Hi everyone, Another summer, another season of headaches with this heater. But I'm not ready to plunk down 4 G on a new one. My previous soldering job seems to have held up, but a new loose connection at the board from the temp sensor was giving me problems. Got it going again but it was short...

For the past few years I've been using cellulose fiber in place of DE and have had generally good results. I was looking online to buy some more, and came across some stuff called gransorb which is a cellulose fiber used for cleaning oil spills and the like. I was wondering if something like...

Our Raypak 406a stopped working at the end of last season, but I figured better to wait to reopen to fix it. Basically as soon is it calls for heat, the SPK code shows (occasionally flashing with CFH and/or CLK), but rather than hearing the clicking at the pilot, I hear it at the PC board (seems...

I'm having a problem with my heater again, and I may have to think about a replacement. Has anyone had any experience with the indirect heat exchangers such as these from Raypak and what are your thoughts? Our boiler room is about five feet from the pool equipment so the plumbing job should be...

Not sure if this is the correct location to post, so apologies if not. After my Hayward 1HP Superpump died, I replaced it when opening last week with the Pentair Superflo VS 1.5HP. This pump has an internal cock/timer, whereas previously I relied on an external timer that would turn on power to...

Hello, I have an old Intermatic timer controlling my pump. I'm looking for a replacement plastic insulator cover, but it seems that mine is oriented in reverse of all of the timers out there. My switch is on the left (at around the 7 o'clock position), and on is to the left. Does anyone know...

So our pump finally kicked the bucket at the end of last season,and we're looking for a replacement. Previous pump was Hayward 1 HP single speed. I was thinking from some articles that I've read that going to a variable speed pump would be a good idea. Problem is that our setup is wired at 115...

I’m trying to stick with the TFP method this year, and I’m starting to realize that maintaining proper FC levels is more work than I expected. There are at least 2-3 days a week when I work 24 hr shifts (or longer) and so I can’t check and add LC every day. That seems to be an advantage to my...

So I had someone open my pool, primarily because it's hard to find the time when you work 2-3 24 hr shifts a week plus. I would like to try and stick with the TFP method and use liquid bleach. Unfortunately, he used powder shock to get me started. Either way, I neglected the pool for a week or...

I have an older Raypak heater (I think it's an R366a, but I'm at work now so I'll check tomorrow). Worked great last season. This season it started randomly shutting off. It seemed to me that the touch pad was faulty, and as soon as I disconnected it, the heatre worked fine again (with the...

Hello, Last summer we found an old slide in the bushes between my house and the neighbors'. I suspect it belonged next door, and was pulled out and chucked when they converted the house to a group home for kids with severe mental/physical disabilities. The caretaker there helped me recover it...

Hello all, I have an old inground pool that the previous owners had built around 35 years ago or so. It's an Anthony pool (which I understand was a fairly popular build in the New York area). I actually have a fair number of questions and issues, and I'm going to try to post each issue in a...

Hello, I received a Hayward H350 heater (used) and had my pool guy hook it up. The problem is that the control panel does not light up and we cannot turn on the heater. He tells me he tested and there is power going to the inside of the heater (I don't know exactly where he checked). Of note...
