Awesome video! Thank you! Got mine up and running today! 👍

Ordered the part on amazon for about $50 (pool store wanted $99 for OEM), installed in 20mins and now I got some hot in my hot tub! Thanks for making a very detailed video!

I realize that you posted this quite a while ago but just wanted to say that my heater is performing exactly like what you described and I am ordering an igniter today. Thank you for taking the time to post such a detailed video!

Thanks for this video! I removed my Thermal Regulator and the issue of "on/off" cycling was immediately fixed. I've got the new Thermal Regular part on order and will replace it. My question is why wouldn't I just leave the Thermal Regulator out all the time? As long as water is flowing through and heating what's the purpose of the part. Does the thermal regulator act as a back flow to stop water coming backwards through the system when the pump is off? Thanks!

Whats the purpose of the thermal bypass valve? How does it work?

Thank you 🙏

My Mastertemp 250 would not even try to fire when turned on, straight to service heater light. Hot wired the switch wires and it fired right up. Ordered replacement on Amazon and was back up and running in 2 days. Thank you for the help. Your video gave me insight into what my heaters HLS system was looking for.

Hello. I have an HLS light. The spa heats to approx 91, then shuts off for 2 minutes and comes back on for 90 seconds then repeats itself. The heater runs fine when I am in pool mode. I've replaced my thermistor, HLS and thermal regulator, and I still have the HLS light and all the same symptoms. No rattling or odd noises. It's a 3 year-old heater. Any ideas? Thanks

Thank you very much! The symptom matched my issue perfectly, and I had already replaced the HLS.

What is the part numbers?

Good video, except I was getting an AGS Light. After troubleshooting AGS, determined it was the high limit sensor that you pointed too & disconnected. I bypassed HLS with a wire, turned system on and heated to 99. No service light. Will replace HLS. Just a FYI

Super video Thank you

What if it doesn't turn on at all, no lights, nothing ?

That gasket didnt leak water?

Great video! What was the igniter part number you used? Do you have a favorite place to buy these parts? Thanks again!

Haha, my 400 failed at year 4. They suck

Curious, what is that Rubbermaid deck box next to the heater for?

Saved me $1,000 repair (quoted by a local repair technician). Very good and helpful video.

I was able to replace my thermal regulator without using the clip (I noticed it in the box after I installed it). Is it absolutely necessary to have the clip installed or does just hold onto the spring? Thanks for the great video.

So if it wasn't your thermal regulator. Then what was your problem with your heater. Mine is doing the same thing and I have replaced the regulator, gas sensor and HLS sensor to no avail.

Worst heaters ever. I replace so many regs on these things it's rediculous. Also the control panels are source of issues too. Half the time the error code lights aren't exactly the problem. Get Hayward. Lol

I really appreciate your channel. I hope you get more subscribers, likes and shares. Great info and instruction. 👍

What is the Part Number for the MasterTemp 400 Igniter? Solid Video!

Great video, I had trouble loosening the cap to replace the thermal regulator. Turns out a better tool (that didn't bend) and some two handed elbow grease did the trick (one hand twisting cap, the other on end of tool). The old regulator ended up getting stuck inside as I feel they make the clip ends a touch too long which catches on the inside threads. Took about 10 minutes of shimmying to get er out. Once out, the old one was indeed corroded and rusted. Guy at the pool shop had suggested doing the HLS switch first as that was the error code on flipside of panel so I bought both parts and did the HLS first to no avail. In hindsight probably should have tried the thermal regulator replacement first. Thanks again for the great video!

Hi. Ours is this way only it doesn’t do 3 attempts. The first attempt it kicks a breaker /circuit. I had a trap at man freak and run when he smelled the gas. I believe we have a mouse ruined wire but need help!!

AGS. Erra. Reading

THANK YOU so much. With your video I was able to troubleshoot one of the HLSs. I shorted out each one until I found the culprit. Cleaned the connectors and it works now. I guess I was lucky. Thanks so much!!

Thank you so much for this video. Luckily that was the case and I was able to pull it off of an old parts one I had

Hi there - great video which identified the problem. BUT - there's water in the combustion chamber! I assume that's really wrong, do you have a video or recommendation to fix?

Thank you. Informative and helpful.

