Yes, I appreciate that but I would like to try replacing the Bulb for $30 first before I go for unit replacement and 50 ft of chord for $400. So should that bulb be changeable?

Hi, I'm having trouble replacing the bulb in my SPA light. I assume the bulb can be replaced but I have not been able to remove the bulb from the recepticle. It seems to have a gasket but I have not been able to remove it. I am attaching a few photos. Can someone tell from the model if the...

All is well and you all were right about the Algae. My doubting days are over! I cleaned the filter grids and now pressure is steady at 8 lbs while Wet Willy runs around the pool like a sprinter. I am adding liquid CL and will treat the high TA with muriatic acid tonight. CL 2.0, pH 7.8, TA...

Drain/Fill is complete. Drain 26 hrs (1/3 hp Drummond submersible pump from Harbor Freight) Fill - 12 hrs (4 bibs from house) First tests show CL 0, PH 8.2, TA 160. ( as per K-1004) It will be later today before I can start the filter after I clean it out. I have not ordered the TFT100 yet, I...

My water is clear which is what I started out to do so that is an accomplishment but I did that by constant backwashing. Due to the backwashing, the water level is already down a few inches which will help with a water change as next step. So, drain/refill. proavia, what is splashout? I'll be...

Good, thanks for the lesson. I don't have recirc option or I don't know how to do it with my MPV valve. I would like to do this if I can, much easier. There may be another way to bypass but pipe labels are sunburnt off. Yes, I believe in Science/Chem along with KISS principle. So if I change...

duraleigh - Something in the line that is drawn in but does not backwash out then retreats at backwash. I have taken out the motor to the pump and found some plastic debris in the impeller and the diffuser was cracked. I removed the debris and swapped the cracked diffuser with the one from the...

I had my water tested at Leslies, the results are below. I just shocked the pool 2 days ago before changing the filter grids with 2 bags of Leslies pool shock. I last changed water in May, 2013. My last measurements before shock treatment were pH 7.2, TA 120 at pool Temp of 72 degF (K-1004). I...

Thanks for your reply. My pool is pebbletec 14-16000 gallons. I use a Taylor K-1004 Pool Test Kit.

HI, I have a perplexing issue with my DE60 Filter. The pressure starts at 16 lbs and my pool vacuum runs fine. The pressure rises to over 35-40 lbs over the course of an hour and the pool vac stops moving. The suction at the vacuum inlet is at Max as measured with my spring pressure device...

I calculate 148 Cu Ft for 1,108 gallons. Manual indicates 77 min to raise 1000 gals 30 deg. So that would be about 84 min for 1108 gals. I timed 50 min for 15 deg so it is not that far off. I was watching the Olympics also. I'll time it again another time.

Thanks. When looking at an Electric Spa Heater, I'm led to believe it needs a dedicated 60 Amp circuit. I have two-30 amps and a 15 going to the pools equipment platform. Anyway, I picked up a H250PED2 and installed it over the weekend. The Spa heated from 90 to 104 in 50 minutes. I can live...

Yea. I have to agree. I'm giving it up on this unit. Unofficial quotes for replacement (Installed) H400 - $3800, H250 - $3000, Electric $1200 + 60 amp run (up to $900). I'm only going to heat the Spa because I have never had desire or need to heat the pool. Before I go new, one more try. I...

Service Tech then Lead Tech came onsite but no fix. Lead tech took the hood off and inspected the heat exchanger. It looked OK to me but he says the flame may be starved for oxygen and is flaming out. So as was predicted here previously, he is suggesting that I replace the 14 year old unit...

I called in a Hayward Service Tech from local Pool Company. Service call scheduled for today.

Still working it. No resolution but I was able to eliminate the Flame Sensor loop as the problem. I moved my rectification test to the heater and was able to introduce a current to the sensor circuit. I did several tests, one of which was a steady 6.4 uA to the sensor on the control board...

I would agree that you got all the luck because I haven't been able to find any lately! How is your heater running? Btw, the 4 digits in your serial number after the number in (paren) gives you the YYMM of manufacture.

I'm still stuck at the the unit cycling through the startup. It fires for four (4) seconds each time then throws IF error code. It has been suggested from other sources that it could due to water flow bypassing the heat exchanger or interruption in the Safety Loop. I still think it is due to...

Yea, If I call a service Tech I expect to stay with them and call Hayward. The Hayward Tech gave me his personal extension for the service tech to call after I told him I did not expect much more from the service rep other than what I have accomplished with help from this you and this board...

I set up a bench test for the FS and it works as it is supposed to. I re-checked the Gas vale pressures and confirmed previous readings. Since then I have found a Service Guide (http://www.haywardnet.com/pdfs/uhs-heater-troubleshooting-guide.pdf) and have completed all steps for error code IF...

I really don't want to mess with the gas pressure so given your concern about it also I will skip that even though Hayward TEchsupport suggested that. As far as cleaning the new FS, I figure no harm in that since I already own it. I bought it used, "like new" and it certainly looked unused...

I received some spec data from my inquiry to Hayward TechSupport. The Control Board is expecting 6 uA from the Flame sensor and my manifold pressure of 7 WC may be low enough to cause some ignition issues and should be 8. I'm contemplating what to do next. (1) clean new FS with steel wool...

Well I tried to rent a manometer but no luck there. While looking online for a reasonable deal I found a reference to DIY unit so I did that. Some flex tubing, gas nipple, backboard and water with food color did it. I did a Static test and load test on the inlet then a load test on outlet...

It is Propane and I have recently had the tank filled back at the beginning of this problem when I was looking at the A0 error. But your suggestion does fit the symptoms and would explain the operation of both flame sensors. I'll take a look at the gas delivery next. I have found reference to...

OK. I'm stuck. I took out all the burners and cleaned them off. Pretty much just dusted because that is all that was on them. All of them had slightly different burn markings but seemed fine. I swapped #5 with #8 just to do something different. Ignition still cycles three times then throws...
