    Collapsed pvc into and out of heater

    It does not have an external bypass and I would say its about 4 feet higher than the pool surface. Here is the setup of the pool piping.

    Collapsed pvc into and out of heater

    Thanks. I will try to remember to get everyone to do that going forward. Would the temp sensor not cause the heater to stop heating once it reaches 90 and just slowly cool down and on, or does it get that hot sitting there?

    Collapsed pvc into and out of heater

    Here is the wiring. Bottom right wires are the heater, bottom left wires are the pump and far left is the SWG. Everything turns on by the timer. We use the manual switch on the heater to turn it on and off, but it doesn't get power unless the timer is on.

    Collapsed pvc into and out of heater

    Raypak R406A NG heater. No automation. It’s on the same timer as the pump and we just manually turn it on when we’re going to use it. Can’t think of a time we would of had the heater on and not the pump, maybe pump was on but clogged. Guess I’ll be more careful and make sure heater is always...

    Collapsed pvc into and out of heater

    Not sure what caused this. Happed a few days ago. Haven’t ran the heater in months. Easy fix putting in new pipe, but not sure how to prevent it from happening again. Any ideas?

    Loud pitch noise from new IntelliFlo Pump

    Sorry didn’t get notified of a reply. No leak anywhere. So I went ahead and turned off the pump that night, didn’t want to damage it and was getting dark. Next day I went to get video of it turning on. And the noise never came back. It’s been running fine ever sense. But the weird thing is...

    Loud pitch noise from new IntelliFlo Pump

    I bought a IntelliFlo Variable Speed Pump - 011028 in late March. Installed it myself, as it was pretty much straight replacement. Everything has worked great and been happy with my upgrade, until today it started to have a very loud pitch noise while running. Here is a video of the noise ...

    New Raypak Heater ignition failure

    Actually just got fixed yesterday. We got a new meter installed and it fired up right away. Our meter was rated at 380k btu and they installed 1 million btu meter. I just supplied all the gas appliances and usage we had and that’s what they recommended. Installed for free from AGL.

    New Raypak Heater ignition failure

    Thanks. Did about 7-8 cycles and kept getting the same results. Last cycle I left it trying to ignite for 10 min to see if anything changed and no dice. Guess I’ll find a gas guy. Thanks for the tips.

    To Cycle it, I should just keep following the start up instructions? If you had to guess, how many cycles would need to be done?

Pretty straight forward install do to everything lining up easily and I did it myself. It’s been running with...

    Checking on new Heater placement

    I'm taking on replacing our heater. I removed the old Raypak heater that was more to fix than replace. Once removed the old pad was cracked pretty well. It was one of those 1 inch over foam pads. So I poured a bigger pad that was larger and thicker than the old path. Now that I have the heater...

    Re-Plumbing Pool Questions

    We currently bought a new heater (NG Raypak) and Pool Pump (IntelliFlo Variable Speed Pump) and I thought this would be a good time to re-plumb all of the piping. I want to remove an old chlorination and move the SWG to be after the heater. I also bought a few new check values and 3 way vales...

    Help removing broken laterals

    Hello, Im not sure how to move forward in replacing 2 broken laterals on my Hayward S244S sand filter (https://www.hayward-pool.com/pdf/manuals/ProSeries-S210S-S244S.pdf). I removed all the sand and can access the laterals. They can rotate to face upwards and seems you can't just remove one but...
