    In Canada, why was my igniter so hard to track down?

    I'll preface this by saying I got a replacement igniter (Coorstek model 271A) in under a week by ordering it from Grainger, so all good, but...

    Pentair Mastertemp 250 Not Igniting

    Wow do I love this forum! @ajw22, thanks for the tip - after searching around I found the Fenwal box (let me tell you -- I did lose a little time trying to figure out what a FENWAY box was, but all good - I got there without a trip to Boston ;). From there it was a three-flash indicating...
