutes before the circulation pump goes off. This allows the water to cool down and not damage the plumbing lines. ALL Hayward heaters have Fire Tile, which dissipates the heat immediately, so a fireman’s switch is not required. 
  • NOTE: Gas-fired heaters should be diagnosed and repaired by trained personnel.
