I have Jandy LXi NG heater that's just stopped working and giving this message "Fault Check Ign Control".
I called the local pool company and they are saying this heater is not produced anymore and if they
cannot fix it they will replace it. It did not sound like they were going to try very hard to fix it.
I did find few threads here with the same issue but it looks very time consuming for a DIYer and I am already
exhausted with house renovation, I'd really prefer someone else to fix it. Apparently, there is no clear cut fix
for this breakdown as this error message can be caused by multiple reasons; the troubleshooting guide calls for
"professional required" in many places.
The pool company is coming tomorrow, Monday, 2 PM, hence the urgency.
My question is, does the faulty ignition really warrants the whole heater replacement, or more appropriately,
which broken part(s) would warrant the whole heater replacement?
On the other hand, the heater is 10 y.o., should I just go ahead and replace it?
What is the fair price for a heater replacement of the same size? I see prices for the unit is ~$2K, do not know about the labor.
If I replace it, should I stay with Jandy, or there are better heaters?
TY
