Hi everyone! Beautiful day in Buffalo/Niagara Falls! :party: Put in underwater light and tried turning on. didnt come on. Hit reset button by on/off switch. switched back off. Flipped dedicated circuit breaker. retried,no luck. Possible just need new bulb or am I missing something, (like...

Thanks for quick replies. Local installer do you mean someone like pool company or anyone else who can do it? i am sorry i am struggling. you have been great. If i order online it seems hard to find local installer because they of course want you to order from them. Besides pool company what...

It's about 5 feet from heater to gas meter. I would be willing to go up in size whatever to get more heat quicker,etc. Here in Buffalo we/I just want to go in as much as possible. I can only go in if its at least 80 to 83. Heart condition plus dang i just like it like that!! :lol:

the diameter of pipe appears to be one inch. Length of run, do you mean from heater to actual pool or from heater to filter? Pardon my stupidity. I am obviously clueless. Thats why TFP is a safe haven! :)

oh sorry, I am in sunny Buffalo/Niagara Falls area!! Seemed like old heater would heat about 1 degree an hour.

Looking online to buy new natural gas heater with I guess an electronic ignition. I had Teledyne Laars 125,000 BTU. How many BTUs should I get, is it determined by piping already there? Bigger, better? Talked to rep at Intheswim. fumbling around. Ease and reliability main issues of course. Then...

Thank you for input. I was leaning towards getting new heater as this one is older and as you say, another problem around the corner! I will not do anything myself as far as fixing this heater. too nervous!!I respect those who can! I know my limits! Don't want to blow up house or whatever. any...

Hi everyone! :wave: my original gas heater installed with pool in 1999 was replaced 2 seasons ago with "gently used" one Teledyne Laars XE model EG 125 at suggestion of pool repair guy for $500. End of last season August 2012, heater not working. Pool repair guy (The Pool Doctor) ends up...

Hi, I am just curious,which bot is it! Did it take too long. You mentioned you were impatient, that's why I asked. I bought a Blue Diamond and I love it! Thanks,Teresa

Hi, I also have the Poolbuster Max and I love it! I bought it online at In The Swim. I got it within a couple days,free shipping. T. :)

I kind of thought it was an equal parts test. Thanks again! TFP is the best! :-D Teresa

That makes sense! Heading to the store for the ingredients. Thanks! :wave:

I figured it wasn't too bad for the service call as far as cost. And here in Buffalo area, I like to have heater to help extend our season!! I appreciate your explanation as far as how it works. It really helps me understand. I don't like feeling dumb. Thanks again for your replies ! TFP...

What might you do if you don't have a smoker? sounds yummy!

My label on my CYA mixing bottle slipped slideways. How much do you need for testing. I would like to mark it with a permanent marker for proper levels. Remember, I am a "lab rat" so I worry about precision and accuracy. :lol: T.
