    Pentair IC40 lights intgemitment

    Jim Ok, I couldnt get to the wires from the back side so I unhooked the cell and tested the red and black wires comming from the circuit board, the system was on and in pool mode. I got 27 volts DC comming from the ciruit board. Does that mean the power supply is bad? The cell connects to my...

    Pentair IC40 lights intgemitment

    When the lights were on, I did a status check by holding down the MORE button and only two lights were on, so according to the manual it was ~4000-5000 hours, its been 5 years since it was installed. I clean it every month and the size of the pool is on the smaller size so I only use the SWG...

    Pentair IC40 lights intgemitment

    My SWG shows no lights at all. I reset the system and sometimes the lights come on blink then suddenly go out. I opened up the pentair easy touch panel and looked for a fuse but there isnt one. The SWG is pluged into the panel and then the cable goes directly to a circuit board hooked to a...

    Mastertemp 250KBTU Heater does not refire after reaching Correct Temp

    No LEDs come on when the heater shuts off. It just stops heating but the blower keeps going till it cools off. My readout on the conroller shows the temp decreasing but it does not refire. No readouts on the front of the panel of the heater either.

    My Mastertemp 250K Heater starts fine and reaches proper temp in normal time. After the water cools off, the heater does not refire to bring the temp back up to correct temp. If I turn off spa, and turn back on, it works fine, but then again does not refire when cooled off automaticaly. Is...

    Pentair Mastertemp 400 Pool Heater

    UPDATE James, just wanted to give you an update. I removed the thermal reg for a test and it worked fine. Thanks a lot for helping me get to that point. I contacted the vendor that sent me the thermal reg and they said to return it and they would send me a new one free of charge (it pays to...

    Pentair Mastertemp 400 Pool Heater

    I have a salt system and get it tested at pinch-a-penny weekly. I don't add chlorine at all. The salt system is normally set at 13-17% during the winter months and ~25 during the summer. My pool is an acid eater so I only have to add stabilizer once every 6-8 months and a cup or two of acid...

    Pentair Mastertemp 400 Pool Heater

    No, the chemistry was good, maybe a little acid now and then, and the chlorine was high due to some cold snaps we have had, but thats it. Stabilizer and hard solids are all in line. That pic was the new regulator, maybe been installed three weeks tops.

    Pentair Mastertemp 400 Pool Heater

    OK, you are on to something here. I removed the thermal regulator and it started up fine and continued to run till it got to ~90 degrees (I was afraid to continue without the regulator). The exhaust temp only reached ~165 and remained steady. I have attached pics of the regulator. I just...

    Pentair Mastertemp 400 Pool Heater

    I cleaned the filter and basket before all the troubleshooting. The pump is a Intelliflo VS-3050 Variable speed programmable pump. The pressure out of the jets is strong. The chemistry is perfect (I have it checked weekly). I have a Salt Chlorine system so it really is perfect. No scale or...

    Pentair Mastertemp 400 Pool Heater

    Ok, I have (I think) the Mastertemp 250 NA. On the inside cover it does not stipulate if its HD or not so I am assuming its standard. I have attached pics for you. I fired up the system and pressed the spa on button to see the exhaust temp. It climbed to 280, then the system shut down...

    Pentair Mastertemp 400 Pool Heater

    I took apart the manifold and cleaned it out. I saw no damage to any parts to include the bypass valve. I put it back together and fired it back up. It still has the same problems. About every two or three degrees in temp rise it gives me the same HLS error than clears itself after a minute...

    Pentair Mastertemp 400 Pool Heater

    Issues with keeping boiler lit. The heater would fire up and go for about 10 mins then I get a HLS (High Limit Switch) error. After a few min (about 2-3) it fires back up. It takes a long time to get to temp (101). I replaced the HLS sensor and it fired up again first try. The initial Temp...

    Mastertemp 250 Heater issues

    I have a Mastertemp 250 heater, and it ignites and gets to temp, them seems to shut off (no lights etc on panel), is this normal? I replied the thermal reg and it fixed the problem but now it gets to temp (101) and doesn't seem to reignite when the temp drops down. Thanks in advance
