I'm new to pool maintenance, bought a home last year with a pool and had a company take care of it all year. This year we had a professional open it, but plan on doing everything else ourselves, so I've been conducting a lot of research on here - thank you for the great resource.
Because of a lot of rain, we have had the heater off pretty much since opening the pool two weeks ago. Yesterday when I went to turn the heater on the "service heater" light came on. This morning I tried it again and the same thing occurred, so I took the covers off and saw a code light of AFS. I also noticed a slight dripping of water from the screw holding the air intake onto the blower.
During my start attempts yesterday and early today, it did sound as if the blower was coming on, but after a few hours and multiple tries it doesn't appear as idpf the blower is coming on any longer.
When I attempt to start it, it does sound as if there is a water gurgling sound coming from the blower motor. The leak from the screw is not increasing.
The documentation with the heater says it's four years old. Is it shot or anything I can do to fix it? Any help is appreciated.
