First time poster. I have read through the forums and some other forums and am still a little confused about my gas meter and pool heater situation. We bought the house with pool already built a couple years ago and it is our first pool. This year, the 4 year old pool heater stopped working and apparently the heat exchanger died (400,000 BTU jandy). Prior to this year have not had issues with the heater Chemistries have been maintained weekly by a pool service company and haven't had any major issues with the pool. One company came out and said the reason for the failure is because the gas meter is undersized. The gas meter is a 275 cfh with maop of 5 psi. My initial thought was that this couldn't supply property gas to the pool heater, but it seems there are more variables involved. The gas meter is less than 10 ft from the pool heater and the piping appears to be 1 1/4 inch. I discussed the issue with the pool builder (reputable company) and they said everything was permitted, and the gas plumber they used is very experienced and said there is no issue with the gas meter.
So before starting up a new pool heater, I wanted to know if the the gas meter can actually provide enough gas to not damage the heater. (I did try calling the gas company, but they won't come out to check right now due to a shelter in place order).
