Hi,
I have an inground pool and in ground spa. However, since I've not used the heater for a while, the heater is not working after a long time not being used. What I notice is that the pilot light is working, however, the rest of the heater elements (if I said this correctly) are not fired up. Here is the picture of the area that I'm talking about inside the heater. As you can see, there seems like a valves and it does open the gas to the pilot light, but there is no gas coming out into the big metal pipe which house the many nozzles to spray the gas out the the bottom. Please give me some instruction on how to fix this, and if I have to replace the valve, how do I do it safely and what tools do I need to have. I notice that both ends of the pipes going into that valve are threaded, but I have idea how to open the pipe. THanks.[attachment=0:1w4spuju]pool gas heater.jpg[/attachment:1w4spuju][attachment=0:1w4spuju]pool gas heater.jpg[/attachment:1w4spuju]
