I have a Mastertemp 400 pool and spa heater. It does 1 of 2 things currently:
1) Reads in the inlet temperature in the 90s, water is likely in the 70s. Heater will kick on and heat for about a minute before the temperature rises to 126 rapidly and kicks off the heater
2) When turned on the water temperature shows above 104 so it will not kick the heater on
I ordered a thermostat, a high limit switch, and thermal regulator. All independently did not resolve the issue, same exact things would happen. My parents have the same heater and it is working fine, so I tested the new thermostat, works as it should. Tested my control panel on their heater, works as it should. Tested my wires that go from the thermostat to the control panel on their heater and it works as it should.
Does anything else read the temperature from the incoming water? Am I missing something? I am stumped.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
