heater

I may be overthinking this, but I'm wondering what to do if you need more pump run time for the heater than you do for the SWG? Without over-chlorinating our pool? I'm thinking with how small ours is (1,600 gal), the pump may need to run a lot longer to heat in the cooler months than what is...

Hello! New pool owner here! I just upgraded my pool equipment from an Aqualogic to an OmniPL. I'm sure I've misconfigured a sensor somehow but I can't figure out which one? My pool and spa share the same pump (brand new Hayward maxflo 500 VS) a when my pool is on the temp is accurate...

My old Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm heater has unfortunately passed on, so it's time for a new one. I live in a pretty rural area with very limited options when it comes to pool supply houses. Most of them only sell hayward. I'm hoping someone in this group can tell me the pricing for a couple of...

We had a (pretty much) all-Hayward system installed several years ago. (This will be the fifth summer.) We've had issues with a number of components in that time, requiring repair/replacement. Recently we've been having an issue with our heater, a Hayward H250FDN. It will occasionally try to...

After my pump and has been off for a while the PVC pipe from my filter to my heater inlet gets noticeably warm to the touch even after the heater has been manually switched off for hours. The pilot is on that side of the heater with the inlet and outlet but the outlet pipe doesn't seem to be any...

I opened the pool about a month ago and everything worked great. Last weekend I noticed thebtemp dropped significantly and it was throwing the IF code. I checked all the stuff on here people were saying to check..orifices, flame sensor, ignitor...I dont smell gas when it tries to light but the...

Posting this hoping it'll help save someone else from a similar headache. Opened the pool this year and the heater (Pentair MasterTemp 400) wouldn't ignite. Blinking "Pool Heating" light for ~30 seconds, click, smelled gas outside, no light. Heater tried this three times and the "Service...

Hi everybody :), I hope you're all doing well! I have a few ideas in mind and need some expert advice on what I should do! I have an AquaLogic P4 with Software Revision 2.65, which I believe, based on what I've read on this forum, can control VSPs. I currently have an old (Hayward / A.O. Smith...

I have an almost new (installed 2021) Raypak above ground heater. I only use it sparingly to get temp up that extra few degrees when having company. I had Leslie's out for diagnostics and they said everything looked great until it shut down (HL2 error) while they were there testing the unit...

We want to purchase and install. I am very diy… There is just soooo much misinformation out there and a thousand threads to read… can some please eli5 what the top few options to buy, that will increase just 5-10 degrees please. Then i will dive deeper into those options later… Very shaded area...

Hello fellow pool people! Issue I’m currently having is that my clients heater (2021 raypak 407 NG w/ an D-2) isn’t firing. (Client states that it’s worked before) but I can seem to place my finger on what’s wrong. I’ve already performed the following; 1. Replaced board 2. Replaced gas valve...

Help! I installed a little wifi switch (a Thermomart DTH101-NP, pictured) (removed jumper, wired two wires out to remote, also pictured) to turn my heater on and off and set a range, which requires you to turn the heater all the way up and then you can set the range on your phone. It's all great...

Hey guy i had an issue with my pool heater today for some reason it stopped working. it is a hayward 500K btu heater. i also have a heat pump for cooling. it was starting to get hot so it tried using the heat pump to see how it would work but it never cut on. they said that your heater had to...

Hi all - my current heater (400K natural gas BTU Jacuzzi, 2013), seems to be done (changed a part 2x and should've put the repair costs towards a new one). My pool is roughly 30,000 gallons in-ground with a hot tub. I'm located in near SF in the East Bay - our area stays a few degrees cooler...

I have a Hayward H400FDN heater that I've had for 10 years and this season it will not ignite. When I turn it on, the blower turns on, runs for a few seconds, then I hear the click it makes when about to ignite, but there's no ignition. The blower keeps blowing and it repeats that cycle two...

Hi, We just tried using our heater and noticed it not kicking on. It's a Raypak P-R407A-EN-C. When I turn it on, I hear a louder click which I guess it he guess valve and then I hear a sparking sound which I believe is it trying to light. I usually smell gas after turning it on. Heater display...

So over the winter mice got into the heater through the blower and FILLED the kettle full of insulation and acorns. It took me a while to determine that's what was going on but when I did I completely disconnected the heater and brought it into the garage. The heater was up against the house...

Heater starts for 2-3 seconds, I can see the flames, then the heater shuts off. If I cycle thru the standby/spa/pool settings then I can get it working for 15-20 seconds max. Orifices are clean. I measured 22V on the valve. My heater doesn't have flame sensor (I wasn't able to find it). Any ideas?

Just had a new Hayward salt chlorinator and Hayward heater installed. Opened pool on Friday. All clear and water looked good. % read 20%. And salt was at 3100. Temp was at 57 degrees. Today got up to 60 so I turned on the heater. % shot up to 65% and I ran it for about ten minutes and the...

I have a 10+ year old Jandy LXI Heater on our pool. In the last year or so it has been acting up, mostly due to age. I have been chasing IGN Control errors for at least 12 months off and on. The heater works just fine when it is lit - no issues with the heat exchanger or water flow. The...

My pool is not that big, 7500 gal and screen enclosure, built during the house construction and did not decide to have a heater. Why? Well, first cost, increase electric usage and never thought would need one in central Florida. Lol I was wrong! I belive the screen helps with the heat I mean...

Hello everyone, I live in Northern Canada where temperatures, even in summer, are not always hot. Due to this, I am looking for information on getting a electric pool heater. I have no NG and electricity in my region is subsidized, so power consumption is not a big concern. Most importantly, I...

I am not a pool guy, but have a lot of knoledge of home heating systems. I have a Pentair MasterTemp 400 heater that sometimes fails to start up properly. The process is you can hear it start up, the blower motor turns on, the gas valve clicks open, the heater lights (you can feel hot air out...

We have a Jandy handheld remote and Jandy heater. We are able to turn the heater on from the remote but it’s defaulting to the temp set at the heater and not on the remote. This was confirmed with an independent thermometer tonight in spa mode, I’m assuming the same happens in pool mode. Any...

Hello Amazing TFP people. Weird issue with the heater that I am still scratching my head on... I think this is intermittent, which makes me think electrical or component related.... In the past few months, if I went to turn on the heater in the Aqualink app, the heater would come on in the app...

Hello - I am troubleshooting an issue with my Pentair heater to determine if a repair is possible. The heater seems to have lost communication with both the wall-mounted controller (in the house) and the iAqualink app. Starting the heater from the controller or the app looks like it's working...

Hi all, I'm trying to get my Raypak heater connected to my intellicenter but am having some problems. It seems as though both the gas and electric terminals on the intellicenter's circuit board are in a always on configuration. I'm wondering if there's some setting someplace in the software to...

Haven't ran the heater all summer. Unsure of the age but everything inside is very clean and all the rubber tubing and other components still look brand new. After trying it last week, it fired right up, and then after about 3 minutes it turned off and the service heater light came. I took the...

Hi y'all, I have a Pentair system connected via ScreenLogic. The spa temp was set to 104, but the app showed 108 as the final temp, and I believe it was at that temp. Any thoughts on why the app would continue heating past the set point? Thanks.

First, yes I know it is very old and yes I know I should replace it, lol. I have an old Jandy Lite2 heater (model LJ400N) getting a brown out error code FL5. I have run thru all the troubleshooting, all voltages seem correct. Incoming voltage reads 247.3V between A & B. The power conversion...
