Heater Issue

[JPMorgan]

We had a new heater installed on indoor pool in December of ‘22. Recently had a “sensor failure”. The pool runs 24/7. Is it common for a sensor to fail after 18 months?

It could happen. If the heater is still under warranty maybe pursue that before tinkering on your own?

Make and Model of heater.

Which sensor?

There are a lot of quality control problems with sensors lately, so it is not really common or uncommon.

File a warranty claim.

Raypak B-R206A. Not sure which sensor. For now the issue seems to have resolved. Will post again if necessary. Looks like there is a 2 year warranty on parts and labor, so we will pursue that if needed.
Thanks.

You have a temperature sensor that takes two measurements and the error means that the two readings are off by more than 2 degrees F.

Ask Raypak to send you a new sensor under warranty so that you have one if you need it.

It is easy to replace.

Part Number 009577F

Digital Models: Remove the thermostat temperature sensor by loosening the compression fitting nut.

Digital Models: Insert the temperature sensor into the compression fitting, so that the sensor is flush with the top of the fitting.

Tighten 1/2 turn past hand-tight.
