Ok that didn't work. Not only that but the replacement switch didn't work at all where the old one did.

Toggling the heat on and off a few times , seems to clear the issue ( temporarily until next startup ) . I have a hot tub and had a similar problem , pressure switch failing and heat would not turn on. Going to give replacement a try.

Very interesting , thank you for your insights.

It's almost impossible with all the rain and our pool is surrounded by tall trees. That said the filters are barely dirty , the chlorine is on the high side and the pressure is low ( high would be clogged filters. )

In hindsight. Do you think you needed anything besides the insultation ? I don't understand why there was no recall or such...

I have an older NorthStar Pump, 2HP , it is a beast. Doesn't have 2 speeds , just 1. Flow into the pool seems strong as always.

It's been crazy raining here , battling algae all summer

will do thanks

Just another observation , recently the heater has been making a moaning noise on occasion. Again on my todo to deep dive this problem , hoped it could wait until the season ended.

Thank you all for reaching out so soon. Did clean the filters again and replace. It worked but they really weren't that dirty. These are 2023 filters, and the pressure was very low, which usually indicates not dirty ( over the 12 years I have had this pool. Heater is like 5 years old.

I guess I need to find a exploded diagram to determine the location.

Yes the hi limit is a nuisance , but clears and resets. I do have it on my todo to find an insulation solution, just Leary that causes some damage if the temp is legit too high. SW Open is the other problem.
