Pool Heater, Knocking Noise
Переглядів 53 тис.4 роки тому
I was getting a banging/knocking noise from my pool heater. I called the heater manufacturer (Raypak) and the technician suggested that I check for scaling and check the unitherm governor. This is the video of locating and fixing the problem

    Hey this worked great. But now it’s not heating up the water as fast. Previously before I cleaned it, it was heating too much and pop fuse. Cleaned everything and replaced the govnor and temp sensor. So what else can I go to find a happy medium?

  • @Tevon93
    @Tevon93 7 місяців тому

    For those wondering how the thermostat works: ​⁠​⁠Only a small amount of water goes through the tubes in the heater, the rest is bypassed. The heated water mixes with the bypassed water and then exits the heater to your pool. The thermostat controls how much heated water passes through the tubes. It’s there to compensate for different pump flow rates and water temperatures, so that the heated water exiting the tubes is always 105 degrees F. That is the ideal temperature for the water to be at to prevent damage and run at the highest efficiency. As stated earlier, this 105 degree water mixes with the bypassed water in the manifold and then exits the heater.

    • @stilljustaguy
      @stilljustaguy 5 місяців тому

      Now that I cleaned the manifold, replaced uniform governor, and the temp sensor in the manifold, it’s not getting as hot as it previously was. How do I adjust it so it heats up more water ? Heats it faster? I did all this cause I got flame roll out and it was heating to much it popped fuse. Now it appears to be working and running great but the water is ust not getting hot enough.

    Everyone with these issues also check to make sure the whole area behind that manifold is clear of crap. A lot of heaters go bad due to corrosion or bad chemistry. Also if you have a chlorine feeder right before the outlet make sure to use a Hartford loop or check valve as these will eat up your exchanger in a year. Your pool will oxidize with copper and turn a greenish copper color. And it's a biotch to get out. For those with a mastertemp from pentair. They have a similar item called a thermal regulator held with a spring. However the banging noise is usually due to a broken bypass behind the manifold which gets jammed in the outlet line. This requires a whole new bypass. Not just a regulator. Not the easiest repair. Call a professional if you are not comfortable with this stuff. I've seen many people get hurt or cause damage working on heaters. Gas and electric. It's unfortunately not a DIY for most. If getting the high limit 2 error this and water flow (dirty filter) are usually the issue. The sensor itself isn't a common failure. There is a limit 1 and 2 switch. Have fun

    Also I would recommend you disconnect all of the wires from the manifold so you can take a water hose and force water through all of the manifold holes. The manifold for the 336a is one piece not two. Also there is no main gasket. There are gaskets on the 8 pipe connections.

  • @joelong9349

    Mine was doing this big time. I have a Raypak 336A which has a different cast iron manifold with just the 2 inlet and outlet pipes. The unitherm governor is behind the large square brass nut below the outlet pipe. Still this video shows excellent directions. Thanks.

  • @vincent22046
    @vincent22046 Рік тому

    Thanks for the video. I didn’t understand the noise before this. I learned from another repair video that the first step is to make sure all of the filters are clean. Most issues arise from decreased flow to the heater. The temp will rise inside with knocking sounds from boiling, and it will shut down. It saved me a lot of time and money.

  • @robbefumo8363

    Great video much appreciated. After research I identified this as a cause of my high limit 2 error code, along with the banging. Wondering why you did not drill out the ports as I have seen in other videos? Also why did you not check the high limit switches and temp sensors? Finally this is beyond my comfort level to work on so my question is how long / $ for a tech to fix? Thanks so much.

    How exactly does the bypass valve and thermostat work?

    • @pg42
      @pg42 2 роки тому

      I think the thermostat (Raypak calls it a unitherm governor) stays closed to until the water in the tubes gets up to temperature, then it opens to let water circulate through the heater tubes. I'm pretty sure that's what the technical guy at Raypak told me. It's easy to test it by putting it in hot water as see if it opens

    Pardon my French--but this is a balls on video. I followed along and found the first 3 tubes were clogged like yours. Strange--the other 6 were fine. However the vacuum was woefully inadequate. #2 from the right had calcified into rock--there was no vacuuming/chipping away at this crap. Northern Illinois well water. I pushed in and twisted the screwdriver to no avail--and then I thought about my spade bits! Worked perfectly. Used my oldest drill and almost burned it up, but I now have mostly clear pipes--and no knocking. Was careful not to twist during the drilling process. Thermostat tested fine in hot water as well. Thanks so much for doing this.

    So, if my heater is bypassed but it still makes a shaky intermittent rumbling sound, is it the same issue, scale buildup? It’s not real loud or anything.

    You missed taking a look at the bypass valve. Judging by the very large amount of debri you had in your heater, you should have lifted that second panel inside that header and checked the bypass valve. With the corrosion you had, that shaft was probably full of grit and the valve was probably stuck. It is a simple matter to pull out that valve and clean the shaft and tunnel the closing part slides on so the valve opens and closes. One more 2 minute step to a perfect repair. I was amazed by the amount of junk in your heater and the exchanger was not leaking. Lucky. New exchanger is $600.

    Just in case you know.... The new Raypak/Rheem heater header has a sacrificial anode well directly in front of one of the header nuts. I have NO idea how to access that. I need to reverse the headers. Regardless, the bypass valve may need to be accessed in the future. What tool do I need to access that nut? Moreover, how do I get the nut back on the bolt on the other side of the heater? Can barely touch the bolt with one finger. Whoever engineered this snanfu should have to work on every damn one of them! Customer wanted heated pool for the holidays, ain't gonna happen. I've been in the business for 25 years, and getting more pissed by the day on what factories are putting out. I called factory rep on this, no response.
