Well James, that's about as informative as your preceding posts. Didn't take long to exhaust the useful knowledge of this group. Over and out.

Agreed they are in short supply these days. I know from working on old bikes that the failure of certain parts usually includes a few common corollaries. Thought the same might be true of pool equipment.

p.s. thanks for that link. Good stuff.

Will do. Thanks.

Of course. My bad. I will check the water contact components when it is opened up. But I guess we are back to my original query. Are there heater parts other than the exchanger that tend to be affected by low TA induced pH changes? Strategy (sort of): The heater is currently working as...

Have not opened the unit up as of yet. No external leaks visible at this point.

Thanks ajw22. Replaced when metal flakes found behind access port. I have another spare TRV and igniter in hand.

Folks, I really appreciate the information and resource links for addressing low TA, but I'm actually looking for input regarding the damage that may have been done to heater components other than the heat exchanger itself when the TA was left to drop to <10, and no doubt the pH went acid. I am...

The Newdude abides! Thanks. Just enough knowledge to be dangerous. And thanks for the links. Perfect.

Thanks wireform. It wouldn't be much use at this point as I have re-balanced the chemistry to within appropriate parameters.

Thanks Jim. I guess the alkalinity itself is not the direct culprit but it's what led to the pH change.

First post, hope I'm in the right spot. 2 year old 3k gal salt pool, Jandy JXi 400N heater. Service let TA crash, heat cycling got funny. Cause discovered: palm full of metal shavings against thermal regulator. Main filter is tinted blue, blue staining starting to appear on pool finish, assume...

Greetings all! A little research and here we are. Nice friendly forum, active knowledgeable folks. Hope to be able to give as well as take. Cheers!
