Raypak came back with a part number of 003899F. Got many hits on that number, prices vary from $186.00 to way freaking high. Pool Supply Unlimited seemed to have the best price, though I never dealt with them before. Thanks again for your help. b

Thanks James. The sig is wrong so I will fix that. Here is a pic of what's in the heater, it looks much different then the Honeywell. http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0092009/photos/28747330@N05/5923833675/ I will call Raypak in the morning to get more info. Thanks again..

Well it looks like the valve maybe bad. So I have the following part numbers; The manual has 7000 derhc and crossing a number on a yellow sticker I get a 7000 bmvr-s7c-lp. Does this look right to the experts out there? The heater is a Raypak P-R335A-MP. I can really use some help here guys...

Pushed and twisted... Still stops about half way..

Happy 4th too all! So I decided to finally light the pilot on the heater so we could warm up the spa. Little problem with that, the knob will maybe only go half way to the pilot position. I had to work it back and forth a few time to get it to go that far. I'm good at forcing things and that...

Ok, got the filter empty and all cleaned out. (wet vac rocks for this). Laterals are also out. I had tried removing the sand plug hoping to speed things along. Well it turned but never did want to come out. Tried tightening also and while it seems to get a little snug it is not what I would call...

Hi guys, quick question. I'm going to be replacing the lateral's on my filter and was wondering if there are any seals or gaskets I should consider replacing while I have things apart.. Just wanna be prepared while it's apart.. Thanks in advance B Also Just installed an Ecostar over the...

Thanks guys, it's all better now. So this got me to wondering, is there any type of pressure switch/monitor that can be set for a range of pressures. If the pressure falls below or goes above the set values it shuts the pump off. I was thinking about designing something, figuring if there is...

Well it came off anyway. Coming off the top of the multi port valve. There is a gray threaded piece into the multport and a fitting on the other side which the 90 was connected. Well it came clean off at the fitting end. Not sure how it was fastened but the joints were both very clean. I'm...

I just automated my pump with a Z-wave hook up. Basically I'm using a Z-wave outlet in a external enclosure. That switch a 24v power adapter that controls a relay which turns the pump on r off. It's wired in before the mechanical timer and I just leave the on/off thingys on the timer off. This...

Glad to hear about Pool Supply World, I ordered an Ecostar from them earlier this week.. Cool!

Well it's past the light and it's still going down. I'm going to start pumping it out this afternoon and also going to try and get the cover off. So either my bottom drain/return line is shot or there is a crack someplace. That I'll know once the cover is off. My question is, what are the...

The valves to the main drain are closed and the way I have the plumbing plugged there is no way water can get back to the waste outlet. I don't know what's up. I really hope it's just at the light box. I would think I would see some wet soggy earth with all that water coming out in a week...

Hi guys, I think I have a problem. Looked out today and it looks like there is a foot less water in the pool then this time last week. It's already down below all the side plugs and approaching the top of the light housing. It's seems to be dry everywhere above ground so I don't know what to...

Stopped in at a local supply store today (Aqua Specialists). Gave them the part number for the Adapter by Polaris. Dude comes out with a different adapter that threaded to both pieces perfectly. Out the door for 12 bucks... 8-)
