Thanks. I see this response now. I missed it earlier as the latest post was pushed to another page. So, I'm calling the gas co tomorrow to replace the meter. Sounds like I'll need to have the heater line tied back in by someone other than the gas company. Is there anything I should note for the...

Ok. I hear you guys and Sws drove it home. I will definitely look at having a new meter put in and plan to have some plumbing work done after they replace it. Especially since I’ve considered outdoor gas logs in the past which would be running sometimes when the pool heater is. But, since I have...

I did. I disconnected the igniter because I didn’t particularly think the backfiring next to my head would be pleasant. I took the video of that above, here it is again but the pressure drops to 0.004 bars which is 1.6” wc (I get it now that sws confirmed the conversion for me).

Given that I think I’m arriving at sufficient pressure via the post above I’m coming back to an earlier comment from ajw22. Do I have a janky flame caused by the rusty flame holder? Or is there another step I should take?

Thanks. I’ll say it’s with everything running that would run while the pool heater is running. The gas furnace obviously only runs in winter as does the gas fire place. So it lines up well between 4 and 14. Is there another place to test the manifold pressure (or is that change in pressure?)

Ok. So, I got the manometer today. Still trying to fill the gap between the pool guy telling me I have sufficient gas and what you guys report. I was excited to report what I thought was sufficient gas supply at .021 bar(s?). However, I realize now you guys are talking in inches of water column...

Hey. Thanks guys. I’m looking into the gas service. How would the heater have worked for years and now with this years start up it doesn’t have enough gas pressure. Same meter and line. I picked up a manometer and I’m looking into the pressure today. I wanted to go ahead and post the videos...

Hi again. I was able to confirm, no critters blocking air flow. I have attached images of the gas meter and I’m working on the manometer (hopefully this weekend). In the meantime I tried to start it back up and took a video, in case I’m misdiagnosing something. Hopefully Dropbox links make it...

Thank you. The pool guy that I mentioned previously tested the gas flow and determined it was indeed sufficient. He was worried that the line was small but said it read just right. No other gas appliances using gas at the moment either. It has also been running with the current service the 4...
