"Clearance to each side of the center line extended above or below vent termination of furnace to: a dryer, water heater vent, or other appliances direct vent intake or exhaust is 12". Doesen't say anything about stand alone appliances such as pool heaters.0 -

It would be a mistake not to read the installation manual of the direct vent appliance you are trying to vent.
As far as I know you would have to consider that the pool heater has a fresh air intake and you would have to be at least 4' away0 -
AND
Also keep in mind that the exhaust from the DV appliance may have ugly effects on the pool heater's appearance, and eventually structurally.0 -

&Iguess my concern is the cross contamination from the pool heater to the boiler.The pool heater is two feet below the dv outlet0
