    Light 2 heater won't kick on.

    We want this sooner rather then later and I'm not sure where to go beyond searching the part number. I already knew it would be a little pricy. I have seen it sell for $100. Got the order in after I found the troubleshooting manual and got just a little over 500mv from the generator with it...

    Light 2 heater won't kick on.

    Before ordering, I want to make sure as it's under a different name. I realize that it's similar, if not the same as the picture provided, but I don't want to go through returning it. Pilot Generator

    Light 2 heater won't kick on.

    Ok, I actually ended up fixing the issue. The Thermalpile was filthy, and after searching online, I found a good way to clean it. Everything was fine until now. The heater doesn't seem to want to turn on (or stay on) all the time after flipping the switch back to "ON". The switch was replaced...

    Well, the pilot has a good blueish flame. Best I have seen it over the past few years. I'm not real comfterble tempering the assembly, so we will be calling someone. Any suggestions for the Brookfield,IL area?

    Light 2 heater won't kick on.

    It WAS bypassed, it was no longer from last year. I'm getting 452millivolts between d & e. E & f give off a low voltage, but it would seem that d & e is the issue. Any quick cheap fixes?

    Light 2 heater won't kick on.

    I believe we have the LG model, it's control interface uses knobs. I got the pool ready to go, except the heater won't start. Pilot is lit, and stays lit. We had this before, and had a guy wire it up to that the temp switch was bypassed. Last year, we had to get some people out to fix it as a...

    Slight pool heater problem.

    Ok, I had to get a volt meter, before I go to get a reading, should I do this cold or light the pilot and hold the gas open with the flame for a minute before getting a reading?

    Slight pool heater problem.

    Hello, got a new problem with the heater. The pilot light won't stay light. Every time I let the knob rise up to set it "on" the pilot goes out before I can turn the knob. If I continue to hold the knob down in pilot mode, it's fine. Any advise? I would like to avoid calling someone if possible.

    It fired up almost instantly. Where can I get a new switch inexpensively?

    Slight pool heater problem.

    Hello again. I have a Jandy Lite 2 heater that was set up to be used as a dumb switch because something with the temperature sensor or switch was contently failing. This was great last year, but now the heater is not starting up all the time when we switch it on. I think it might be the rocker...

    What pump to drain pool for winter?

    I have an above ground pool and live in Illinois. Need to lower the water level for winter, however I don't want to drain it manually. What pump should I get to do this? Cost is a factor, however speed is not a big issue. Would prefer to spend around $100 or under, but can spend more.
