    Pool and Spa heaters not working at start-up (Raypak 406A) - Now Hi Limit Error

    Quick updates: Pool heater came on 20 minutes after start-up. I switched heater off and let it sit with gas on and water flowing. When I tried again, it lit up. Maybe there was an issue getting the propane gas to run fully through the system. Spa heater open sw water went away when I turned...

    Pool and Spa heaters not working at start-up (Raypak 406A) - Now Hi Limit Error

    Pool has been running since first week of April with heaters bypassed. Opened the bypasses today and both heaters failed to work. Each heater is a 2011 Raypak 406A with 3-4 year old circuit boards (revision 1.08 and 1.07 digital). I will outline each separately as the problems are different...

    Purchasing calcium chloride

    I used this last year. It came up as unavailable when I searched last week. This is what I wanted initially.

    Purchasing calcium chloride

    So what arrived was vaporizer brand calcium chloride. Labels says 90-92% calcium chloride, water 4-6%, potassium chloride 2-3% and sodium chloride 1-2%. I think its ok

    Purchasing calcium chloride

    Yes - just checked again. They say over 500 in stock. I am getting two. $35 delivery fee sticks but the stuff is dirt cheap, even with the fee.

    Purchasing calcium chloride

    The SnowJoe I used last year is not available anymore (94% pure). Does this seem OK? It says 100% calcium chloride on home depot website. I am open to ideas if someone had a better source. This is from Home Depot and about $25 for 50lb which is cheap...

    Jandy Aqualink not starting up for season

    Thanks. I got it going after only about three hours of misery. Two different wiring issues found. One of the four sockets on a multiplex board was bad (in crawl space under pool house). Also, i had disconnected my variable speed spa pump for winter and not yet reconnected. Two of the wires...

    Jandy Aqualink not starting up for season

    Old Jandy system - originally installed in 2000. Was upgraded to iAqualink (first version) and board was swapped at the time. Two touch keypads, both not displaying (se photo attached). I hear the system controlling my pump, but I cannot access the programming without the keypads (and...

    Drained a bit too far yesterday

    Plan was to get the water below the return but above the lights. Went about an inch too far and the water line is at the top of one of my pool lights (and above the other as it should be). How bad is this? Should I try to top off the pool with an inch or two of water to fully cover the other...

    Returns during the winter (do I plug or not)?

    I think I am losing it - I did plug them. Just panicked with all the water that came in last night.

    Returns during the winter (do I plug or not)?

    I guess I knew that. Should not be an issue yet as the water just got to that level last night and it's now warm. But should I blow the lines again first? Or is it overkill given this just happened? It's not supposed to get really cold again until next Tuesday at least (but then it will stay...

    Returns during the winter (do I plug or not)?

    I just had a terrible thought and wanted to run it by others who know. I drained my pool in December (eastern Long Island), getting the water level below the returns and just above the pool lights. I blew out all the lines. Plugged the pipes by the pumps, etc. But I did NOT put plugs on the...

    Dolphin M600 stopped working (2 years old)

    To their credit, mine was repaired in less than a week. No stress, other than having no robot for a week,.

    Dolphin M600 stopped working (2 years old)

    Question for others: How do you remove Dolphin from pool. When it stops in deep end, I gently pull the cord to bring the unit near the surface, then I grab the handle to remove from pool. I wonder if pulling the cord as I do (never hard, never to get device out of water) caused the cord to go...

    New twist on Raypak High Limit 2 error

    I have had issues with my Raypak heater for years getting very frequent Raypak High Limit 2 faults. I have changed the Unitherm governor several times (most recently two weeks ago), the internal bypass, replacing the limit sensors and adding a heat shield. I finally decided that I must have a...

    PoolMath renewal not credited

    I went to log my pool chemical levels today and I was told I must upgrade to premium to do so. I noticed my renewal was processed July 1 so I am 100% up to date. On further inspection, my subscription seems to be for an old email that gets kept alive with Family Sharing. Since Apple would not...

    Ideas on spa leak

    Hopefully this helps. I sent the spa from different angles (one showing the jets and one with jets on), the autofill next to the spa, the skimmer, and the pumps, blower and heater and filter. The wetness in the photo was from yesterday's rain, not leakage. Please let me know if you see...

    Dolphin M600 stopped working (2 years old)

    Can you get it back from local place? Mine was done in 4 days. They had me send to a place in PA - not to Dolphin itself.
