Thank you, we did put some liner lock couple of years ago. Appreciate your recommendations.

Hi, we may need to reline our pool. The previous owners replaced it in 2011. It’s coming off the sides in 2 places. I don’t think it’s critical but want to start looking. Pool size 16x32 rectangle. What price I might be looking at? Any recommended installers in SWPA? Do you recommend buying...

@JamesW Re-starting this thread.. My heater was not starting (3 tries and then a service heater error). I cleaned the GND in the Fenwal box and it worked once, but this has been a recurring problem. I haven't had a chance to update this thread, but the heater still has the same issue. Cleaning...

I just updated that thread. Thanks

@JamesW I should have closed this thread with what I ended up doing, but hey now I can review this 1 year later :) I installed the Neptune motors NPTT165 VSP. I used it because it's a 110VAC pump and I don't have 208V coming to the pool. I haven't had any issues with this motor, since last...

@JamesW i still can’t measure the current. The voltage is at 1.8V.

Thanks @JamesW Quick update. I cleaned the GNDs with sand paper and rubbing alcohol, and that fixed the issue. So the GND was the culprit. I still need to replace the ring connectors as they broke while I was removing them. It’s surprising how corrosive mouse pee can be😝 The igniter will be...

Thank you @1poolman1 @JamesW @oldprophet for replying to this thread. I did not see any fault LEDs on the control board, so I started investigating the Flame Sense circuit. When the issue occurs, the Fenwal shows ignition lockout (3 LED blinks). I am measuring the resistance of the igniter as...

Hi all, Pool season is about to be over here in western PA and my pool heater has started giving me some trouble. For reference, I have a Pentair MasterTemp 250. Installed in 2012. We bought the house in 2021 and the heater worked fine last 2 years. When I turn the heater on, it goes through...

Thank you @Casey

@Casey @tsar which brand/ and where did you buy your blue cover? I am looking to get my first cover. Sounds like the Vigli reel is pretty good.

Thank you. So I am reading the forum and some suggest to use PTFE tape and the thread sealant? But it doesn’t make sense as one is a lubricant and one is a sealant? Should I just use the thread sealant?

Hi all, I put more PTFE tape and the threaded joint still leaks a little. Two things are possible- I either over tightened the joint. I used my hands (no tools), but it’s entirely possible. Or I should put some thread sealant . will this one work? Thread sealant Thanks all.

So I took it out and there’s no o ring. Just pvc with tape, it looks like. I have tape to put it back together. Do you guys know what size o ring and where I can order it from? Thank you
