Hi all, brand new so please let me know if I’m off base anywhere.
I’m a relatively new pool owner in Canada with a Pentair MasterTemp250HD that has failed at month 20 due to corrosion.
The pool installer maintained the pool for the first season, I’ve been doing it this season. I’m somewhat obsessive about the chemistry - checking it 2-3 times per week. It’s a salt water pool with a Hayward SWG. It’s a small pool - 10,000 gallons.
Typically I find the PH high, and add approx 1L of muric acid per week (maybe 2 weeks).
There is no check valve between the heater and SWG.
Last week the heater started leaking, we called the pool company - they sent a tech out right away to inspect and sure enough, it’s corroded completely. Destroyed. They say it must be me - not managing the chemistry well enough (I feel as though they’re trying to selling me into a weekly service contract).
Alk and stabilizer are typically perfect (in fact I’m not sure I’ve had to adjust since the spring opening).
What could I have done so wrong in 4/5????
