Thank you!!! I saw this video last night. Went to Amazon….bought the part. (I have Pentair 400-same part number though) It arrived today. Just installed it -heater fired right up !! 👍👊🏻🙏🇺🇸
Have the same gas heater . When I turn it on the temperature is not the actual temp of the pool . I get a AFS ERROR . It ignited and turns off and recycled over . When I try and set pool setting comes up MAX as well as Spa . Sometimes the heater will stay on for 15 minutes and go off . I changed high limit switch and AGS . Still same issue . Amy help appreciated . My heater is 2 years old !
@@BLUESGUITAROCKER thx for watching. I would think that is too new to be the circuit board. Does the heater sit outside? There may be some sort of obstruction blocking flow. Mice, spiders, etc. I’ve never had that problem, but I’ve heard it’s possible. U may want to look for that. Or possible the thermistor?
Nice job. I tried to troubleshoot a friend’s but they decided to pay $145 for a service call. How quickly should the heater raise the temp from 72? It is a big electric heater. Thanks
Thx for watching. It really depends on a number of variables. Size of the pool, time the pump is running, ambient temp outside, number of skimmers, number of jets, pump size, pipe diameter, etc. you get the picture. We have a 35k gallon pool with 2 skimmers, a drain, and 4 inlet jets. If I let the pump run continuously, and say it’s 72 outside, it might take 18 hrs or so to get it to say 82. Also depends on the age and efficiency of the heater.
I have a mastertemp 250 as well. Just purchased from a previous owner. Its less than a year old. Heater Ignites and then shuts off after about 10-15 seconds. I switched the heater from Natural gas to Propane. I changed the Orifice and replaced with propane. Bought a regulator for propane. Any ideas what it could be? I have replaced the high limit switch and no luck.
Thx for watching Mr Jimmy. Man, u are asking something above my skill set. Do u have the owners manual? It sounds like most of the stuff u did would convert it, but there must be something else u haven’t done. Maybe a programming function?
Can you tell me why possibly the service light is turning on immediately for my minimax NT. The first 3 lights are on. The 4th green light is not turning on. Ty
Rm, I’m sorry I cannot. Im not familiar with that particular heater. Do you still have the owner’s manual? It might give you some troubleshooting tips or Google the issue, you might get an explanation or a resolution. Let me know.
my water temperature 80deg reads correctly on the display unit, but once I turn on the heater, the display temp continously rises to 102deg then shuts off within a minute. Whats wrong here?
Well, we m not a pool expert. But, to me I would look into the igniter . It sounds like that could be bad. It’s a really easy part to change, but u do have to remove the sides and top. After that, it’s 2 bolts. This senses temp and ignites the gas. Might be something to try. There is also on the underside of ur circuit panel, some small LED lights, when it shuts off, remove the top and see which one is lit. That will tell u if one of the sensors is bad.

Tell me about it. I own two houses with pools. In the last 10 years I’ve spent a fortune just on pool heater replacements and repairs and now another needs to be replaced again. I hate it.

Forgot to set temp ??
Wish I. Never bought a house with a Pool, nothing but problems, hate it
I’m sorry to hear that. We love ours, But, things can go wrong. When they don’t, they are incredibly enjoyable.
