Re: Pool Heater clearance
OK

You have a flue pipe on a roof that is somewhat below and a few feet to the side of a dormer window (that was posted here somewhere)

Whats the difference. You have a vent from a pool heater that very well could be venting to the interior of a home. The vent is technically right outside a window. If the windows are open and the pool heater on then the likelyhood of the unit drafting into the home is there no matter what type of vent, natural or mechanincal.

I think it is one of those that needs no code but common sence.

Heater on, window open, open window sucks it inside to the sleeping baby!
