How many ohms should an inducer motor have?
Ohm reading should be: Approx. 55.6 to 65.2 ohms.
How long do inducer Motors last?
20 years
Barring unforeseen issues, a high-quality inducer motor is designed to last up to 20 years. Heat and other factors can shorten its lifespan, but it’s not the type of part you should replace every decade. Inducer motors are also not necessarily something easy to repair.
Why does my pool heater not come on?
Damage to your heat exchanger can be caused by incorrect water chemistry, which is why it’s critical to keep your pool water balanced. Issues with your heat exchanger can cause the heater not to come on that includes corrosion, cracks, and leaks, which all may stop the heater working.
How to troubleshoot a gas pool heater ignition?
Make sure the heater switch is in the ON position. This includes the switch on the heater and the main power supply breaker for the heater. Ensure that all valves are in the OPEN position.
Why do I need a pressure switch on my pool heater?
Close water features, or alternate them, until the pool heats to the desired temperature. The purpose of the pressure switch is to ensure that water is flowing through the unit before it allows the heater to turn on. The pool pump must be ON and your filter clean for the switch to close and allow voltage to pass through.
Why is my pool pump not working properly?
If the pool pump is not operating with enough power, this can cause your pool heater to have issues. A lot of times, when you first install a pool heater, the pool pump may not be strong enough to bring water into the heater with an adequate amount of pressure. One easy fix for this is by upgrading the pool pump to provide the necessary pressure.
Why is my pool heater not turning on?
Solution: If your pool heat pump isn’t receiving the power it needs from the breaker, then it won’t power on at all. But if the heat pump was previously working and no longer turns on, a damaged electrical connection could be the problem.

Why does my pool heater have low Freon pressure?
Low Freon pressure. This error code happens most when it is too cool outside to heat. High Freon pressure. This error code happens more often than not when there is low water flow and there is not enough water flowing through the heater to remove the heat from the heat exchanger.
