Hi all,
New here and tough to find answers online. I have a 3 season old Mastertemp 125 pool heater.
It was tripping the breaker now it will stay on but does not fire. It says ERR AFS on the screen.
My pool guy (original installer) came and took some bolt out and said it was full of water and the heat exchanger is bad.
I can get a new heater for about 1500 bucks, Or heat exchanger for about 600 online which comes with a new igniter and the entire kit.
I’m pretty handy and do not mind getting my hands dirty. What’s involved and how difficult is it to replace the heat exchanger?
Or am I better off just replacing the heater?
They said my water chemistry caused it. I am diligent with taking my water to the pool place and adding chemicals as needed. I am salt water. Never had any issues with my water and whatever needs added I always take care of it.
Very frustrated because the pool place where I get my water checked told me that I’m one of their better customers as far as keeping water quality good.
TIA.
Jim
