Heater cabinet shows rust streaks and corrosion around the base

Structural note: Surface rust can be treated, but ongoing moisture must be corrected.

• Inspect for leaks: Check inside the cabinet for any water leaks from plumbing or the heat exchanger.
• Improve drainage: Ensure the heater pad slopes away from the unit and that rainwater does not pool around the base.
• Relocate chemicals: Do not store chlorine or acid containers near the SmartPool heater; fumes accelerate corrosion.
• Treat rust: Lightly sand affected areas and apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint rated for outdoor metal.
