    I’ll put in on paper. I think I’m right under 30 equivalent just estimating in my head.

    Hayward Heater - Gas Valve - Why Do These Fail?

    It’s one inch pipe for sure. I’ll measure OD properly but that would mean 1.315.

    Hayward Heater - Gas Valve - Why Do These Fail?

    Believe 1.0 inch black pipe, OD would be the 1.315 I think. I am using a tape measure and I thought it was 1.5 or close to it. But I know it’s 1 inch pipe.

    I’ll try to get specifics and post on all these. Thanks. Some of these questions are outside my knowledge base at moment. I’ll see what can figure out.

    Hayward Heater - Gas Valve - Why Do These Fail?

    Have been talking with some people here locally who work with gas appliances - more than one person commented “they’ve been messing with the gas lines so much” - and they theorized moisture in the lines. For what little that’s worth. We also had massive flooding in our area when this went out...

    Hayward Heater - Gas Valve - Why Do These Fail?

    Diagnosed by generally gas going in but nothing going to manifold. Again, since has been asked several times, voltage was correct.

    Hayward Heater - Gas Valve - Why Do These Fail?

    I followed the troubleshoot to a T. We went through everything on the flow chart from Hayward. Voltage was correct. It just wouldn’t open.

    Hayward Heater - Gas Valve - Why Do These Fail?

    I have recently replaced the gas valve on my Hayward Heater. The solenoid just failed. I cannot find any major literature on why these fail. This may be a dense question and I am asking more out of my own curiosity. This was a 4 year old valve. Any idea generally why these fail?

    Went from 41.5 to about 28 in a few hours with good sun.

    SLAM Issue

    Passed at 43 FC AND .5 cc this am. Meeting all 3 I believe at this point. Today would be day 6. Lesson learned - do not let the cover and box develop so badly. My son and I have a process down on the box now, involves spraying a hose from the end where the motor sits and spraying (post-scrub...

    SLAM Issue

    I get it. Appreciate the insight. This has just been a weird slam. It’s fought back hard. I hope I’m right that the cover was the main issue. Wanted to prioritize not falling below the level.

    SLAM Issue

    I wasn’t going to be here today to test periodically. That’s why. Just a combo of being gone all day and the cover stuff being cleaned out. Have been experiencing huge fc loss all week hour to hour. Was thinking would fall below 28 while I was gone.

    SLAM Issue

    It was in the low 30s and this morning I threw in three bottles, thinking I was having a lot of pushback. I don’t think I waited the requisite time to allow the liquid to circulate. I have been hovering around 30 the entire slam. My first addition didn’t seem to increase anything - you have to...

    SLAM Issue

    Got 43 FC and 0 CC on my pm test. No additions since this am and really only a smidge of UV hit it since 10 am or so. Was at 42 earlier (twice). Silly q: would 41 in the am be considered a likely pass? The pm test was 85 - 86 drops at 10 ml. That’s a lot of drops.

    SLAM Issue

    Opened the cover about 6 and waited about 20 mins to test - got 42 Fc and .5 cc. Maybe saw a couple small spots that were questionable.

    SLAM Issue

    It’s at 42 as of 10 am. Need to let water circulate more before testing after an addition.

    I’ve dosed it well - won’t be here during the day so honestly I’m shutting my cover.
