heater

Hi Everyone, We had extreme weather here in Houston which resulted in my Jandy LXi heater leaking from the return header, I have the part on order but my pumps are off due to the water passing through the heater… I can’t figure out if I have a bypass! Can anyone tell from this photo if there...

In Austin and out of fear of losing power, I pulled all the drains plugs I could, opened the diverters, and allowed the pool equipment to drain as best I could. As I finished unscrewing the drain plug in the heater header, I noticed this metal stick fall into the snow. What is it? Is it in...

Our brand new Pentair heater is broken. We're trying to figure out what could be causing it and if it's a quick fix or we'll need to make a warranty call. We are hoping it is a quick fix, since we're sharing the pool with several other families (with a google calendar so there is no overlap)...

Can't seem to diagnosis this one. Changed the thermister for Error 01 (found on prior thread, THANK YOU), but next start up: tripped a breaker....reset and now the error is back... Below are pictures of the back of the control panel (LED 7 and LED 11 on) and a screen shots of a start up video...

HI! We are getting ready to build our first inground pool. We live in South Jersey. We have been talking to pool companies and getting estimates/ideas. The Pool Store is encouraging us to get a gas heater. Jersey Pools is encouraging us to get a heat pump. We don't know what advice to...

Currently having an issue with my heater. It was running fine last night, went up to 100 degrees, but today it won't heat. When I turn it on, the ignitor kicks on, then immediately turns off. I can hear a subtle beeping and the service heater light comes on. There is no water flow issue as water...

Hey everyone. I just replaced my MasterTemp 400's thermistor in March (old one was reading 126F so was definitely bad) and this one has been working fine all season until this week when the heater started cycling on and off within the span of a few minutes, now down to a few seconds! The temp...

My previous plumber installed my sediment trap about 6 feet away from the inlet of the heater (directly out of the source line). He also installed a regulator/governor and reduced down to 1/2" pipe for a length of about 6ft to my 400k NG raypak heater (the distance from the meter to the...

Hey TFP friends, I powered on my Raypak heater after having my pool replastered. The LCD panel immediately is showing "sensor open". Before draining the pool, I removed both drain plugs, turned off the breaker, turned off the gas, and covered the heater. We had snow here in Colorado over Labor...

Hello TFP! I have an Aquacal heatwave Icebreaker 5302b heat pump for the pool. I haven't gotten it to work the entire year I've been at this house and I'm hoping to get it working so I can extend this season. The issue is that simple, when I turn it on and it starts heating (or cooling)...

Hi All, I have a pool with a Hayward H250 Ed2 heater. It seems the heat exchanger (which I replaced only 3 years ago) is leaking again. I have a couple of questions. 1)If the heater is leaking when the pump is running but the heater is off, does that mean the internal bypass is broken, or is it...

I have a 24’ round pool in Michigan. We’re looking to get a heater and are between the Raypak 156 and 206. I don’t plan on running it constantly, just a few hours on the mornings I know we will swim and water is cold. Does anyone have experience with either? Obviously the 206 is a more expensive...

Hi all, I know this has been discussed in past, but I don't see a resolution in any of the previous posts. My 6 year old Pentair MasterTemp 400HD does not heat after it rains. Blower turns on, heater kicks on and starts working but then shuts off after a few seconds. It then does this 2 more...

Im getting an error code on Screen and cant find what it means. Any help on how to reset or fix is appreciated

I have an older Sta Rite heater.. has worked great the last 7 years. Now, when I turn on the heater, it turns on, shows the current water temp on the LED, the blower comes on but it does not light. It continues for about 30 seconds and then shuts itself off. I thought it might be the igniter so...

I'm looking for a way to automate and/or remotely control my Jacuzzi J-H127C heater. I will preface with I have already emailed Jacuzzi support but am still waiting to hear back. I did not find any info in the product user manual nor searching the interwebs. What I have found though is a line...

New to the Forum but not completely new to pools. Lucky enough to grow up with one in my backyard and Pops had me working on it young. Now that I have moved back into my childhood home with my fiance, I am trying to knock off the dust a bit lol. Im good with cleaning the pumps and filters but...

Hey folks! Hoping to get some clues as to what's up with an older Jandy LXi heater that's not working consistently. Been in my house for about 5 years - pool and equipment came with the house, and was clearly a few years old at that point. Heater outdoors, but in a covered area so it's not...

Hey guys, this season I've been getting an HL2 code on my Raypak 206a heater. I'm aware that this is because the outlet temperature is exceeding 135 degrees Fahrenheit. This happens regardless of the rpm that I set variable speed pump to. However I will note a high pitch squealing sound once the...

Hi! We have an inground pool and spa. We have a Pentair Easy Touch system with the Easy Touch 8 circuit remote control. Here's my problem: The remote and the system won't control the Pentair heater's temperature. For example, if we set the spa temperature to 100F on our remote and turn the...

Hi All, My first post, so I want to start out by thanking this forum for it's help! I tried to find answers, but my questions seems semi-specific. Here goes; I have a in ground 18,000 salt water pool. Its 8 years old and the MasterTemp 400 heater is starting to leak. I'm a certain it's salt...

Hi Guys, I opened my pool for this season last week. Today, I tried to turn the heater on to get ready for the weekend but guess what, the heater did not turn on. I am getting an 'IF' error code on the panel. When I try to turn it on, I hear clicking sounds but I don't feel it is burning the...

Hi, My Pentair Mastertemp 400 goes through its electronic startup routine and then reports a HLS error (and service heater led). My water is circulating normally, my chlorine generator is saying that it is working but the heater stops as quickly as it starts without lighting or blowing. I...

Hi All, hope all is well, finally got round to setting up my pool in the garden and setting up my pump, a question the pressure is around 5 on green but seems to be running slow? ive done back washing etc, and it seems to run faster on recirculate ive looked at the sound levle all ok, and...

My Hayward H250FD gas heater was working perfectly until all of the sudden there was a strong smell of gas. Trying to get it going and it goes through the motions as normal trying to start but just won’t. It’s not giving me any error codes and the service light isn’t on. I’ve only been in...

I think I know the answer to this but hey it’s worth you guys calming me down. I have a Hayward electric heater for my pool. I opened today. Water is 55F. ICE. I turned heater on just to make sure it was working. Gave it about 20 min. Put my hand over the return jet and didnt feel any...

just noticed this afternoon that my pool wasn’t circulating. When I went to the equipment I saw that the pump was on, but water wasn’t Moving through the filter strainer. I also noticed that the heater has a “clean filter strainer” message on it. I opened up the strainer and a couple...

Hi, I have a small in ground pool ... maybe 12-14k gallons. It was built a long time ago and we have no idea how old it is. But I suspect it is quite old. It has one skimmer and two returns on a 1.5" pipe. The pool equipment is very far from the pool, thanks to someone in the past having...

Hi All, Just ordered a new heater to add into my existing system. A Raypak 336k unit. While waiting for the shipping of the heater, I'm trying to brainstorm the best way to plumb it. The heater will sit next to the existing chlorinator where the gas line is as well. Any suggestions?
