I have replaced the ignitor, and will spark and run for 5 sec or so before the error appears after three tries. I am leaning toward a total replacement seeing that seems to be consensus

I did some more checking trying to locate the fenwal box and have attached some pics. The only thing I can come up with is the board. I can’t come up with any other boxes or anything else to take apart unless I am missing something. Thanks again

Gotcha, I will disassemble a bit tomorrow & take a look. I tend to agree with a replacement heater especially if the box is very pricy. But worth checking into. Thanks again

Hello, I just checked for the flashing L.E.D light when trying to start my pool heater. The red L.E.D next to the word pool stays illuminated. The only thing that flashes is the red error code IF. Thanks in advance

Yes, this is the manual i have. I will check on a flashing l.e.d tomorrow and reply back. Thanks for the info about the 500mv. I assumed it applied to the electronic as well.

I have an electronic ignition. I am not familiar with the Fenwal box? i did replace the the ignitor. Thanks!

Hello everyone. I am really struggling to find help to diagnose my 18 yr old Hayward H250 ED2 natural gas pool heater. I am getting the IF error code after the standard trying three times to light. We use our heater a whole lot. We also used it starting out this pool season until I started...

oops, gotcha, I'll check that this evening. Do you think I need to raise my TA?? I really appreciate all of your help! - - - Updated - - - I'm not sure about a borate level?? If I raise my TA after dropping my PH will a higher TA make the PH more stable?? Thanks for all of your help!

Thank you for the response. I just checked the TA after about 3/4" of rain this afternoon and it is 60 today

Hi, I've been a BBB customer for a couple of years now and it is going great but I'm battling a rising PH level I can add acid to get it down to 7.6 and it gets it in check, but after 10 days or so I go back to 8.0 plus. I add acid and repeat the process. My TA levels stay pretty constant at 70...

Thank you for the advice. I have the same gut feeling. I'll raise FC and do the overnight test to be sure.

Hi, I'm in my 2nd yearr of trouble free pool and just opened today. FC = 4; CC = 0; PH = 7.6; TA = 80 & CYA = 50. This seems to be where I settled out last year. I did bring up to shock when I closed and other numbers good My FC was 11 or so when I closed up last fall. My water looks good but I...

Makes sense, thank you for the feed back

Hello, I'm new new TFP this season but everyone has been a tremendous help. Stabilizer is down and have gotten away from tablets completely and been using bleach and liquid chlorine. I have been told I can use the proper dosage of Cal Hypo (65%) directly into skimmer for my chlorine as well. Any...

New to the BBB method and TFP but have gained alot of ground in this pool season. I was wanting to see if an apr. 2PPM FC loss per day is an acceptable range?? I get about 6-7 hours full full sun. My current levels are FC 5 PH 7.6 TA 100 CYA 70. I'm using liquid chlorine and reg. bleach. Just...

Hi, I was needing some advice on lowering PH. After 5 partial drains my CYA is finally down to 70, FC 5, TA 110 and PH has been slighty increasing but has leveled off at 8.0. I've never used muratic acid so I'm a little nervous about my vinyl liner. I've seen various you tube video's where some...

I'm in the process of doing partial drains in order to get stabilizer levels under control. How long should I wait before I conduct new tests after I've re-filled, 12hrs....24hrs?? Thanks in advance! andersonsa

Received the Taylor k-2006 yesterday. Ph-7.5 TA -129. Calcium - 250, FCC - 0, CC -0, CYA - 200 min. ( used the 50/50 advice from earlier posts). Due to some schedule conflicts it's going to be a week or before I can start the partial drain/ refill to lower the CYA. Did partial drains a week...

Have not drained since I did the three 1/2 drains / refills (anymore and my liner wants to start floating on the shallow end) a week or so ago although lots of rain in the area causing me to pump out some and vacumming on waste and filling back up. Waiting on the k-2006 test kit to arrive to get...

Hi, I have my Taylor K-2006 test kit on the way. However I decided to go ahead and start the slam just to see what numbers I am getting with the strips allthough I know they are not the best. I dumped 85-90 oz of Cal Hypo on Sat night but did not get my level test afterward. Tested before any...

Thanks for the advice and the info on the FC above 5. Will look at another partail drain soon. - - - Updated - - - Will be ordering a test kit this weekend. Could this algea be present even if the water looks fantastic??

I'm having trouble getting chlorine to stick around. I have an 18,311 gal vinyl inground. I have been using the dichlor/ trichlor tablets in a feeder for the last several years (before I found you guys!!)and created a huge CYA number, I have drained close to 1/2 the pool 3 times and have gotten...

Thank you! I appreciate your help and the welcome. This is new to me so I'm sure I'll a more questions come up.

I have been using cal hypo the last week or to chlorinate due to stabilzer being high. I have drained 1/2 three times and it is lower but still 130 or so. The Cal Hypo is pushing my PH up so I was thinking about using bleach. Is it safe to do so now after I have used Cal Hypo for the last...
