Pentair came out and looked at it.
The gas line was not feeding the unit enough gas to fire.
Of course the plumber disagrees.
At this point we are frustrated as all get out. Blame game always sucks but mostly sucks for the homeowner!

Did they check the gas pressure?
What specifically did they say was wrong with the gas supply?
I would verify the voltage and flow.
Can you show the gas plumbing and the main house gas meter?
What is the plumbing size and length?

I wasnt home but my husband was. They said that the gas supply force was low and the plumber said nope its fine but is switching out the regulator next week. Plumber doesnt want to change the line because then it will have to much gas going to the heater. What a mess.
What reading did they get for static and dynamic?
What readings did the plumber get??
Low gas pressure will not cause the errors reported.
You can't have too much gas going to the heater; this makes no sense.
You can have too much pressure, but the line can't be too big.
The line can only be too small, not too big.
I'm not buying the gas pressure problem.
Unless they can tell you the readings, I would not believe they know what they are talking about.
In my opinion, it is a voltage or flow issue.
If the line is low pressure (14" w.c maximum), the line should be 1" I.D up to 100 feet total equivalent length or 1.25" I.D up to 300 feet total equivalent length.
For a two-stage line, the first stage (2 psi) can be 1/2" up to 150 feet total equivalent length to the regulator and then 3/4" up to 10 feet into the heater.

We now have a working heater!
Plumber/Gas contractor came to the house and changed out the regulators. The heater was not receiving the appropriate gas flow.

That would not cause the reported errors.
So, you will likely see more errors or they fixed something without telling you.

Maybe that is what they told you, but I do not believe that it is correct.
