Preventing my heater from kicking on and the spa from heating up.
Pentair water temperature sensor problems.
I bought this new sensor and it installed in 10 minutes.
Adjust the temperature accordingly.
This temperature sensor can be used as a water air or solar temp sensor for pentair s intellitouch easytouch and suntouch swimming pool control systems.
Now the display s.
The original black water sensor was causing the easy touch intellitouch water temp displays read 170 200 degrees.
I have a pentair master temp 300 pool heater that is 6 years old.
No power fuse is open no ac power or issues with wiring.
Downside to that is that you would need to rebuild the system again labels time date schedules etc.
I have replaced the stack sensor thinking that it was the problem.
Only modification as mentioned by others is to enlarge the sensor hole in the main filter pipe to 3 8 diameter.
In the beginning the temperature reading on the remote was 50 75 degrees hotter than the water actually was.
My pool temperature was reading 167 degrees.
Cold water light red water is below 52 degrees f.
Pentair temperature sensor replacement.
Pentair ic40 problems come in the above nature and can be solved through the solution provided.
When temp sensors fail they usually report temps off in excess of 100 degrees.
I have to manually start stop the heater every time.
Either the water temperature sensor or the pentair intellitouch i5s system is giving me bad temperature readings.
Diagnose the problem and rectify accordingly.
If you can t save the adjusted temp setting that would suggest a problem with the controller.
To test this the hi temp sensors are on the heat exchanger two twin sensors on the left of the exchange when looking at the front.
If the same problem exists do the same with the blower sensor the round sensor mounted to the outer case.
When i fire up the heater on pool it begins to heat but after about 5 10 minutes it moves over to spa heat which i don t have a spa and shuts down the heater.
You may need to erase the eeprom memory and start over.
Keep your pool a cool comfortable temperature with the correct sensor.
