Good afternoon, the BD error code would be for a BD Bad board or secondary high voltage fault. You would need to contact a service company.

I currently have the Haywood 400.000 btu unit, it appears that the 500,000 btu unit is the same but stronger and heats quicker, are they interchangeable? will there be any difficulty with the exsisting pipes or anything else?
Reply
Good afternoon, The PVC for the water and wiring would match. The Gas line would be the variable that would need to be addressed by the installer. It would depend on the run from the meter to the heater.

Hi, I have a Hayward H400 heater installed in 2007. It has been taking long to "click" on & would stay on for about 6-7 minutes then shut off with the IF code. Any suggestions? thank you, Paul
Reply
That would be an Ignition failure error. If the control exceeds the maximum number of ignition retries or recycles the heater will shut down and go into lockout. Automatic reset is 60 minutes.

I currently have a pentair heater that is at least 20+ years old that I am replacing. (1) will this heater work with my Easy Touch Automation Remote? (2) there is a 3/4 inch gas line running about 85 feet from my meter to the current heater. Will that work with this?
Reply
Hi, Bill. This heater will work with an EasyTouch Automation Remote 2-Wire. The gas connection at the heater is 3/4", this unit will only work with 3/4" gas line if you have a High-Pressure, 2-Stage application.

I'm opening the pool and starting up the Hayward heater, there is a crossover pipe between the inlet and outlet on the heater, is the crossover pipe in the open or closed position during normal operating function? I have it in the closed position but the heater keeps turning on and off. What is wrong? Thanks
Reply
Hi, Jack. The valve should be in the opening position. The water flow might be too much for the unit.

I want to install the Hayward Lownox heater on my pool but I live in the mountains at 3,000 foot elevation; do I need to buy a special high elevation heater?
Reply
Hello George, The Hayward Universal Low Nox are self adjusting up to 10,000 feet of elevation. Any installation above 2,000 feet will require a special restriction plate to be installed. Luckily, that plate comes standard with every heater so no need to purchase it separately.

Yes the H400FDN would be the correct replacement for the H400IDL heater. Yes this heater would be compatible with any external controller you were using on the H400IDL.

Heater model # H400FDN, can be used on pools of all different sizes? The larger the BTU's the quicker the pool will get warm
Reply
The required size of a heater depends on the size of your pool or spa and how fast you want to heat up your pool. In the northern states you will probably want the larger heaters to compensate for the colder temperatures. Above ground pools use heaters from 55K to 130K BTUs. In ground pools and spa general run from 100K to 400K BTU. For an average 15' x 30' pool (15,000 gallons), a 300K BTU heater would raise your pool temperature 2 degrees per hour; a 400K BTU heater, 2.7 degrees per hour. For a 20' x 30' pool (20,000 gallons) the temperature rise for 300K and 400K heaters would be 1.5 and 2 degrees respectively. By contrast these same heaters would raise the temperature of an average size spa 30 degrees in 35 and 20 minutes respectively.

How can I tell the difference between a Propane or Natural Gas heater listed on your website?
Reply
A heater's model number will usually end with an 'N' or a ''P' to denote the gas type. if the model number is only numbers we also have the gas type in the description of the product. The abbreviations "NG" is for natural Gas and "LP" is form Liquid Petroleum, also called Propane.

Is a vent required for typical outside installation for the Hayward 150k Ng Lo Nox heater?
Reply
For the Hayward Lo Nox heater, you would not need to purchase an additional vent if you are using it outside. If you are installing the heater outside, we recommend you purchasing a heater cover. This will protect your heater from debris, rain, snow, heat- or pretty much anything that could get caught in your heater. The Weather-Out Pool Heater Cover can be viewed on our website.

What is the difference between an Electronic and Millivolt ignition?
Reply
The basic answer is that Millivolt is the old style of ignition, using a standing pilot light. While the electronic ignition uses a spark start system like a gas grill. Electronic ignitions are more efficient in gas usage and also are better suited for high wind areas where a pilot light might get extinguished.
Reply
Will a gas heater operate at the low speed of a dual speed motor?
Reply
Probably not - Most gas heater will shut off at low GPM levels (20-40) to keep the heater cores from overheating - 20 for 200 BTUs, 40 for 400 BTUs. Depending on your pool system you might get these GPM levels at the low speed but generally these heaters must be run at the motor's high speed.

Asked INYOPOOLS.COM forum which heaters were recommended. Got a reply almost immediately and proceeded to look through internet for best price on that brand/model. INYOPOOLS.COM not only had an extremely competive price but also provided the knowledge on which product would work best for my needs and info on how to install it.
Got heater from delivery service - they placed right in front of garage. Heater was heavy but not too much for two adults to move into place. Old heater was already removed from exisiting pad. Connected gas line with minimal adjustments to old setup. Replumed pool PVC lines as it was slightly different setup than old Jandy heater. Tested elecrircal volts to confirm it was 240v. Connected electric and tested heater - it kicked right on after about 30 seconds.
Was in hot tub that night enjoying!

I had this heater installed by a plumber and electrician in about 30 minutes! It is so quiet that the only noise is from the flames on the burner, and it heats my pool water at about 2 - 3 degrees per hour. Plus, because I live in the Northeast I have to winterize my filter, etc. This heater is very easy to winterize as the instructions are precise and very easy to follow. A perfect pool heater!

(4 out of 5 stars) Great Heater! Terrible Delivery Method
Reviewed By: Jarrod S. from Lewisville, TX ()
Pros: Temperature settings
Cons: Delivery
The heater was easy to install and operate. I love the digital thermostat because you can not only set it at a specific desired temperature but you can also see the current temperature. I gave it 4 stars because of the Delivery, It came on a 50ft trailer so I actually had to meet the driver in a parking lot outside my neighborhood. It was a good thing I had a truck or this would not of been possible. I was also charged an additional $10.00 for a lift gate fee which was pointless since we slid it off into my truck. With that being said the Heater looks good and performs even better. The delivery was a joke.
