    Heater Problem.

    Re: Pentair minimax ch Heater Problem. same problem, same heater; haven't had anyone out to look at it yet; I cleaned off the terminals of the pressure switch after reading this post, and tried to fire it up...no luck. Frustrated, so, like in the movie Armageddon (the cosmonaut, remember) I...

    Updated - Hayward H400 Series heater problems - Help!

    We thought it had something to do with the fan, because when we replaced the hoses, it would work fine.....for a while. We had a tech out, who said the wiring was wrong on the unit when installed. It was shutting off when the pump turned off (it should have stayed on and had the fan cool it)...

    Updated - Hayward H400 Series heater problems - Help!

    My heater (same model) does the same things. We replaced the water pressure switch, the circuit board and the hoses on the fan. The gas pressure was checked and was fine. Igniter is fine, you can watch it ignite; We are not sure where to go from here either. Like you (and other hayward...

    Heater and Vinyl Fence Question

    The vinyl coat is subject to melting with high temperatures (it is only manufactured to withstand normal temperature swings, including standing in the hot summer sun). The heat shield will have to be spaced off the fence, otherwise the vinyl will melt to the shield.

    Robo for super fine sediment

    We have the T4Rc and love it; it gets fine sediment to a few microns. We take the bag out after we take the unit out of the pool, turn it inside out, and clean it by spraying with a high pressure hose nozzle. Keeps the bag clean, and the pool stays really clean, too.

    What Cleaner is Compatable w/ Aqua Genie?

    I have a Aquabot Turbo T4 RC. Other than occasionally getting stuck on the main drain, it cleans the floor and sides (all the way up to the water line!) well. I have only used the RC feature a couple of times when I wanted it clean quickly before company. We built a 75' lap pool, with only two...

    Pool Fence requirement for LA county.

    Kids love water, even when it is not hot out. Kids have no understanding of the danger. The whole idea is that a child should not be able to squeeze through the pickets (the 4" apart on verticals--portion of the code), or should not be able to step on the bottom rail of the fence and "leg" or...

    Stray current???

    When we decided to build an inground pool, we called the utility marking service to mark all of the underground utilities to determine if we had any lines in the way that would have to be moved. They came out and marked, all utilites were on the east side of the property. Then we had to move...

    Hayward 250 Electronic Start pipe sizing

    GADawgfan: did your new circuit board work? After we repaired the hoses to the fan, ours ran for a few hours, but not the next day. Think I'm heading toward a circuit board, but wanted to know how you did with yours. Thanks!

    Problem with a Hayward 400ILDL2 model

    Re: Hayward H400 Ignition Failure Great news! I was about to order the circuit board, but decided to check and clean them; then took the top off the heater. The blower fan is at the top and low and behold....the two flexible hoses to the blower were so dried out (only 3 yrs old) they were like...

    Problem with a Hayward 400ILDL2 model

    Re: Hayward H400 Ignition Failure Thanks for the reply! I read in the piping reply that your control worked a couple of days, then your whole unit died? What happened? What did the parts company say? (wrong part? short? ...like you, hate to compound any non-investment or problem). Thanks!

    Hayward H350 problems

    See "Hayward 400 Ignition Problems"....I was lucky to find this post after trouble shooting most of the heater. It sounds like the Haywards are good for one or two years, then the electronic controls are shot. Like in the other post, mine was fine, then had trouble changing the temp, then temp...
