What to do if my Pentair Pool Products PacFab MiniMax 100 Swimming Pool Heater will not come on?
- A
  amandafergusonAug 1, 2025
  If your Pentair Pool Products Swimming Pool Heater won't turn on, there could be several reasons. First, ensure the pump is running by placing it in operation. Check for any leaks that might be causing the pump to be air-locked. Also, verify that the filter and pump strainer are clean. Make sure the on/off switch is in the 'POOL' or 'SPA' position. Defective wiring should be repaired or replaced. If the automatic ignition system fails, check if electrical connections are correct and securely fastened. If the issue persists, or if you suspect defective gas controls or a defective pressure switch, it's best to call a serviceman.

Why is my Pentair Pool Products PacFab MiniMax 100 short cycling?
- A
  Alexander OwensAug 14, 2025
  Short cycling (rapid on and off operation) in your Pentair Pool Products Swimming Pool Heater can stem from several issues. Insufficient water flow is a common cause, so clean the filter and pump strainer. Defective wiring can also be responsible, requiring repair or replacement. Other potential causes include a defective or stuck bypass valve, or a defective hi-limit and/or thermostat, in which case you should call a serviceman. Additionally, ensure all valves on the system are open, and if the heater continues to operate after the pump shuts off or if the heat exchanger is scaled, immediately shut off the gas supply and call a serviceman.
