Inadequate Flow at Low Pump Speed
Symptom
Heater is running but makes loud rattling or grinding noises
Mechanical Noise from Fan or Compressor
Symptom
Heater powers on but does not respond to buttons or touch controls
Unresponsive User Interface / Keypad Failure
Symptom
Heater runs but pool water becomes too hot and overshoots the set temperature
Overheating / Thermostat Overshoot
Symptom
Heater starts then shuts off after a few minutes without any error code
Short Cycling / Premature Shutdown
Symptom
Heater vibrates excessively and may cause piping or base to shake
Excessive Vibration
Symptom
