Hello TFP members!
My Raypak RP2100 pool heater shuts off after short periods. It ignites just fine. The igniter is fairly new, I replaced it myself a few years back. I had the heater running once this season prior to now and it ran like magic for 24 hours. Nothing (such as valves etc) has been altered since. The water is flowing fine, the returns are doing their thing, warm water is coming out of the returns when the heater is on, the filter pressure is normal, the pump basket is clean, and I backwashed about a week or so ago.
What I noticed yesterday when I started it up again (after initially having this problem the day prior) is that while it was running for the short time I had it going, the thermostat reading was climbing a degree a minute. Once it got up 5 or so degrees, I shut it off. I didn't notice that happening prior.
Thus far, I'm guessing it's the control board but I do not want to buy one for nothing. They aren't cheap. I just can't figure out anything else it could be.
Thank you much!
