Hi need your guys help please.
I have been noticing a very potent smell from the pool heater when it is heating, which I originally thought was gas but the more I smell it the more it smells like some burning plastic or something like that...
The original symptoms before the smell got bad was the system struggling to ignite but eventually coming on and heating. At some point I got an error on the heater which my research indicated was the thermal cut-off fuse going bad.
I replaced it and the error is gone and the pool heater is turning on fine, but the smell is as bad as ever.
I also opened up all the exhaust pipes to make sure nothing is clogin it up and it seemed pretty clean.
From the outside of the house where the trap is, I am seeing thicker than usual clouds coming out (which is what smells) but it doesn't look or smell like something is smoking. I've attached a picture of what it looks like from outside.
Any ideas what it could be? I am afraid to continue running it as the whole pool room smells like this burnt plastic. I also notice that it keeps reigniting itself every 5 minutes or so, but does so without much struggle.
Thanks,
Mark.
