    Pool heater over flame?

    Hi - turned on the pool heater today and noticed that it cycled a few times. Took off the cover and noticed it was shooting flames out the edges. Disconnected it, blew out the leaves and debris and it's still doing it. It's been turned off and gas supply off as well. Do I need to disassemble...
