My old Raypak 2100 was working last fall, but when I try to start it this year I get a "Clean Filter Strainer" service code. I have cleaned everything on the heater, backwashed, checked and cleared all baskets (skimmer and at pump). Pressure appears to be perfectly strong, and no different from in previous years. Based on what I can find on line, it seems the Pressure Switch may be faulty. Is that likely, do these fail? or is there another possible explanation?
If it is the pressure switch, are these simple to replace? The part number on mine is MSPS-EE05-071. I can locate on line for about $50 replacement switches with same specs labeled MSPS-EE05SS that look identical (Barksdale, the Little General, Single Setpoint .5-5.0). Do you simply remove the wires from the spades, unscrew, screw in the new one and reconnect the wires? Or do you need to adjust the set point, and how?
As a pool owner who maintains his own pool with help when needed from my installer, I don't know if this is something I can DIY or not. But given Shelter in Place orders, my installer is not open for business, otherwise I would have them take care of it. We would like to use the pool for exercise during the shelter in place, but unless I can get the heater working ...
Thanks for advice!
