I have a Master temp 400. The temp sensor on the heater says water temp is 102 but measures only 95 degrees.I think the sensor needs calibration. Is this possible? Thanks

SOURCE: Heater shuts off 10 degrees before pool reaches the set temp.

The thermistor is probably failing and needs to be replaced. You can probably replace it yourself. We sell the part at www.arrwomotor.net

Inside the water manifold their is a by-pass asembly that may be the problem. If this is bad it will let to much water go past the heater rather than through it. The water inside the heater overheats then shuts the heater down more cool water workes it's way into the heater and it starts again. You may also have a by-pass valve on the plumbing going to the heater, this will give the same problem if not closed enough. You will find it in between the inlet and outlet pipes and it should be closed 80-90% of the way. I hope this helps, good luck.

If this heater has pool mode and spa mode as an option, and you need the water higher than 84 degrees, you must set it to spa mode even if it is a pool. As a regulation, these heaters come pre-set to max out at 84 degrees as a safety feature. However, in spa mode it can reach 104degrees.

Just installed new rs8pcb and temp sensor. Set at 104,only reaches 102, why?

Try calibrating your Jandy controller to the temperature of the heater. Temp sensor could be off by two degrees

Master Temp 400 reading 32 degrees on LED read out and the remote control is reading 62 degrees. What can cause the difference?

The control panel has its own temp sensor which is a probe into your plumbing. It's typically found between the pump and the filter and is held on by band clamps.

The heater has its own temp sensor found on the header manifold area.

i doubt the water is 32 degrees so I assume the heater temp probe is bad, it needs to be replaced, it's plugged into the circuit board and threaded into the header of the heater.

The two sensors should match or be within one degree of each other for ideal operation.

The reason they have separate temp sensors is to protect the system.

I have a Starite 400 natural gas spa heater that I replaced circuit board last year and worked fine thereafter. This year when I fire up the spa, once the temperature of the water hits 100 degrees the...

Is this a stand alone water or is it run by a control panel?

If you have a control panel that turns it on then make sure the temp reading for the heater display and the other control panel are the same or within 1 degree of each other.

If it a stand alone heater woh. Onautomation controlling it, you would want to check the actual water temp of the water to see if it matches the heater readout.

If it does then you want to heat it back to 100 , once the service light comes back on, look at the back of the circuit board, most likely you will see a hL-1 or hL-2 with a red lobby next to it.

These are high limit sensors....if one of these has a red light next to it then you need to ensure proper water flow , possibly clean your filter and ensure flow.

If it persists then the issue could be internal heater parts, thermal regulator, bad bypass, failing high limit sensor.

Pentair 400 2 yrs old won't heat spa to 98 degrees F.

This could be a number of things. Most often it will be the internal by-pass. You find the assembly inside the water header, it controls water flow through the heater. When it goes bad it can open at a low temp and keep the water from going through the heater.
Also you will want to check the temp probe on the side of the header. If this is bad it will usually show up on the temp display though.

I have a minimax ch 150 heater and the heater is running but the water coming out is not as hot as it used to be. Though the heater is extremely hot on the outside. Any tips?

Check your SENSOR. With the Minimax ch heater, you might be using an 'IntelliTouch' panel that controls your equipment. If you are, check the reading that the panel says the water temperature is and then check the temperature of the water 'coming out' (spa??) manually with a floating thermometer. When the heater cycles off, check the difference between the 2 numbers. Say the panel says 102 & the thermometer says 95?? - that is a faulty sensor, telling the heater that the water has reached 102, so it cycles off before ever getting hot. If you're not using the IntelliTouch, you will be checking the display panel on the actual heater itself & again the floating thermometer. Now... if the temperature is less than a 4 degree difference you can always calibrate/or have calibrated the heater.