Ótimo vídeo 🇧🇷👍🏼

This video was very helpful. Now I need a little advice to confirm my troubleshooting. I removed the thermo-regulator and the heater stopped cycling on and off. I heated some water in the microwave and put the thermo-regulator in the water. It opened as expected. This tells me that the thermo-regulator is working properly. Am I correct to assume that the likely source of my problem is the high limit switch? Assuming yes, I can buy a new switch and replace the old one. Is there anything else that I may be overlooking? Finally, as a shot term solution, is it generally safe to run the heater without the thermo-regulator for a short period of time so my family can continue to use the spa until I get a replacement HLS switch? I would ask the same question about purposely shorting the HLS temporarily. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I watched this video and then troubleshot my heater. I thought it was the igniter, maybe it still is so I ordered one. Then I got an air flow sensor fault so I ordered that. I removed the igniter while the heater was trying to light and it was red hot so I assumed it was good. I installed the new afs a minute ago and still no ignition. I still may need the igniter. What else could it be?

Thanks so much for your knowledge. It helped me alot.

My problem is that it lights, only stays on for a few seconds maybe 20-30 and makes a loud noise . shuts down and service heater light comes on. Not sure what it could be, any ideas. It is a mastertemp 250

I pulled the igniter out and there was water in there is that normal?

Hi - I wanted to say this video SOLVED my Pentair Propane heating issue and saved my summer - I was shocked when i opened my heater - We installed it 3 years ago on my pool - we never had one and we did over the liner and some retaining walls - we basically rebuilt our pool - but for 3 years this heater performed amazing and it died near the end of last season and I figured I would fix it next summer - I browsed this video and followed the steps - good thing I opened the unit to my surprise - Inside I found a nest of leaves and debris - man it looked like my new heater was rotting - then I opened the control box and found two dead chipmunks that chewed threw all my 24v wires - man What a repair - but the hardest thing I had was getting my igniter out - one of the 1/2' nuts lock froze and I had to break the post - I have a metal shop in my barn and quickly welded a new bolt to the hood and reseated the igniter - the igniter I got from Amazon and it came with a 1 time use only gasket (I thought it was like made out of cotton? seemed very flimsy but the igniter went in just like the video said - the unit was so cheap I saved a ton - the gas company was gonna charge me 250 to do the work I did it all in like 4 hrs - it was quite a day and I enjoyed a night swim with a warm pool - Thanks guys! this a 10 star! two thumbs up video - any DIY'er that owns a pool and propane heater should catalog and bookmark this video

Any idea what the normal resistance range is on these igniters? I have the exact same symptoms on a Pentair Mastertemp 125, but instead of an open circuit, I'm showing 100 ohms.

Hello, if you can help please. I just changed the Thermal regulators and that did not cure the problem of it shutting on then off at a two minute Intervals when it reaches 87 degrees. Any ideal what should I change out next. It would be much appreciated. Thank You!

How about checking voltage going to the igniter safely with the gas valve off when the system calls for heat and you hear the gas valve open?

This video was very helpful. Great explanation, thank you for this one and the others!!

You mentioned in the video that cycling 3 times and kicking in the service heater light is usually a bad igniter, but what if it does that same thing but the igniter is good? I used my Pentair 125 pool heater 1 day and it worked fine. It fired, heated up to temperature, turned itself off. When the pool water dropped below the set point it tried to turn on and now I am getting exactly what symptoms you show in your video. I checked the igniter and I have 59.9 ohms. Gas pressure is good. I hear the 3 clicks in the gas valve but do not smell gas during ignition sequence. Any suggestions?

Lo e cambiado varias veces aquel se debe que sea continuo la falla que daña la pza

I’m having the same problem with a master temp 400 that’s only a month old, but I’m getting a 128 and r14 code I’ve change the water temp sensor that goes in the pvc and the temp sensor for the air but still I’m getting the same codes They also have a jandy rs control pad in the house I’ve reset the value on that pad to get rid of the existing programs And I think it reset the temp values also Would that be a reason why the heaters is not igniting?

Now this was a very worthwhile video it gave me some DIY tips that I can investigate on my own thank you very much

Get your motor fixed

Any issues with running the heater without the regulator? I'm on myrd rd one in 2years and the price has jumped by 400% in the last two months.

Please help me whit traducción in spanish

Have the same issue with my brand new Pentair MasterTemp 400 heater. Pretty disappointed. Had my old heater for 23 years with no major issues. This one has issues in the first week of operation!
