Oh yeah and no doubt. The fact is, a pool heater that is heating should
not
be just "shut down". Those sensors are for problems like power
interruptions
and pump failures. I don't think the mfg of Raypak want their heaters to
fry
circuit boards on shut down but you should let your pool heater run for
awhile anyway, after it's been heating, to let the pool water cool down
the
heater. I don't have a problem "going manual."

I just officially claimed pool season is over. I can turn the heater off
and
put my pump "off timers" back on. I'm thinking I'll cycle the pool for
about
4 hours a day.

The instructions for your pool heater will say you should be using a 2
stage timer that lets the pump run a few minutes after the heater goes
off.


Of course you're right but the installer didn't say anything about it. I'll
have to look into getting that done sometime in the future. There is a lot
of new wiring that will need to be done. I think my pool was installed in
1983 and needs some updating as far as wiring goes.

As a side note: I tried to replace the pool light fixture but it was
impossible to pull the light wiring through the conduit. Old pools can be
money holes but I love mine anyway.
