    Heater cycles on/off without heating

    It turned out to be a gas problem. I have no idea how it happened but apparently the manual gas valve was not 100% open. I only figured it out because we had a small gas leak and had the utility provider coming to fix it. Thank you so much everyone I learned a lot and now feel fully capable of...

    Heater cycles on/off without heating

    I cleaned everything and I don't think it is a flow issue. Flow may not be optimal but from the pool I am getting 50GPM-75GPM depending on RPM so I think that should be enough. When checking manually, I am getting the same pressure in the SPA that I used to have before. I am fairly sure it is a...

    How should I inspect the salt cell? Unscrew it on both ends?

    Heater cycles on/off without heating

    For the SPA flow is generally limited to less than 47 GPM but the numbers look a bit different: 3000RPM, 1370 Watt, 40 GPM, 30 PSI at the pump, 21 PSI at the filter or 2500RPM, 814 Watt, 33 GPM, 21 PSI at pump, 16 PSI at filter what is your reading of this? Is the SPA doing better? The...

    I do not When you say suction of 19 PSI is impossible does it mean the small snake part between the pump and filter is blocked?

    PS: i currently have removed the filter cartridges but with cartridges the filter was at 19 PSI

    Heater cycles on/off without heating

    When the keypad pressure is 36PSI (at 3450RPM) the filter pressure gauge shows 17 PSI. This is weird as the filter just sits right after the pump. I'll attach a picture

    All the numbers above are from the keypad including the pressure of 36 PSI

    Heater cycles on/off without heating

    Ok when running over the pump panel in service node i get: 3450 RPM, 36PSI, 2500Watt, 79 GPM does this look normal? I don't get how you get to 40 GPM reading the table above.

    Heater cycles on/off without heating

    Hi I removed the filter cartridges which seem to be quite old and that let's me get up to 76 GPM @3450 RPM. The pressure gauge shows 19 PSI. Still not great, but maybe ok?? Intake restriction is a bit unlikely as I also don't get more GPM when I am taking water from SPA. That would mean both...

    I ran it at 2600rpm. Same problem heater cycles. Intelli touch shows 35 GPM for whatever it worth. I checked all the filters what else could be responsible for a flow issue?

    Heater cycles on/off without heating

    Ok makes sense. I unfortunately cannot measure the flow rate more accurately than via easytouch. I configured it in GPM mode to 100 GPm and the maximum it would do at 3000RPM was 63. I am looking at where the water drains to the equipment and it indeed looks weak to me I would have expected to...

    But i am getting 60 GPM@2800 RPM when bypassing the heater. Isn't this a clear sign that the heater is the issue? - intelliFLO status on easytouch 20 feet Equipment is on ground

    Heater cycles on/off without heating

    With a utility knife and some heavy tools I could remove the thermal regulator. It has green oxidation on it but when putting it under a sink it extended. I don't have a thermostat to see what exact temp I am using. Should I replace it nevertheless?

    Heater cycles on/off without heating

    I checked all filters everything is clean. Then I configured the cleaner to run at 60 GPM and I could reach 60gpm with 2800 RPM. The pipes from the filter outlet directly goes into the heater. I assume that in filter mode the inner bypass of the heater is used and that it permits 60gpm, but in...

    Heater cycles on/off without heating

    Hi you are right with the low flow rate. I actually configured the vsf pump to 50 GPM but it would only manage to do 41gpm at max rpm (i put in a limit at 3000rpm). I have 2 inch pipes everywhere so I would have expected more. I will open the chassis tomorrow and have a look at the thermal...

    Hi All, I have a pentair system with intelliFlo VST and master tem 400. I had to install a nsw subpanel and so needed to wire my pool to a new breaker. Since then the heater act weird it heats very slowly as it continuously turns on and off. Everything else is normal. The pump runs at 3000...
