There is a chance this could take a really long time so I’ll assume it can be into the rainy season. even at it’s worse down there I’ve hardly seen any drastic rain but again it could happen. Going to make everyone well aware of the risks of draining. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for the subpump idea. I knew there was something simple I wasn’t thinking about! Had been debating rigging up a pump with filter… The pool is at an extremely dry area with porous and well draining lava rock, and some combo of fill in the yard. The only reason there is any green in...

Haven't had to deal with and endless summer, extended drain before: Client plans to demolish pool equipment room, build out their house with an extra rooms and is requesting to drain the in-ground, concrete with plaster, saltwater pool / spa. Build could take many, many months. In Hawaii and...

Yeah it’s nice to learn so much, and even nicer when it works! thanks to everyone for this forum.

It was the gas regulator And also the gas gauge! So simple.... Lesson learned here, doesn’t matter how much you think you smell “gas” it might not actually have enough in the tank and the olddddd regulator wouldn’t have let it through at a proper rate anyway. So I can stop blaming the heater...

Yes :) that was also the initial reaction to the burned out relays... Was afraid they burned from too much AMP or current... and thank you very much for the reminder to go ahead and measure them anyway. It's all up and running now so it is worth the two minutes it takes to be completely sure...

Another Update: The ignitor is glowing. And a buddy had the same kind of spare working blower, so we attached it and got same results. All safety switches seem satisfied but the gas does not ignite. So I guess we’re down to making sure propane regulator(s) And gas flow is satisfied.

For a follow up to anyone who might need this info. I think I've purchased one of the very last rly-dim in existence in 2019 from a buddy in another state. Tried to purchase one on a website that claimed to have it - and it was a hoax. So we've got a regular relay and a dimmer in hand. Now it...

Ah, good to know. I'm assuming when you installed the solenoid it worked again. Thanks for the reply and info!

Great response, thanks. Good to think through the 'basics' of the system here and realize each once of the other switches are satisfied enough to get to the gas valve opening. We will take a look at the igniter to make sure it is glowing, look into gas regulator and flow, and the blower. Thanks...

Thanks so much Pool Clown. The new ignitor did get warm. And the fenwall ICM finally gave us Ignition Lockout flashes. We tried a new high limit switch and new ICM and have same results. Ignition Lockout and gas valve clicking open. So perhaps it’s being finicky as you said with the air...

Thank you for the concern, you don't have to be licensed for gas to maintain / repair / plumb pool heaters in the state we live in. Only need license for installation, which was already done by a professional.

Thanks so much for tagging people ! ajw22

Hello wonderful helpful people! Got a sta rite that had a quick one red blink led light for AFS + LED 11 and immediately turn off. No other lights red lights turned on at all. Greed led for pool and spa. No other bad indicators. heater turns on, blower goes on and stays on, suction to afs is...

Hey Chris, Thank you very much for your response. Yes all the rest of relays are being used for other things. As I replied to another person here -- The manual says "it CAN take two dimmable relays" not that it "HAS" to so unless I'm reading that wrong, it should be ok with just a regualr relay...
