In this video I address 2 error messages: 1) Water SW Open and 2) Rollout SW Open. I remove and replace the pressure switch as well as show viewers how to change the rollout switch. Lastly, I remove the heat exchange to talk about cleaning and troubleshoooting other potential issues.

Great video, you took the mystery out of what’s inside the box and provided all the how to. $43 later and a full disassembly & cleaning it’s up and running again. Thank you

Best video on this heater! Big thanks. I'm opening our above ground pool because I'm not paying for it to be done. The last 2 seasons, something was incorrectly or incompletely done and it's not cheap. Your step by step how to video is fantastic. I'm not done but so far so good. I have the same error code so I am now at the step of removing exchanger. The inside looks exactly like yours: debris, cobwebs, calcium buildup and rust. We just bought this thing 3 years ago and it already looks like hell. People who closed it did not winterize it, and put it in shed. Consequently, it's weathered. How do you winterize the heater? Clean it? Put it in shed in backyard? How to prevent the rust? Again, thanks for taking the time to make video. I'm in northern Ohio which has extreme temp changes during year. Let me get back to this task -- kids want to get in and don't want to hear my heat pump woes -- just get it done! lol

Glad you liked the video. To winterize it I just disconnect everything and a shop vac set to reverse with electrical tape to the inlet for 5 to 10 minutes to make sure it’s bone dry for the winter. A leaf blower would work to. Just make sure there isn’t any water. My heater is still running strong a year after this video. good luck.

Dealing with the ROLLOUT SW OPEN error today on that same exact heater. I ordered the flame rollout switch replacement part two days ago. Now that I watched this video, I have way more confidence attacking cleaning the heat exchanger. Great video. Glad I found it. I will clean the heat exchanger before putting the new switch. I will clean the heat exchanger and then see if the new switch is needed, which i imagine it is due to the one time use from what I read unless I am misunderstanding?

Sounds right to me. Glad the video was useful. My heater is still going strong a year after making this. Thank goodness! Good luck!

Great video, I actually can't open the top after removing the 6 screws on each side. The front of the top is won't come loose? Did I miss something?

Great video! Thinking about purchasing one like this , would you recommend? Want something that is capable of remembering settings from previously day so if my pump kicks in next day , the heater will continue to heat the water to desired temperature from day before is that possible with this model ? Another words- don’t want to manually adjust temp every day ….thanks !

No manual adjustment needed. It remembers its settings as it turns off and on. I would recommend it. Mine is still going strong after I made this repair a year ago. Good luck!

My utility bills more than double during the summer. Does your pool and/or heater significantly jack up your bills? And any recommendation on coil cleaner? I'm using coil cleaner for the furnace. Thanks

Yes it does. Throw a solar cover on if you not using it for a few days to keep costs done. I do that when I travel. It makes a big difference. Saves on chlorine burn off too. Good idea on the coil cleaner. Good luck!

My rollout switch blows constantly, even when the heater was first installed it lasted less than an hour. Today I replaced it, went to turn the power on and the heater won’t even power on. I checked the outlet, breaker, and power cord which are all fine. Have you ever had an issue with yours not powering on?

There is a 5 Amp fuse on the board for the control, gotta open the front bottom panel with the knurled nut and there should be 2 bolts right under the lcd panel pull it down and out and check if that fuse is blown
