What to do if my Pentair 75 Swimming Pool Heater will not come on?
If your Pentair Swimming Pool Heater won't turn on, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the pump is running. If not, place it in operation. Check for any leaks that may be causing the pump to be air-locked. A dirty filter or clogged pump strainer can also prevent the heater from starting, so clean them. Verify that the on-off switch is in the 'ON' position. Defective wiring or a faulty pressure switch may be the culprit, requiring you to repair or replace the wires or switch, respectively. If the automatic ignition system fails, or you suspect defective gas controls, and the electrical connections are securely fastened, it's best to call a serviceman.
Why is my Pentair 75 short cycling?
If your Pentair Swimming Pool Heater is short cycling, meaning it rapidly turns on and off, the issue might stem from insufficient water flow. Try cleaning the filter and pump strainer to improve water flow. Defective wiring could also cause this problem, so consider repairing or replacing the wiring. If the by-pass valve is defective or stuck, or the hi-limit and/or thermostat are defective, it is best to call a serviceman.
