    help with stains and diagnosis

    Yes, i probably should not have put that ladder in. It is a pool ladder from Doheny that was expensive a bunch of years ago but we preferred the Intex one when the kids were little. Now they are teens and some of the friends are BIG kid-adults and that Intex ladder is pretty shakey and narrow...

    Can I "open" my pool on my own -- Pentair Mastertemp Natural Gas Heater

    Update -- i was not up to trying to do electrical testing. Finally got on pool service guy's schedule -- they came out today and apparently there was a rodent nest and damage to wires, including the ignition wire. Heater works (I think -- my kid is having a pool party so I can't mess with it...

    ajw — thanks. I will re-watch the video I posted as it showed the guy doing that. I will need to go to a store and ask what that tool is, then get one. Thanks again.

    Can I "open" my pool on my own -- Pentair Mastertemp Natural Gas Heater

    Thanks, b.lu for trying to get help for me — I am sure I will need to wait until a day or so after the holiday …. People who know about pools are enjoying their pools, as they should. I just have time to look at it this weekend so I am posting while I can, but do not expect or want anyone to...

    Can I "open" my pool on my own -- Pentair Mastertemp Natural Gas Heater

    Okay, so I found this video of a guy troubleshoooting his master temp with afs issue. I watched it and guess I can start down his trouble shooting path … BUT his unit went on despite the service heater light being on …. He was able to feel the blower sucking, etc. Mine does not do anything at...

    Can I "open" my pool on my own -- Pentair Mastertemp Natural Gas Heater

    Okay, looks like AFS light with service heater light can mean air flow issue. Saw suggestions to check for mouse nest in blower. You have no idea how much i do not like the idea of a mouse next anywhere in my zip code. But i want this thing to work, so i looked by taking off the vented black...

    Can I "open" my pool on my own -- Pentair Mastertemp Natural Gas Heater

    Better photos. One with light on and one with power off to hopefully be able to read the labels better. I do see that the LED11 just means the service heater light is on. So it is the other one I am trying to figure out.

    Can I "open" my pool on my own -- Pentair Mastertemp Natural Gas Heater

    Ignore my Last two posts above — here is what I should have posted: 1. Gas switch inside pool heater unit is “on” (and was to begin with, I changed nothing there) 2. water pressure switch is in place and purple wires are attached (and was to begin with, I changed nothing there) 3. Gas line...

    Can I "open" my pool on my own -- Pentair Mastertemp Natural Gas Heater

    Opened up the panel opposite the one I had previously. Found the on/off switch for gas to unit (as i understand it) — it was on “on“ position, so that is not the issue. No clue on water pressure switch. Where would i find that? Here is inside the unit where the on/off switch is. … should the...

    Can I "open" my pool on my own -- Pentair Mastertemp Natural Gas Heater

    b.lu -- thanks. i think you are right that I took off the wrong panel. I had not realized there was more than one. It is raining now but when it clears off I will do what you suggested and see what happens when I just try to use it per normal. I am hoping they did not remove the water...

    ajw22 -- thanks so much for all of that, especially letting me know an explosion is not likely. Yay!! I will try to get it going tomorrow morning if it is not raining. I kept thinking that they usually left me a little bag of goodies, some from pump and some from heater. I have no idea where...

    Can I "open" my pool on my own -- Pentair Mastertemp Natural Gas Heater

    1. Am I correct that i need to hand-turn the red knob thing in the green circle to “open” by turning it so the wings line up with rather than cross the pipe? 2. I do not see the toggle switch in the picture of the inside of the heater. I suppose it could be behind the instructions hanging...
