Sister used the pool and heater a week ago and had the pool pump turned off and left the heater on for a day before finally turning it off. The heater is showing power light and pressure light on, but not igniting. So no Heat light or Service light on. Any ideas? I can’t afford to get a new heater right now.
 
Here is the basic troubleshooting for heater not coming on.

If the pump was on for a day without the pump, AND the heater was running without water flow, follow the manual for overheating...Turn the gas valve off and call for service.

Any chance you have the manual for overheating as well? The house was purchased a year ago and the previous owner left us nothing as far as manuals go

MiniMax Plus IID.

Pentair acquired PacFab (1999) which had previously acquired Purex Pool Products and American Products.

Purex was sold to Pac Fab in 1994.

The date is between 1994 and 1999.

Maybe about 1997.
