Possible Causes

Incorrect sensor type installed, Sensor wiring extended improperly, Control board calibration fault, Multiple sensors cross-wired

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF power before working on sensor wiring.

  • Confirm correct sensor: Verify that the installed thermistor part number matches the Poolworld specification for your model.
  • Check wiring length: If sensor leads were extended, ensure twisted-pair cable was used and splices are secure and waterproof.
  • Inspect for cross-wiring: Make sure inlet, outlet, and water temperature sensors are connected to the correct terminals on the control board.
  • Reset control: Perform a factory reset of the control (if available in the menu) to clear calibration errors. If E17 persists, the control board may require replacement.

Warning: Using non-approved sensors can cause inaccurate temperature control and heater damage.
