Ok that didn't work. Not only that but the replacement switch didn't work at all where the old one did.

Toggling the heat on and off a few times , seems to clear the issue ( temporarily until next startup ) . I have a hot tub and had a similar problem , pressure switch failing and heat would not turn on. Going to give replacement a try.

Very interesting , thank you for your insights.

It's almost impossible with all the rain and our pool is surrounded by tall trees. That said the filters are barely dirty , the chlorine is on the high side and the pressure is low ( high would be clogged filters. )

In hindsight. Do you think you needed anything besides the insultation ? I don't understand why there was no recall or such...

I have an older NorthStar Pump, 2HP , it is a beast. Doesn't have 2 speeds , just 1. Flow into the pool seems strong as always.

Is there any chance adjusting the pressure switch a 1/4 turn might help ? Cleaning filters weekly is getting old quikc Thank you for your reply. So this heater has been running 5-6 years and this problem only came up recently, and frequently despite constant changing of filters ( actually came...

Is there any chance adjusting the pressure switch a 1/4 turn might help ? Cleaning filters weekly is getting old quick

It's been crazy raining here , battling algae all summer

What does that indicate ? Chlorine has been pretty steady all summer, I shock when needed and keep the chlorinator filled every 2 weeks.

will do thanks

Just another observation , recently the heater has been making a moaning noise on occasion. Again on my todo to deep dive this problem , hoped it could wait until the season ended.

Thank you all for reaching out so soon. Did clean the filters again and replace. It worked but they really weren't that dirty. These are 2023 filters, and the pressure was very low, which usually indicates not dirty ( over the 12 years I have had this pool. Heater is like 5 years old.

I guess I need to find a exploded diagram to determine the location.

Yes the hi limit is a nuisance , but clears and resets. I do have it on my todo to find an insulation solution, just Leary that causes some damage if the temp is legit too high. SW Open is the other problem.

So I'm back to this problem , more and more frequently now. Cleaning baskets and filters always fixed the issue before , but now we just did the filters 2 weeks ago and the pressure is normal , flow appears normal, no bubbling . Heater wont start sw open. We also get hi limit fault as well ...

Thanks for the reply

Hello... So I have read some interesting ideas here about remoting my pool / heater. The setup is not close to the house and I am hoping to remote control these systems. Pool pump and heater come off same breaker/mech timer (the timer func I do not use ) . 2 sets of 220 come out of the box to...

Thanks, wow that stuff is $$

Hi So few tiles broken and came off after last winter and we finally sourced the replacements. It's about 5 maybe 6. I was hoping someone could suggest the right product to use to back them. Just regular thinset or is there something else I should be using. ? Grout , or just use the thinset ...

OK , sorry , seems my wife found a resource... Please disregard this post.

Our pool is ~ 20 years old and so needs some TLC now and then. Over winter 5-6 tiles fell of ( in pieces ) and trying to find a resource to replace them. Does anyone have any suggestions , googling is proving not too productive ( except at 13 $ a tile which seems a bit high, and local pool...

Cool video , thanks. I'm gonna try that

You know I usually do... But ran out.. Maybe that is the issue.. Didn't think so since it was fine most of may and juine.

Having a strange issue, wondered if someone might have some insights. This year and last the same issue. Beginning of season the pool pressure is good , no air appears in the pump housing. As the season goes on and it starts shooting more and more air out of the jets that go into the pool and...

Wow that was much more involved than I realized.. Had very carefully disconnect all the rusty connections , then disconnect the water lines just to even start.. Crazy I didn't loose any bolts during the process.. Thanks for your help , heater shows no signs of leaks ( at the moment ;-) )

Wow , guess when this one goes ( hopefully not tooo soon ) I'll check out Sta-Rite. Thanks for the wisdom !!

Thanks... Wow I can't believe that is the company response to this.. Just curious what brand you switched to ? If you don't mind sharnig

Wow that's unfortunate. I was a jandy owner , but they weren't very helpful to the consumer. Was advised raypak was ... At least the publish the troubleshooting guide. So do you think the fiberglass idea makes sense ? Seems something that would collect and retain water and prematurely degrade...

The video has a better perspective... I took a screen shot and attached. Unfortunately everything had to be put back together as bad weather is heading our way. seems to come from the screw area.
