    Skimmer Basket Liner: Loving them!

    I live in an area where we have a lot of stuff falling out of the sky and into the pool, particularly the cotton from cottonwood trees nearby. In the past this stuff is sucked into the filtration system and gathers on the cartridge filter. It can even germinate on the side of the filter. For a...

    MasterTemp

    Finding it difficult to locate a 300K BTU heater I brought in my gas contractor and he told me my service would support the 400K unit. He will do the gas connection and replace the regulator valve. I was able to find the unit on Amazon and they offered me a three year warranty. I will respond...

    I am replacing my MasterTemp 300KBTU heater. Can you suggest a thread about this and the virtues of DIY versus "Certified" installation along with warranty implications?

    I am using an EasyTouch 8. It's also vintage 2007. I have the EasyTouch Wireless Control Panel but when the mother board in the panel went bad and I replaced it the Wireless Control would no longer communicate with it.

    MasterTemp 400 Service Heater Light On Heater Cycling

    I did a bit of exploration with a screwdriver and found that the cover for the heater, 42001-0214S, as you suspected, is toast. Thank you for your help in this matter. Pictures were very helpful for getting to the bottom of the problem as you know! I did check on the part and it's no longer...

    MasterTemp 400 Service Heater Light On Heater Cycling

    The combustion chamber is solid. The corrosion on the lid is superficial and could be removed. We seem to have narrowed this down to an issue with the flame sensor circuitry. Since I am understanding that the igniter is part of the flame sensing circuit, and I've just replaced the igniter, would...

    The tub is dry as a bone, no water came out when I removed the bolt. Is it possible that when I installed the igniter the gasket didn't seat properly? It ran for two days before this problem arose. I checked out the two videos of the heater core replacement. This components appear in much better...

    I installed the ground wire between the flange and one of the flange screws as pictured in the first two photos with no change.

    I have observed the red LED on the Fenwall box when firing up the heater. The fan comes on and the flame is lit. Then the heater shuts down and the red LED blinks three times. I measured the DCVoltage across the FC terminals and found it to fluctuate around 1.75 VDC. I installed the additional...

    MasterTemp 400 Service Heater Light On Heater Cycling

    Hi, my 2007 MasterTemp 400 has worked fine all summer. My cover broke in the closed position and the pool wasn't used for 4 weeks but I kept the pump running with the heater off. When the cover was repaired I turned the heater on and it brought the pool up from 62º to 79º and then shut down...

    Keeping leaves out of the Automatic Pool Cover Vault

    After closing the pool after the end of the season we close the automatic cover until the next season. Leaves collect on the cover and we use our leaf blower to remove them. Some leaves always blow into the gap between the pool deck and the cover drum during windy days. I have discovered a...

    Unknown Fiber Optic Rope Lighting

    I have this system. When I bought the house only the rope lights worked but there are also fountains with lights. The fountain lights didn't work, the tower for the fountain had been bastardized for parts to make the rope light work. There was a pool guy who came to fix a broken backwater valve...
