I have never owned a pool with a heater so I dont know what is normal or not but I have two possible issues. One is the sound of my Mastertemp when it fires up. It literally sounds like a jet engine spooling up. It is a very deep low frequency sound that I find rather satisfying, but my wife feels very strongly against. It only does it when the burner lights, then quickly fades. I would like to know if anyone else who has this MasterTemp system can confirm this is normal and nothing you can do about it or there is a way to at least partially mitigate the sound. The other thing is the heater turns off continuously when the temperature gets above around 87. Say I set it for 90 degrees. It will eventually get there but after reaching 87 it will run for a couple minutes, turn off for a couple, then back on. Continues this on and off cycling until getting to the desired temp instead of running continuously until reaching the desired temp. The last few degrees will take an hour or two to get to because of this continuous cycling on and off. This would not be as big an issue if it wasn't for the whole 747 engine firing up sound, lol. Any insight would be very helpful.
