So I opened the pool and everything is going great. I replaced the sand filter with a Doheny 425 cartridge filter. My pressure started at 18 psi on the cartridge filter.
Yesterday I decided to fire up the Rheem/Raypack gas fired heater. It sensed the water temp, sensed I had flow, sparked and the fire lit and started heating the water. Initial water temp was 70, with in about 15 minutes the heater shut off. The control panel said no demand, water temp 93 which is what I had it set at. I turned the heat up to 104 and the heater fired and started heating water. But in about 5 minutes it shut off and said no demand water temp 104.
Obivously the water is no where near that temp. Reading the manual the system appears to be working as it is supposed to accept that the actual water temp is no where near what the control panel says it is.
The pool place tells me I need to call Rheem for warranty. I said I do not care about warranty I just want a functioning heater. The pool place called me back and said well we sold you that heater, we installed it for you but we cannot service it for you. You need to call Rheem. I called Rheem, they said we do not deal with the public direct, go to our website and find a pro in your area for pool and spa heaters. I did that, there are none.
So my pressure today is up to 20 on the cartridge filter. Could that 2 pounds be causing just enough restriction that the output temp sensor is not getting enough water to read accurately? I read on here that 90% of all heater problems are flow. Did I restrict the flow too much by installing a cartridge filter system?
Worthless Aloha pools in Jackson cannot even send someone until June 5, probably will not need the heater by then. Any suggestions?
