Possible Causes

Out-of-calibration Thermeau water temperature sensor, Sensor not fully inserted in thermowell, Poor thermal contact due to dried thermal paste, Control board calibration drift

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing sensors.

  • Verify with reliable thermometer: Measure pool water temperature away from returns and compare to the heater display.
  • Check sensor installation: Ensure the sensor is fully seated in its well or firmly clamped to the pipe as designed.
  • Improve thermal contact: If the sensor uses a thermowell, apply fresh thermal compound approved for sensors to improve heat transfer.
  • Replace sensor: If readings remain off by more than a few degrees, replace the Thermeau water temperature sensor.
  • Board replacement: If a new sensor does not correct the reading, the control board may be miscalibrated and require replacement.
