I checked and it looks like the gas was shut off down at the line. I’ve since turned it on and waited a few minutes. Still hasn’t lit.

Well, some things can never be easy I guess. I’ve waited for the piping to dry, tested for any gas leaks and tried to turn it on last night. The pilot won’t light. I took a video: It keeps trying and ends up with ignition failure. 🤦🏻‍♂️ My initial thought would be to disconnect the gas pipe to...

Yep, the bonding wire is on the right side and connected. Have a minor leak in the pvc pipe so using Flex Seal, which is the best info-mercial item out there. Definitely planning on using the water/soap trick on the gas. Thanks for the tips and looking it over. Have a good one!

I just finished hooking up the Raypak 266. Now just waiting for everything to dry. 🙌🏻

Will do. Checking out the Raypaks and Pentairs now. https://www.poolsupplyunlimited.com/pool/raypak-009217-pool-heater/86507p1 Appreciate the help and have a good weekend.

I cannot believe how active, patient and responsive you guys are on this forum. It's not only impressive. It's awesome! I wish that you guys were available for all my DIY projects! Do you recommend a pool heater by chance? Having a hard time finding a direct replacement for the Jandy LXI i400...

Thanks. At this point, would you suggest to replace the heater for safety concerns or keep trying to fix it?

Thanks. The multimeter is showing that it’s receiving 25.6, which looks correct. The ignitor control shows the valve should receive 24 VAC.

No worries I got the humor and the honesty. I'm enjoying learning more about the pool heater for sure, and you guys are incredibly helpful. I opened the heater from more angles and I would agree that the water got pretty high and a lot of the heater was fairly submerged. All 3 boards are working...

They weren’t really dirty but I still cleaned the ground wires. Unfortunately, still got the 3 lights for the lockout. Didn’t get a chance to test the other options recommended but will soon. Thanks!
