Purchased a house with IG pool last summer, and have this same heater (but hooked up to propane tanks). Pool inspector said it was shot and needed replacement ($2000+!!!). I googled and replaced thermistor, and thing started right up! Thanks for this video...we just closed the pool but I am planning on giving the heater a thorough cleaning and this video is helpful!

Though lengthy, I found this video incredibly helpful. I replaced the manifold as well as the thermal regulator in 1 hour.

Super helpful video, thanks!! My heater has been occupied by mice. They chewed through hoses and wires. Your video provided me information to take it all apart and clean the whole thing. This is life savings. Really appreciate it!

A commercial spa. I had to take the tank lid off today. Anh it’s call a (stay)rite not a (star)rite. Jk. The stack flue temperature reach 480 degrees causing the heater to shut down after a minute. Mine had 10 nuts on top of the tank. It’s not fun to take the tank lid off but there was so much scum on the heat exchange. A lot of wire brushing today. Funny I come home and see your video. Nice to see another Vietnamese know how to diy. Great more Asian taking away our poolman’s business. Lol

I am planning on getting this particular model (Propane) and I'm glad to see a complete tear down. So my observation tells me that the only problem you had was the igniter. I still have a few questions here perhaps some one knows if this can be installed indoor as my pool system is in a shed. I see that has some exhaust perhaps it can be extended to outside. I appreciate the video a lot even if it is long but the tear down really shows a lot of the components. I'm looking to find more answers and will soon purchase this.

pentair website has current (August 2020) version of the installation manual on their website. It has everything you need to know about installing indoors and out. You need to extend exhaust it to the outdoors, and they very strongly recommend that your intake air comes from the outdoors as well, although not near your exhaust. Older versions of installation manual are on manualslib.com: 2001, 2008, & 2014. I particularly like wiring diagram in the 2001 manual for troubleshooting. After they added the interchangeable molex plugs to allow for 220 operation, the updated wiring diagram can no longer be followed.

A little more testing with an electrical tester would’ve told him the igniter was bad instead of tearing the whole thing apart saving lots of time, the lube was for the O-rings not for the bolt threads

I am about to open my pool . I can't tell the lights yet but I know what it's been doing the last two season. It starts and runs the first time I turn it on. Once it got the pool to temp and kicks off it tries to fire again but just buzzes alot. I let it sit for a few hrs and it will run again. Any Ideas so I can get parts ordered?

Remove outer cover to expose inside workings and locate where buzzing is coming from. I suspect it is the gas valve.

Blower will not start unless pressure switch and high limit switch are both closed . Test with ohm meter with pool pump running and switch connections removed. Both switchs are located on manifold.

Natural Gas Pool Heaters You can figure about 1 therm per hour per 100,000 BTU’s for Natural Gas. For a typical 400,000 BTU pool heater, that’s 4 therms per hour. Currently Natural Gas runs about $1.00 per therm, natural gas prices do fluctuate so keep an eye on this site showing the Cost of Natural Gas Per State. In our example, 1 hour on Natural Gas will cost $4.00.

They definitely do fail. His ignitor was fine. He described short cycling. Which is when the heater continually shuts down and reignites once at certain temp (below the set point). This guy needed a thermal regulator, a very common failure. That would have cost less than $20 and about 10 min to replace. Calling a pro would have totalled less than $100 and he spent over $1000. Way to stick it to the .

And also why run the risk of blowing up your house with your family in it...there is a reason why you do what you do for a living and us heater guys work on heaters for a living i can see 3 things you did wrong and dangerous that a typical DIY home owner would do...so your good with your hands... i am good at math the doesnt mean im going to try to do my taxs that i pay my accountant to do...my point is your wrong information is going to get someone killed and YOU myfriend run the risk of being liable for it...if i were you i would delete this video encourging none liscensed plumbers to play with gas is a dangerous game to play...just an FYI.
