Get a pool heater pro in to look the heater over. Depending on the age and overall condition of the unit repairs might be to costly. A newer more efficient unit might be a better way to spend your money and save money every time you use the heater. If you call a local pool company they may be able to recommend someone. Good luck.

i think you are on the right track. the gas company will verify the pressure going to unit but it sounds like the gas control valve on your heater may need to be adjusted. for that you will need a licensed gas fitter. call your local pool company or the company who installed the heater. directions on how to adjust the valve will be found in your owners manual

first be sure your water filter is clean and the pressure gauge works.....you may need to bleed the gas line to get fresh gas to the unit, you can use soapy water to check, that the fitting leak free, after bleeding at the block

The gas leak could be coming from somewhere other than the spa.
I recommend you get a gas fitter to check out your gas system.

The heater literally stinks for some time after it is installed as the fire tile burns in. Every heater we install makes my eyes burn if I get a good whiff of the fumes...Are you certain the utility actually tested the discharge air? My guess would be someone walked up and gave it a sniff and over-reacted to what is a normal odor from a new heater. You can of course double check your flames from below the burner tray. If they are nice bright blue standing 2 - 4 inches tall your heater is operating normally and the smell should subside shortly after it gets some steady use.

LO would be low water pressure. You may want to have a pro look at the heater only because it can be dangerous to work on it with out the proper knowledge.

I have Wiiliams direct vent wall furnace. I smell gas only when pilot is on and burner is not on. It does not smell when it is fully running (burner is on)

Dear Alex191: I am shocked and amazed that the Williams heater company is STILL knowingly and willingly selling faulty direct vent gas heaters. My problems took place in 1988! I bought a 30,000 BTU Williams DIRECT VENT from The Home Depot. I took the time to remove window sashes and run gas line to the Williams heater that I had placed in the window aperture. I was glad to finally have heat and be able to heat the area of the house where I stayed. Then I began to smell gas when the Williams was OFF. I traced it to the area where the pilot light gas tubing entered the combustion chamber. I removed the Williams unit and replaced it with an identical make and model and the SAME THING HAPPENED!!! I sat on my bed and almost cried. I had the gas company come out and they labled the problem as a "fuzz leak". The warranty repairman came out and had no idea what to do. Tightening the retaining nut did nothing. I called Williams and even back then they said that they were aware of the problem. They called me back and wanted to send me a part and asked me, "Can you work on it?" I returned the Williams and bought a Perfection-Schwank CONSOL heater that burns the air in the room and vents horizontally to a 4 inch vertical gas vent and was very satisfied with it. When they went out of business I bought an "Empire" brand gas heater. I don't know if I'll ever buy another direct vent heater from anyone. I will be glad to write an affidavit should you decide to suit the Williams company.
