garrygoeson :

Hi My name is Garry

garrygoeson :

The R=8 you are seeing on the display is only a revision number for the board and heater. It is NOT an error code.

garrygoeson :

if you can give more detail as to what your are setting and what other circumstances are going on when attempting to fire the heater, I can give suggestions to the possible cause.

Customer :

nothing happens i am just trying to heat my pool. I was just wondering if there was something i could try

garrygoeson :

If you're trying to fire the heater, and it won't come on, do you want to try and troubleshoot it, or have a service tech come out to look at it? I'm not sure what you want to try?
