    Hayward H400FDN - partially ignites

    Well, it appears to be a gas supply problem. Under load, with the system on, the high pressure reads 1.2 WC. We will work on the problem from that end and see what we get. Thanks for the help and suggestions.

    Hayward H400FDN - partially ignites

    Correct, the regulator I am adjusting is on gas valve (part #17 on the diagram). You bring up a good point, I need to check the incoming pressure (high-pressure side) while it is running to see if it can maintain the necessary flow of gas. Thanks for the tip. Yes, I purchased a new gas valve...

    We have an H400FDN pool heater. It is 12 years old and is used about 4-8 times per year. It worked this summer but stopped this fall. If we pull the small cover on the left side (igniter access baffle?), the unit will light but only the left half of the burners appear to be lit. The left...
