Heater heats water but inlet hose shacks and metal banging noise inside inlet.
SOURCE: I have A hayward heater H100IDEVERYTIME the heater
The Hayward H100ID1 has a problem with the heat exchager header baffle becoming loose and allowing water to flow straight through the header, bypassing the heat exchanger. Low flow in the exchanger tubes boils and causes popping and unit shaking. There is a quick 30 minute fix for $0 here: https://sites.google.com/site/haywardpoolheater/
SOURCE: I have a H100ID1 natural gas heater. For the past
Is it leaking? Has anything shaken loose inside? If you can get it to light the cause and fix for the banging and shaking is here: https://sites.google.com/site/haywardpoolheater/
Takes about 30 minute and you are done, but you have to figure out what else has gone wrong to stop it lighting
SOURCE: Loud noises, shaking, visible white powder in chlorinator

For info about the part that breaks and how to fix it. YMMV.
Thank
you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.
The
Hayward H100 has a diverter plate welded into the header that helps direct some
of the water flowing thru into the heat exchanger to heat the water. If the
weld fails the diverter can interfere with that flow and cause overheating or
poor flow thru the heater which in turn can lead to the problems you describe.
Remove
the inlet side hose once you have blocked the flow of water from the pool and
you should see the diverter in the inlet. If you can move it then it is broken
and needs to be fixed back in place or the whole heat exchanger needs to be
replaced.
If
the diverter is not moving then your issue is likely an overall water flow one
and the next place to look is the filter. Poor overall system flow may be
enough to close the pressure switch telling the heater the pump is on but not
enough to keep the water in the exchanger from getting too hot, again causing
the symptoms you describe.
