(no display error)
PC Board short.....................................
Ignition not sensed………………….….. Clean igniter with wire brush.
Replace board if no strength signal is being detected.
Replace fan relay.
Loose connection or failed motor.
Incorrect wiring, replace blower.
Replace blower.
Check for loose or broken (verify continuity) wiring/ground/ignition wire.
Check incoming power for correct voltage. There should be
no power on the neutral line.
Check for debris upstream of fan intake. Check intake air filter suction
pressure, replace filter if dirty.
Clean burners with a gentle application of compressed air, do not use
a brush.
Air intake feedback to regulator
disconnected.......................................... Check that tubing between air intake adapter and regulator is connected
and free of obstruction. See Fig. 1.
This does not take into account heat loss due to weather.
Replace igniter
Reset time clock.
Clean filter.
Refer to installation instructions.
Replace T&P gauge and maintain proper water chemistry.
See Water Chemistry on page 2.
Inspect bypass for movement, if no movement, replace.
Maintain water body temperatures above 50ºF (10ºC).
Heating Capacity =
Locate the restriction and remove. Flush system and clean.
Remove debris or blow out gas line.
Scale forming in heat exchanger - clean heat exchanger and
check pool pH and total alkalinity.
Clean or replace filter.
Raise water level.
Determine cause of sooting & correct.
Calculate heating capacity of heater or refer to heater sizing chart.
Replace refractory panels.
Replace refractory.
Determine cause of sooting and correct.
Replace heat exchanger and maintain proper water chemistry.
Clean burners with a gentle application of compressed air, do not use
a brush.
Refer to installation instructions.
Follow recommended installation instructions.
Adjust bypass.
Increase manifold pressure (turn clockwise slightly).
Replace ignition wire. Check connections. Increase manifold pressure
(turn clockwise slightly).
