Thanks everyone! I will look more into the rats nest and check the gas. One additional clue since it seems to be progressing. When I turn on the heater, the LED for "HEATER" takes a long time to come on - like 10 seconds. When the unit worked, that light came on right away. After that light...

No error codes. Just the "service heater" led comes back on. Only LED 11 is lit.

If by air orifice, you mean a plastic grate that is around 3-4 inches in diameter, that is black. A bit of progress - it doesn't seem to be seizing up anymore - it spins freely. It now seems to make all the right sounds and comes on for about a second, then stops and has the "service heater"...

I got the "service heater" light and the AFS led is on. The blower does not run at all and it seems that it is getting pretty warm. When I turn on the heater it makes a low volume humming, nothing else. I had a problem with rats and changed out all the wiring which I checked over several...

Does this mean that an installer locks down the programming and you can't reprogram it without calling the installer?

Hi, I am planning on updating my 1.5HP motor for one of the variable speed motors. i am thinking of either the - Pentair Intelliflo - Jacuzzi J-VSP250 (has a 5 year warrantee and cheap installation) Details of my current set up are in my sig. I want to also use the Jandy Aqualink controller...

Resolved! Ok, that was annoying... As suggested, I verified the heater was working by disconnecting the controller I kept pressing the heater button on the controller and nothing happened (e.g. no red light, no clicking sound) Rather than just turning off the heater circuit breaker, I...

Thanks for the help! 1. I am pretty sure that the temperature sensor is okay since the reading on the pool is reasonable, and when I turned on the solar heating, I saw that the temperature was slowing rising. 2. Also, the odd thing is that when I tried turning on the heater from the indoor...

Hi, Just tried to start up my STA-RITE MAX-E heater which worked last year...this year it doesn't. I had rats chew some wires and fixed those. I looked all over and believe I got all of them repaired. Here is what happens: 1. At the Jandy controller, I turn on the filter (works fine, as...

Thanks everyone! I have only had this pool for 10 years before I figured realized that it would be better with the cover off ;) Although my excuse is that earlier, our kids were young, so there was a real benefit for having the cover on all day...and we do have solar, so that got the temp where...

Oh, how I wish I found this site years ago! It is great. After struggling with a high alkalinity, low PH, pool for too long, I found this site and learned a lot (aeration for the win!) and am now happily balanced. Thank you!

I really appreciate this site. I had an issue with a pool with high alkalinity (200) but low PH (6.8). I was going crazy trying to get it in sync....oh and spending too much time and money on soda ash, then acid, then soda ash, then acid.... Then I found this site and aeration and the better...

Hi, I have a dark blue vinyl pool cover that is on the pool at night. (electrically operated, so easy to open and close). The pool is in-ground about 20x40. The question is if it is a hot day outside (90 degrees plus) should I have that cover on or off if I want to heat the pool? On the one...
