You should get a HI led after the "boot" and then an E02 error once it has tried to fire. But it will never get to the point of tuning on gas. High limit thermostate is on the heaters' inlet/outlet manifold. http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/MiniMaxNTOM.pdf Page 33, Item 16

Well, its prolly inbetween the the liner and the shield. So hammering will only crush it, and or drive it through the liner. I would get an underwater patch kit, and cut it out before it surprises you as a leak.. but then there's "aint broke don't fix it" too. Story I heard was a carpet...

You mention that you have a Nature 2 Pro G 45K installed but not used anymore. It's not plumbed to bypass the filter is it?

If its not the sensor its self its mostlikely the termistor. If the heater fires and runs for a minute then kicks off due to high heat, its the thermistor. (a simple thermostat like in your car) its just not opening and the manifold temp is getting too high. If it gets a high temp error and...

Ya yellow algae is like cancer, if you don't get it all it will come back. After it looks gone, make sure to check the gaskets, grills, clean the filters. ... and the pump lid/basket why they make em clear now I have no idea. Just makes the perfect little incubator when the pump is off.

only thing I see there is you have a heater by-pass line, and when its open your feeder won't work properly, since it depends on the pressure differential of the inlet/outlets of the heater to work. Also there's no check valve on the heater outlet preventing reverse flow in the heater when the...

I know that our pools with child fences around them stay amazingly clean. Most depris from wind is pushed across the deck into the pools, with a child fence it doesn't get in and this is just a 5 foot high screen mounted 3 feet from the water edge. If the fence doesn't touch/seal to the deck...

ya WD-40 should never touch anything rubber / plastic / fiberglass in a pool. (Though it has a place in the tool box for sweaky filter tank nuts) I LOVE silicone spay, I personally use a food grade silicone made by RDS. It lubricates very well. But it must be used with experience; since like...

Hello all, Got board on a sunday morning and had some work things tweaking my head so in the search of those I found you guys! Well I've been in the construction / service for about 10 years now. Practicing the task in the Palm Springs CA area. Worse place on earth for the business. It's 110...

Its not the cell, that error is a board specific error. Should read "no power to give to cell" lol There is an issue with the Aqua Logics, if your underwarrany in the 1st year call it in, its a free fix. If not the couplerate is a bad solder joint on the main board. Its a well known issue...

Grats! Be surprised what that issue does with all types of filters. They all have an air bleed generally witha screen on top.. screen fails and all of a sudded theres leaves in the t-cell, and spa's are filling up with sediment.

Well I don't know what your climate is like but I have a feeling if you left a class of water outside for the spring it would have evaporated. I would bet you have an autofill, though be it hard to find. Only adding when backwashing is consistant, because an autofill will not compensate for...

Ya, whenever I treat a green pool or a pool with suborn algae issues, I always remove the lights so the area in the nitch can be treated. Also inspect the light and gasket, green algae loves to grow there. If i see any algae issues on the gaskets I replace them and the bulbs while Im at it...

Good point a leaking shaft seal will dry out the bearing, and make it hard for the motor to start. Which is a better diagnosis, because like I said generally run caps don't get weak they just fail. But I figured the high pitch whine of the motor would have been mentioned. =P When the motor...

:shock: Unless you've had 100% humidity you can count on having about 1/4-1/2 an inch a day in evaporation in tempatures >80 degrees. Many homeowners don't realize thier pool has an autofill, it's just that other skimmer lid that they never look under. Or some pools have electronic levelors...

Dunno if your system has a view port for back washing or not, but when you backwash does it run clear eventually or do you constantly see an amount of sand passing by? If you do your total aggregate level in the filter is to high. If it runs clear but you consistanly get sand dumping in the pool...

Do you have an auto-fill that keeps the water and the proper level or do you have to manualy add water to compesate for evaporation? If you have an autofill you wouldn't notice a loss in water.

Doubt this needs mentioned but the gravel needs to go in 1st, and then the sand added. If not the gravel will just sit ontop of the sand raising the media level higher than its designed for.

I skimmed over the posts, fogive if it's been covered. But have you done a leak test? The amount of chemical you've put in your pool would have easily cleared any body of water that isn't being diluted.

How do your copper levels compare to your tap water? If the CYA wasn't destroyed, it left your pool. Do a leak check. The process is prolly done in detail here somewhere but I'm new so I'll do a fast one. 1) Place weight in a bucket brick or something. 2) Place the bucket on your 1st step in...

Looks like your CYA has diluted down, need to get those levels up. But overall it looks like you have really fine soil in your area, so fine that your filter may not catch it. If you've been running your pump 24/7 since this happend and there's not been anything to stir up the settled matter...

Sounds like you have a massive leak. How much water do you remove from the pool on a regular basis? Water should really only be removed to correct high levels of contant chemicals ie CYA. Sounds like you adding a huge amount of chlorine to the water, if you have high CYA levels you shouldn't...

No, pump baskets are designed to give the pump the flow it needs yet screen out the stuff that could get stuck in the impeller. Your filter is the componet to remove the small particles from the water.

You can keep your pool from going green while you wait on your pump repair. I would get a couple tab floaters, and put one in each "body" of water spa etc if seperate. These by design will distribute choloring quasi evenly just from drifting around. But if your service man has an extra porta...

Sounds like your run / start capacitor is weak and failing. It's that buldge on the motor, or sometimes in the rear housing. The pump should be turned off until it's replaced. If the motor is allowed to "buzz" it will damage the armature since it's getting all the normal current but has no...

hmm I like to see pools that can have a full turn over in 6-8 hours. Your filter is the single most critical componet in your pool sanitation. If your pool has poor circulation yet proper chemical balance, the oxidized biologicals will simply settle in the bottom of the pool and stay until...

As a pool professional I would never put tabs of anykind on a pool surface fiberclass or plaster. On occation we've put them on the anti-vortex covers where there is no risk of them moving off but that practice is watched very carfully and only to sanitize the joints of the cover where normal...

Well its not the GFI if the pool was wired proplerly if it's kicked all the lights in the pool will be off. If the pool light in question can be turned on seperatly from the other lights in the pool it may be the low voltage relay that the equipment uses to turn on/off the high voltage. These...

FYI: Once your pool has its proper salt level. It will only drop if something is removing the water from the pool. LEAKS. Saline System ppm displays always register lower salt as they get dirty, this is because they use the condictivity of the water to establish the salt content, but the cell...
