Thanks James - The aux ground path (as set out in the fenwal kit) i had put in earlier. So i reckon it must have been these little bindi eyes swirling around in the mixer. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Or maybe she,s a heater that needed a bit of tlc on every level to come back to sync...

Run out of rooom so , then found this, a few bindis and foot ticklers (see pic ) could these little bindi eyes sucked in by the blower make a flame drop?? Cleaned the pipe , it looked spick and span. So put the whole show back together and bingo!! She fired up and stayed on. Fluck? Shut her down...

Well swamp rat ,8James and all, I went to town and bought a trms 6000 multi meter to confirm the sensing , and yep it read a a few microampers when work up and lite then boom it was out as the flame dropped out, gas stoped. So reconfirmed igniter yep good so I bit the bullet and took the whole...

G'day swamprat and thanks for the info, the gas valve is like the one in fig 35. last post attached photo no1 shows a top veiw of the valve and low side test screw in top right hand cnr. As i have been getting a reading from fc+- of vdc except for yesterday (maybe the age of my Multi) when i...

Any ideas ?.. left or right?

So did some of the things you suggested swamp rat and yes had 24vac to the gas modual that stoped when heat drop out . Had 24vac at th/grn and Val/grn which didn’t drop out. And found in the manual a note about not adjusting the gas at the regulator.?? See my attachments very confused about the...

thanks James , just to be sure to be sure the measure rectification current ? ( flame current or flame on) at the fenwall points Fc+/- or is there a another way? txgi

I had read the "Further reading" flame sensing article some weeks back its a great step by step explanation with tips. I have already installed a new IcM, ignitor and a pcb etc etc. and getting a reading of about 1- 2 vdc on the fc+/- pins. I ve also tried plugging the unit into a different...

Thanks guys, your point on different index units is something Johno (the gas guy ) picked up on. I was showing him he manual the former tech down loaded and he noted that the values where all imperial ie. Wc and inches and no AS/NZS gas accreditations. He said we measure everything in Kpa . and...

Back again and still no wiser. So gas fitter came today and checked the regulators, propane tank and 1 stage regulator all good. 2nd stage regulator for the heater ( exclusively) was all good too . He set up his nanometer to test inlet pressure on the heater as set out in the manual and it was...

Reactive soils can move your pavers. If your sand, scallops or grade substrate is/was not packed hard or thick enough and you on a trap or clay, then as the ground absorbes water or dries out the clay swells or contracts. Up and down. Over time this may become a wave or just soft spots. Good...

I’m not a pool builder but in commercial and residential. I would be asking , what is causing the cracking? Is the substrate solid or fixable for refit? You need to fix any issue in the structure before you dress it up. I reckon money spent on the structural bones will save you the griefof...

Had a similar issue with hakaway stone. As a natural stone when it is cut you get a slight bow , sometimes through the machining a sometimes as a result of porous stone leaching hench they usually have a face side which is honed. These stone types react to being exposed to oxygen, pollution and...

Thankyou James, I will endeavour to post the outcome when I have this checked. Once again your selfless time to help has won the day and I am very gratefully thanks mate. Glen

"Thinking Hat" on now , - if the pentair guy said he adjusted the gas he must have played with (2nd stage regulator) ,the inlet regulator yes? i read in the manual and it seems to imply that everything is factory set in the manifold/regulator (no adjustment?) and as you pointed out James it...

G'Morning James, The tank is a 2500 litre tank about 20 metres away, and the regulator is in one of the pics, nothing has changed on the setup since 2013 so i guess time has wearied it. I somewhat expected the response from pentair/plumber guy i got this morning as he said he was "wearing his...

Wow thanks James that’s so obvious I ve even read that in the manual I think. I know the pentair guy is a plumber who got the job because we live a bit outback , but that’s no reason to miss that. He charges like a wounded bull as well so we got no change out of 850$. Yep he’s got all the gear...
