- This is a tutorial on tearing down a heater that was running a high exhaust temp. The heat exchanger tubes were sooted and limed up, causing the exhaust temp to be excessive. The buildup on the tubes does not allow enough heat to transfer to the water. The extra heat goes out the exhaust causing the stack flue sensor error code.
Never understood why these lower btu models don’t have 6 coils like the higher btu model. Heat transfer is all about surface area and 6 would make it way more efficient
One important note with the ignitor being so fragile remove it first before pulling the top plate and put it back in last after the top is back in place. Broke 2 in this process
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Your video helped me out a lot!
Lol what the customer get charged for this? That unit would continue to run without faults at that stack temp. But yes it’s technically to high. But given the age of that heater I don’t know that the cost of the repairs is worth it.
Pentair/stay worst, junky heaters don't buy these. There is a reason why i can move it all by myself.
I replaced my manifold that had froze....9 years ago. It is still working to this day...you ROCK !!!!
Hi sr, thank you for the good video. Have a nice day.
Do you service Southern California area? Thank you
I'm having similar problems , what do I ask for from the pool company ?
Hi Jay
I have Sta Rite Heater Model SRC400NA with 400 K BTU/hr .. when i checked exhaust temperature is was 372 F. So i have to go and change the parts as you mention in your video .. Thank you
my service heater light is on and heater will not fire. i have an afs light on the back of the board, what does that mean?
The control board is looking for a hard short from the AFS as soon as the blower turns on. Watch "PENTAIR MASTERTEMP 400 POOL/SPA HEATER AFS AIR FLOW SWITCH ERROR LIGHT REPAIR" on TH-cam

if my heater SR400HD is running at 450F could mine be the same problem? or do i need a new heat exchanger?
same here. what did you do?
Absolutely limed up. Just get a new heater
About $325.00
Hi. On our sta-rite heater the display board is showing E06 error code? What is this? Thanks
Stack flue sensor. Either its bad or ur exhaust temp is too high, causing the heater to shut down.
First thing id do is take a reading of the flue temp with an infrared thermometer. If that is fine, then replace the stack flue sensor. Simple as that. Things that could cause high temp are things lke the gas pressure being set too high or an exhaust blockage.
Or things like in the video
