SOLUTION::UPDATE:: Okay, so I figured out the solution for this. Basically, all I needed to do was open the windows in the pump/heater room. Apparently there is a sensor, but i'm not sure which one, that detects pressure in the room. I think most of these heater are outdoors so it isn't an...

This is super helpful, and it all makes sense. Sometimes you just need someone who is thinking outside the box! Thank you sir. i'm going to start investigating and i'll report back!

good thought. ours exhausts on the roof, since it's located inside of a pump room. maybe i'll take the exhaust apart and try to temp it. thanks for all the help! I'll report back if I have any news. I likely won't get to it until after the weekend.

Long story, but yes. been down that road. they put in a service order at the nearest pentair service provider and i finally get in touch with them, they say "we don't service your area". so I contact the 2nd closesest, same thing. so on and so fourth. so I think i'm on my own for this one!

Thanks for the advice. I pulled the sensors and they were heavily corroded. I cleaned them up and i'm still having the issue. I checked the temperature about 15 minutes after the heater fires up, one sensor is reading 140's (around 145) and the other reads 165-166. I suppose I need to figure out...

Thanks for the response. sorry for the lack of info! it is not the hybrid heater, it only uses propane to heat. I do have a VS pump, it's running just fine at 312GPM (it's an 8k gal spa) the whole setup is 2.5 years old, I backwashed the sand filter about a week ago when it reached a 10psi...

hey all- i'm mike and work at a camp for kids in New York. we have multiple pools ranging from a 113k gal zero entry- surge pool, to water slides and a 8k gal spa. most everything we have is pentair brand. Just looking to help a fellow pool operator out and also learn from some others who might...

Hey there. New to TFP- but glad I found it- tons of useful information so far. I have a pentair heater for a 8,700 gal spa. when I have it heat up, the water temp will get to 96* and then service heater light comes on, and it stops heating. If I shut it off, and turn it back on, the service...
