I have a brand new heater that was installed last fall. I started to get this error this week and wasn't sure what to do?

We just closed our pool after installing a new heater (mastertemp 400hd). The spa run but the temp does not get above 65 no matter I set the temp to on my pentair app. Am I missing something?

I am not sure if checked for exchanger leak. Is that an easy test? Any good online places to buy heaters?

My heater was turning on for 10 secs then off. I had the PB come out and look at it. While using the key pad on heater he said it began to smoke. Options that he gave me were to replace the unit for $4700 or replace heat exchanger, control board and membrane for $3100. Seems a bit pricey...

I have returns on the side of the pool and returns on the bottom for the cleaners. Not sure about the main drain. Will look today. Is there away to ID which valve goes to the main drain? That has been a hard one to ID for me because you cant feel the suction when trouble shooting which...

Quick one... When my infloor cleaners run at night should I have the pump/skimmers running also. I have a seperate pump for the cleaners. I only run my infloor cleaners for an hour in the middle of the night because I also use a robot daily to clean the floors.

I added 1 gallon of acid, went for beers and wings with the wife. Come home and its clear. I am not sure if it was the acid or the beer and wings?

pH 8.0 Alk 90 Really! I add 2 lbs of pak 200 and it goes from 6.4 to 8.0. I guess I have to add acid?

I use the K-2006. I got 7.0. I took it to the pool store and they got 6.4 which is the lowest they can measure. I guess it could have been lower than 6.4. What else would cause it to be that low. I measure regularly but fell asleep at the wheel and only measured TC for the past week. Still...

I test several days per week. I live in KC and we have had 5-7" of rain this week. That is my guess?

With a pH of 6.4 it’s going to take quite some time to raise it to normal levels even with adding 2 pounds of soda ash, correct?Have you had any experience with it clearing up within five or six hours or are we talking several days?

I made a mistake today by listening to the pool store. I went in to see if the numbers I was getting were accutate (they were) Ph 6.4 Alk 90 We have had a ton of rain so my guess in drove my pH down. Well I knew I should go to target and get borax but the guy talked me in to adding 2 lbs of...

Thanks for the advice! Will get a clamp

it is a Paramount infloor cleaner. It looks like there is some type of sealant (silicone?) that was used to seal the dome. All of the youtube videos I am finding show a clamp that goes around the dome to seal it. If the PB used a sealant to lock it down what kind would they use?

Any ideas on how to seal this cleaner valve? It looks like the pool builder used some type of adhesive around the edges, no clamp.
