Thanks. For the loop around the pool was it about 12” away from the pool?

Looking to bond my above ground pool. Because it is all resin except the shell, I have read on this site that you only need to connect to the seem. So I will run the copper line from the seem to the equipment and branch off and connect the pump, heater and anode. Correct? Two questions. 1. Do...

Thanks for the info and links. I have no corrosion like that around the pool. I have an all resin above ground pool, the only metal is the shell. I will still have it bonded at the seem. Thanks again

Had an above ground pool installer in today and he said that the pool isn’t bonded. I had no idea. He mentioned this can cause Galvanic Corrosion, rapid corrosion of any metal parts. Is it possible this has also damaged my pool heater?

I’m going to ck these numbers and the incoming gas pressure. Thank you.

Pentair sends the tech in and then the tech says the heater has a manufacturer defect. I can dissemble the heater to a certain point, what are you asking me to do? I can get the numbers you are asking for when I open the pool.

Thanks for the tips and info. My water chemistry is similar to yours but my chlorine levels are a lot lower and my salt is at 3100. The usage is likely 3-5 hours a day as I have a shady backyard. So the total time will add up through the season, I don’t think it’s too much though. There is a...

Thanks. The water temp is set to about 84F. So if never dips below 74F ish when the pool is open. Don’t think that would do it. A heater a season is crazy. Is your pool salt or chlorine?

Zoomed in picture with broken bits

Here is a better picture. Yes the gas tech said the pressure was good.

Hi. Thank you for your response. I tried to upload higher res but it doesn’t let me go higher than 1MB. I’ll try to do better. Those last two pics are from the last failure. In the one picture you can see some rust staining on the drum and a broken seal. And the first picture you can see the...

Thank you. Pictures posted below my thread.

It’s a Pentair 1hp pump runnning 50 feet away from the pool at 14-16 hours a day.

The last two pictures are fom the most recent failure. I was told it was a combustion issue. As you can see the white thing pops off because the heater makes a loud noise and then stops working. The heater then says an error code for the ignition.

Here is my set up. The pump is a 1hp and runs approx 14-16 hours a day on a timer. The system comes in at 7am and the heater will kick in if needed. Usually as I’m in canada and nights are cooler. I do not have a sacrificial anode, which I hear could help? It is an above ground 25,000 litre pool.

Thanks. I appreciate the advice. I have a Pentair master temp 125 and a Pentair intellichlor SWG. I never put pucks in the skimmer and do have a back flow valve before the chlorinator and get my water tested at the same store since day one. They use the pucks that spin in that machine to get the...

Hello. I’m new to the forum and looking forward to getting some honest advice. I have had a 25,000 litre above ground pool since 2020. But it has been a struggle with me breaking heaters. The first heater went after two years (heat exchanger) and they warrantied the heater and then installed a...
