First time poster, long time lurker!
This started a few weeks ago: my heater is making a rather loud clicking sound as if it’s trying to ignite or “click on” even though it’s turned off on the heater itself (and off on my Intellitouch board and app). After 2-3 seconds it makes a loud “click off” sound. Several minutes go by and it will repeat this cycles.
Has anyone run in to this?
Other conditions:
This seems to happen more frequently when the pump isn’t running — I have it running every day from 11am - 5:30pm; it’s more frequent at night (when the ambient temperature here is warmer than the morning fwiw)
For a few days the heater wasn’t respecting the set temp in my intellitouch, I flipped the breaker to power cycle it and it seems to be following the intellitouch now. Previously the heater was chasing the set point on its display (which should be the max temp) vs the set point in intellitouch
After that restart I had a “fault check flow” error which I was able to correct with a slightly higher RPM going from 1800 to 1850; the error didn’t return
I have a new filter arriving Friday.
I have a ghost in my intellitouch that randomly schedules the lights to come on from 8am - 5pm; while under warranty Pentair hasn’t successfully sent anyone out despite 2 service tickets
Pentair DID send someone to flash my pump firmware when I called them about that issue a couple years ago based upon what I read in this massively helpful forum
I live in cold winters of foothills to cascade mountains in Washington State and keep the pool full all year, heated to 45 degrees and run the pump so it doesn’t freeze. So I’m putting more strain on the heater than 2 years of ownership and service might imply.
