Thanks for the advice, I am going to get some ear plugs and better goggles and try to get a better look at this thing. I've been turning off the pump before anyone goes in.

It'll be a challenge but I think I can do it. How do they attach?

The main drain cover on my inground pool from the 1960s was missing when we bought the house. Pretty sure there's no screw holes. Is there a product that will fit on this? It's 9 feet down there so it'll be a challenge unless I end up draining the pool which I'm trying to avoid. That's a ball...

So I loosened the cover on the igniter and it fired up. If I tighten the cover it shuts off. Go figure something silly like that can cause this.

Best guess is he is too busy for a small job most of the companies are completely booked for the summer or don't work on heaters and there's no Hayward certified technicians in the area. He checked all the parts and burners, he was here quite a while twice and couldn't figure it out. It's only 3...

I took the vents off and cleaned it this morning it wasn't that bad.

Heater fires up and sounds like it's running for a few seconds, it blows out heat, then it cycles and tries again. Had a pro out he swapped out the flame sensor. He said the ignitor and gas exchanger were fine. I got it to run one time after about 10 tries of it firing up and it ran the entire...

I just had this problem. I thought it was gas, but it was actually something being burned. I had tiny seeds from a bush nearby that went through the vents and got into the heat exchanger. I took the heater apart and used a bristle head on the vacuum and got them all out. There's a lot of...

I have this old gunite pool from the 60s, no leaks, new equipment, but it needs some work. The pool is estimated to be around 30,000 gallons. The pool to me looks like it popped up, supposedly the last owner hadn't opened the pool for a 10 year stretch and might have had it drained. There's...

Found the culprit these little seeds were getting blown off the bush near the heater and made it through the grates of heat exchanger. There was a whole bunch i got in there with a vacuum with bristles and got it working. Smell is gone.
