    Mystery stain in catch basin

    Thanks for the feedback. I’ll tackle this spring. Plan to remove those tiles pieces and chip away and see how far in I can go before seeing metal/rebar. Plan to follow the staining. I can fully drain the catch basin easily, so will be easier to get into that corner area.

    Mystery stain in catch basin

    Greetings - wondered if anyone might provide clue as to the brown staining in the pictures. I have a catch basin that has plaster and my pool has a pebble tec finish. Don't know why pool builder did it this way. Pool was built in '02 and last summer, I painted the catch basin to address some...

    2nd thoughts about Raypak

    To close the loop on this topic: I had a repair center come out and inspect. They contacted Raypak and were a bit surprised to get authorization for a new board. So, good to know Raypak addressed given heater was installed by one of their dealers and separate dealer did the service of new...

    2nd thoughts about Raypak

    Good point. But assume my previous heater (Pentair Minimax) that was replaced by this Raypak had similar configuration? Meaning, if there is that kind of difference between heater temp sensor and inline sensor, I would have seen that issue previously? Also, can't recall if I mentioned, but...

    The inline sensor is about 1' past the filter basket. See photo. The green casing near the heater is the workaround that houses parts of the 2 temp sensors. @homegame - yes, possible the wires were originally switched. Original installer came back out and corrected that given heater was...

    Thanks for the info. Slowly getting to the root issues. I ordered another temp sensor and replaced yesterday. Same result. The temp was 8-9 degrees warmer. I got another manual thermometer to confirm the actual reading of my Jandy automation. I then hooked up the original temp sensor to...

    Raypak propane heater has wide temperature swing

    I just posted on this same issue. Same model of propane Raypak heater that has a much larger delta (in heat and non heating modes). My heater is only 1 week old and experienced this issue from day 1. I get that there is an expected differential (+/- 2F or so?) and the plumbing, etc are...

    I'm having an issue with a newly installed Raypak digital propane heater (406btu) that replaced an old Pentair model. Unit installed last week by company recommended on Rheem site (not on Raypak which I found out today) as I wanted to ensure the year warranty was honored. Issue is the heater...

    Jandy Controller with Raypak Heater Wiring

    Hello - I replaced an old Pentair MiniMax heater with Raypak yesterday (propane-406k BTU) by local installer. Issues for me is that heater fires every time pool (or spa) is turned on. Only way to kill heat is turning off electrical braker to spa (or power switch on heater). Heater reads...

    Replacing pool/spa heater recommendations...

    Thank you all for the helpful feedback. TFP and this forum is so great for passing along information! As for my current heater, I installed parts (module, new board, and high limit switches) and still no success. Heater is dead and like I said, unit was completely rusted out and time to...

    Replacing pool/spa heater recommendations...

    Hello - I have a Pentair Minimax 400 propane heater installed in 2003. I've had some repairs over the years, but appears the time has come to replace. I am going to try and replace the board and module to see if that fixes the service light along with the high temp limits (about $340). But...

    Trouble with older Jandy Color changing lights

    I replaced LED lights in both the spa (last year - July '18) and my pool this summer (May '19). The Jandy halogen lights are very expensive and I just researched the LED comparable lights online and was able to find LED replacements for both. Lights are fixed and working well.

    Trouble with older Jandy Color changing lights

    I was researching my spa bulb replacement and came across this post. Did you try the LED lights? I have a JandyColors spa light (JSL120100) and the matching pool light. In 2016, I replaced the bulbs (8 of them) and the gasket for a small fortune. So now I have 1 light out again. The bulbs...

    Pool equipment randomly turning on?

    It turns out I had a bad spalink RS. Once I deactivated the spa controller via the lockout function in my One Touch controller, the pool system stopped coming on randomly. Jandy informed me about the lockout function in the controller, as I was looking at the "Spa Link" configuration and there...

    Pool equipment randomly turning on?

    Thanks Paul. I'm embarrassed to admit that I disconnected the 4 pin (red) connector next to the iAqualink 4 pin. I had my air blower coming on at 2AM last night and it went on and off every second. Ran out and placed into service mode until I get this fixed. I just disconnected the black 6...

    Pool equipment randomly turning on?

    I just joined TFP after coming across this post from 2011 that similarly describes my problem. Jandy RS6 spa turns itself on What a great surprise to have this forum to turn to going forward for DIY solutions to my pool issues. My problem is with certain parts of my pool coming on...
