About raypak pool heater maintenance
Each brand uses its own codes and control boards. Sending the model number and the code on the display before the visit helps us bring the right parts.
Warranty work may need to go through the manufacturer or dealer. Check your warranty terms first.
A pool heater only works when water flow, gas supply, ignition and safety switches all line up. The pump must move enough water to close the pressure switch, the gas valve must open, the igniter must light the burner and the flame sensor must prove the flame. If any link fails, the heater locks out and the display shows a code, or nothing at all.
In Ontario the swimming season is short, so pool heaters spend half the year sitting idle under snow. Mice nest in cabinets, spiders build webs in burner tubes and water left in the heat exchanger can freeze and crack it if winterizing was skipped. Many of the calls we see in May are caused by what happened in November.
Heaters also depend on water chemistry. Low pH or high chlorine eats copper heat exchangers from the inside, and scale builds up when calcium is high. We check the heater and look at the bigger picture so the repair lasts.
Raypak equipment notes
Raypak heaters come in millivolt and electronic ignition versions, and the troubleshooting path differs between them.
We are an independent service provider. No manufacturer affiliation or authorization is claimed. See Raypak equipment we service.

Repair or replace?
Igniters, flame sensors, pressure switches, thermistors and gas valves are reasonable repairs on most heaters. A unit under about ten years old with a sound heat exchanger is usually worth fixing.
When a heat exchanger leaks on an older heater, replacement often costs a large share of a new heater and it may be wiser to replace the whole unit. We give you both numbers so the choice is clear.
Book spring startups in April or early May. Heaters that are opened, cleaned and tested before the pool opens rarely surprise their owners on the first warm weekend.

Sample review for design preview, not a real customer
The pool heater in our Vaughan backyard showed an ignition code every spring. They found a nest in the burner tray and cleaned everything out.
Sample review for design preview, not a real customer
Pool heater in Pickering would not turn on. It turned out to be a pressure switch, and the price was explained before the repair.
