My Hayward H-Series heater ignites and blows really hot exhaust air, but the temperature of the water being discharged back into the pool is luke warm. The temperature setting is at 100 degrees. Cant figure out why the water isnt heating.
Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.
A 'LO' error code for a Hayward heater is a limit string open error. If the limit string opens the heater shuts down and goes into lockout. Automatic restart is 2 minutes after the error condition is corrected and the limit string closes.
The limit string is a series of switches designed to turn off the heater if air or water temperatures exceed a safe operating limit.
The problem may be faulty a switch(es) but is far more likely to be a system condition the switches are reacting too that needs to be corrected. Low flow of combustion air due to obstructions around the heater or the vent; low flow of water through the heater allowing too high a water temp; Poor venting or sooted-over heat exchanger causing flame rollout. These are all conditions that should be eliminated if they exist.
If you are not familiar with these switches or the conditions described you may want to consider calling in a professional. Hayward can refer you to someone in your area who is. Call Hayward at 908-351-5400 or try the website locator found here.
