SOURCE: Hayward H300 heater runs but will not heat water

Your internal by-pass could be stuck open or the disc could be worn to the point of letting water pass too fast. Or your thermal control valve could be stuck open. These are both found in your water header going into the heater. Hope this helps, good luck.

SOURCE: Hayward H250K gas pool heater error code

Low Flow errors are not necessarily real. They can be caused by improper adjustment or a defect of the pressure switch. Locate the pressure switch. Verify that the "switch" makes contact. Adjust the dial, reducing the distance the switch has to travel to engage. This will effectively lower the operating pressure required to operate. Keep adjusting until the unit stays on.

SOURCE: Hayward Model H250IDL is leaking water from drain valve.

Water leaking from the heater is not a good sign. This is an indication of a leaking heat exhanger. The heat exchanger will have to be replaced and the part is made of copper. It is very expensive, depending on the age, you may just want to replace the entire heater. Exchangers usually leak due to bad water chemistry.

How can I verify that water flow rate to my Hayward H series heater is above minimum required 20 GPM?

Most pool pump/filter systems are designed to achieve the minimum recommended flow rate. A pump system with at least 1HP motor should achieve the minimum flow rate, but a 0.75HP motor would likely also achieve it. The Hayward H series heaters do not include a water flow rate sensor, but rather use a water pressure sensor to verify the pump is operating. If the system has insufficient water flow even when the pressure is within normal operating limits, the heater will likely over heat and open the water pressure relief valve located on the outlet header. This condition could occur if the down-stream line is blocked (by a closed valve or similar condition). It is important to avoid this condition since the heater will release pressure via opening a relief valve, spilling water directly out of the heater manifold.

The only adjustment for hydraulic sensing within the H series heaters is the water pressure sensor. See other articles within fixya for this procedure.

What is the fix for an LO error message on Hayward H series heater?

That means low water flow is being sensed by safety flow sensor - normally a pressure switch. It s most cases not a problem, it is just doing its job, informing you that water flow has become restricted and reduced.
Most common problem = Dirty filter!
either backwash or rinse off the elements.
If you have an automated system attached to this heater. It will always show, when heater is Off, this is normal.
But it should go away, when pump comes on, if not - check for whatever could restrict water flow to the heater.

Bypass the LO code on H 350HD Hayward pool heater

"LO" is simply informing you that the Heater is not sensing proper water flow through it! A Flow Problem.
A special sensor, called a pressure switch is this source. But... That does not mean it is bad - No, it is in most cases just doing its job!
Most common reason - Dirty Filter.
A good cleaning of the cartridges, or maybe a breakdown and recharge of a DE Filter, or a good cleansing backwash of your sand filter, will remedy this situation.
Or... Check for any OTHER reason or situations water flow may be reduced through the heater:
  • enough water in pool or spa?
  • If you have a weir gate in skimmer, is it stuck in the UP position?
  • Are any valves closed?
  • Do you have a bypass valve at the heater?
    • If open, this will reduce the amount of water going thru heater, close it to the point, LO goes away.
  • Etc
Good Luck - hope this helped.

I have A hayward heater H100IDEVERYTIME the heater kicks on it makes A clunking noise and the inlet hose shakes

Check your water flow and make sure your by-passes are set to send water threw the heater. That is to say shut off. The water in the heater is over heating and the clunking is the water turning to steam.

My hayward heater statesup and run good for about 45seconds to 60 and stars jumping, i can hear the bafel in the heating tub clicking around. One time before had this problem and the chemical despencer was...

Sounds Like a water flow problem Todd. Check your filter and skimmer to make sure they are clean. Feel the inlet and outlet water pipes while heater is running there should be a slight temp difference. If the Outlet is getting really hot, you have a flow problem and that would usually relate to a dirty filter or skimmer.

Burner at gas intake is rusted out causing flames

You will need to get new burners. What causes this is improper water flow creating condensation on the heat exchanger. Condensation is highley asidic and when it drips on the burners it rotts them out fast. To cure this you will need to open the water header on the side of the heater. Inside is the by-pass and thermal control for the water. Replace both of these while you have it open, if one is bad the other can't be far behind.
