Maintenance what would be the proper way to clean this heater with out damaging it

emperature sensor. To fix this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Check the temperature sensor: Make sure the sensor is properly connected and that the wires are not damaged. If the sensor is damaged, you will need to replace it.
2. Check the water flow: Make sure that there is adequate water flow to the heater. If the water flow is too low, the heater will not be able to function properly.
3. Check the temperature settings: Make sure that the temperature settings on the heater are set correctly. If the temperature is set too high, the heater may not be able to function properly.
4. Reset the heater: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to reset the heater. To do this, turn off the power to the heater, wait for at least 5 minutes, and then turn the power back on.
5. Contact manufacturer or professional: If the above steps do not work, it is highly recommended that you contact Hayward customer service or a pool heating professional for further diagnosis and repair.

It's important to note that these steps are general guidance and the specific steps may vary depending on the model of your Hayward pool heater. Make sure to consult the manual for the specific steps and precautions before performing any maintenance or repairs on your pool heater.

Most gas water heater problems today can be solved with yearly maintenance that includes cleaning burner parts, clean air intake, check venting, check electrical connections, bleed gas line, and check gas pressure.
Gas water heater manuals recommend yearly maintenance by service technician.

In past years, gas water heaters required less maintenance, but they were less energy efficient and more dangerous to operate.

Sounds like you have Intellivent gas control valve thermostat.
Open following link to identify gas valve and see error codes:

Error light on vacation + 2 other lights = 3 possible conditions:
1) Wiring error: check outlet with circuit analyzer:

2) Pressure switch tubing not connected, air intake obstructed (clean intake), or vent exhaust obstructed (check for proper venting).

3) System in lockout: Low gas pressure, hot surface igniter not positioned correctly.

You can do some of this yourself.

When having a problem with pilot and burner, the place to start is troubleshoot section in your manual.
Whirlpool is probably made by Craftmaster which I believe is a Rheem company, and Rheem makes a number of different models.
Some models have specific manuals and others have generic manuals.
Open Rheem water heater page and click on water that matches your water heater. On page that opens, click on tab that says 'specs' and then download manual.

If none of those water heaters look like yours, open following link to help identify company website and download manual. Craftmaster website does not have instruction manuals.

All gas water heaters require periodic maintenance.
Some require yearly maintenance.
The burner parts require cleaning.

Before calling service technician, open following link for Rheem error codes and troubleshooting resources:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html

Error code C2 11 is 'no ignition'
Ensure you have gas to the appliance.
Ensure gas type and pressure are correct.
Bleed all air from gas lines.
Ensure gas line, meter, and regulator are sized properly.
Ensure appliance is properly grounded.
Check gas solenoid valves for open or short circuits.
Ensure igniter is operational.
Check igniter wiring harness for damage.

There is no service bulletin covering how to perform these actions.
Rheem will ask that you call qualified service technician, who can give you tips and tricks for keeping the unit working, including opportunity for yearly service that will eliminate the expected $1-8 monthly savings from owning tankless.
Read manual for yearly maintenance needed to keep unit working at prime efficiency.

Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.

Overall heater life is often dictated more by the pool maintenance history and chemical usage than location. Generally speaking up here in the Midwest you can expect 12 - 15 years of service life from a heater. More if it gets pampered with such treatment as proper winter covering and regular cleaning and maintenance. Far less if chemical issues arise in a pool and are not dealt with properly. A heater can fail in a matter of weeks if water conditions are that poor.

So, to answer your question; with proper installation, maintenance and water treatment I’d put it at 15 – 18 years before the heater will have spent itself from wear.
