    Create a delayed turn ON for my heater - Intellitouch

    This is the opposite of what everyone else normally asks about how to turn off the delay. I want to create a delay (the same as the pool cleaner delay) before the heater turns on in the intellitouch/screenlogic software. After 2 years of monitoring the heater behavior (Mastertemp 400) as we...

The motorized valves are operating ok and I noticed that there seems no power to the heater. I can't see...

    Copper Issue from heater.

    I'll try to keep it short. I have some large areas of staining that I suspected were from copper. My suspicions are driven by the kids hair constantly turning green, as well as a spot test of a vitamin-c tablet having black color reaction with the stains before eventually disappearing. I...

    heater over temperature

    Island spas (2016 model) Symptoms are similar to others listed in other posts, but also a little different. Cycles set to 2. Each runs for 2 hours. Temp set to 101° from cold start up everything seems fine. But, the temperature will overshoot setpoint and ultimately reach 107° before...

    Thoughts about stagnant water in the heater when bypassed?

    I notice a lot of people prefer to have bypass valves plumbed with their heaters so they can bypass the heater when not in use because, they say, it prolongs the life of the heat exchanger and because the pump uses less energy to move the same amount of water without the heater being in the...

    Hey everyone! New pool owner here. Bought a house with an existing 33k gallon in-ground pool with a Pentair Mastertemp 300 which has been working flawlessly for almost two seasons that I've owned it until I decided to clean it and I messed things up royally.

    Recommended Calcium Hardness (CH) with Heater

    Newish pool owner here, recently went through my first SLAM (clorine dropped due to SWG issue and I didn't catch it). I had been a bit lax in testing and things got away from me. I'm now being more diligent about testing, possibly bordering on OCD behavior. (I live in North Texas and up until...

    thinking about increasing CH

    I’m thinking about increasing CH to 150, 175, or maybe even 200 to perhaps help the heater (see thread here) and also move CSI closer to 0.0 (even though pool is vinyl) Current tests: FC: 5 CC: 0 PH: 7.5 TA: 90 CH: 110 CYA: 55 (greater than 50, but less than 60 - may bump to 70 some day)...

    Raypak r406a won't spark

    Our Raypak 406a stopped working at the end of last season, but I figured better to wait to reopen to fix it. Basically as soon is it calls for heat, the SPK code shows (occasionally flashing with CFH and/or CLK), but rather than hearing the clicking at the pilot, I hear it at the PC board (seems...

    Heater trouble

    Hello, I have a Raypak RP2100 heater. It's old (18 years!!) so maybe its time has come. But before I jump to that, here's the deal: I opened my pool 2 weeks ago. The heater started up fine, no issues. I ran it for maybe 30-60 minutes, just to make sure it was running fine. For the next...
