    Rheem / Raypak 406A Gas Pressure Issues - Fixed, Now Will Not Start

    We have a shut off valve at the unit. First thing up from the ground on the incoming gas line. Any advice on getting a unit for a good price whether it be Raypak/Rheem or Pentair?

    If I have to have the gas piping rerouted, then I might as well have the PVC rerouted as well. I suppose this means I am not married to the 406A and that I will be getting a pro to do it. I have removed the tree that was above the old unit. However, I still have a lot of trees around. Debris...

    The second regulator I mentioned in my initial post. I had misinterpreted the manual. I am going to remove it. Regarding the flex pipe, looks like I will need to hire a plumber to hard pipe from the regulator to the valve and add a drip leg. Thank you!

    The yellow flex pipe was installed by the plumber who installed the larger regulator.

    Here are the requested photos. SWG is on the outlet between the heater and the pool.

    I will take pics of the unit tomorrow. I was planning on replacing in-kind so I can use the old one for parts. Also, I would like to avoid rerouting gas and water lines. I have used pucks in the skimmers for various purposes whether it be chlorinating or managing PH. I don't really use them...

    Got it and I appreciate everyone's prompt and thorough assistance. This seems to be the best price on a new unit; Royal Pool Raypak 406A. Anyone have leads on a lower price? Thank you!

    I installed new burners but understand that conditions in the boiler will produce this issue again. I had a salt system installed 1 or 2 years after this heater was installed. I just ran the ground to the rod serving the pool. Same result. Not firing.

    Any ideas on why the unit is not seeing the pilot? Valve is fine, control board is fine, ground is fine.

    i am only getting 6.5" wc because I installed a second regulator you cannot see. I am going to remove this regulator. I will replace the vent limiter on the regulator you can see with a protector. The gas meter was replaced when the gas company rebuilt our line. I have other gas appliances...

    I have a digital manometer. I have only used the port at the inlet side of the valve. There is no other reference port to which I can connect before the valve. I only have 1 port connected. Am I measuring correctly?

    OK, this is very helpful, thank you everyone. I misread the manual on the 4" wc being the regulator at the valve. 14" wc is correct for the supply. As a quick fix, I adjusted the pressure to 6.5" wc and it is still not firing up.I will adjust to 10.5" wc this evening. I acknowledge and...
