Examine Error Codes 
If you find that your power heater turns on but then keeps shutting off, this could indicate that you are having water pressure issues. Your first step would be to take a look at any error codes that might be displayed. 
If you see error codes, including “Lo/Hi” or “Flo,” then this is usually an indication that your pool heater is not getting enough water. Reasons that your pool heater may not be getting enough water include filter issues and pressure issues. 

Check The Filter 
If your pool heater is not getting enough water, then this could cause it to be faulty. Pool heaters rely on a steady stream of water to operate properly, and when this is interrupted, you will start to run into issues. To make sure that your pool heater is getting enough water, you need to check your filter. If you have a dirty filter with a lot of blockage, this will keep your pool heater from receiving an adequate amount of water. 
When checking your pool filter, make sure that you empty the skimmer and the pump baskets weekly. This will keep build-up from happening. Also, make it a point to keep the filter media clean as well. Lastly, you want to make sure that you’re running your pump for at least 8 hours. 

Check The Power 
When you are working on troubleshooting a pool heater, one of the most common culprits is the power source. Sometimes the fix can be as simple as making sure the pool heater is plugged in properly. 
Check to make sure that your pool heater is properly connected to the power source and that there are no electrical connection issues. As you inspect, keep a close eye on damaged wiring and take a look at the breaker to ensure that the pump is getting enough power to operate. 

Check The Temperature Settings 
Most pool heaters are incredibly temperamental when it comes to the temperature you set it at and the outdoor temperature. If your pool heater is not set to a high enough temperature, then it may not appear to be working (though it’s working just fine). 
Ensure that the pool heater’s thermostat has a higher temperature setting than the current water temperature of your pool. This way, the water being pumped in is warmer. 

The Pilot Light 
First check the pilot light – does it ignite? If not, it could indicate that the gas pressure is low, the heater isn’t venting properly, or the air getting to the heater isn’t great. If the pilot light is working, make sure the heater is turned on and the gas valve is in the “on” position. 

Leaks 
Sometimes, the chemicals used to clean your pool water can cause damage to the heat exchanger. It could just be a loose connection that you need to tighten or colder winter temperatures, but you may also need to replace the heat exchanger. 

Exhaust 
If your pool heater is pumping out dark exhaust, it could be building up way too much heat when it’s running. If this is happening, check the gas pressure and make sure your heater is venting properly. 

Rust 
Remember how I said your pool chemicals can cause damage to the heat exchanger? Well, those chemicals can also cause your heater to rust and corrode. You’ll want to replace those corroded parts to prevent any further damage.

I only had this for 3 weeks before I closed my pool for the year. But when I turned it on my pool was 68 degrees and within 12 hours it was 86°. That evening it got down to 46 degrees, and when I woke up and checked the temperature it was still sitting at 86 degrees.

This product works very good. Not too many people were swimming on Xmas, we were :) Yes, we live in Florida, but it does get a lil' chilly. After about 8 months we are having an issue with the temp-sensor (inlet), we thought it was the control board, but no go. The reason i'm giving 5-stars is because when I call I get right through to customer service. They're very helpful and follow-up on what they say they're going to do (emails/calls/shipping etc..). We have a 18,000 gal pool and this unit brings the temp up about 1 degree per hour. It does use a lot of power and your bill will jump up, but we only use it a few months out of the year. Compared to a traditional pool heater (heat pump) that I was quoted at $4,000...this Ecosmart 27 unit is a great buy!

This is a great product, been running this for about a week on a 28K gallon pool, unit tank is built well and made out of stainless steel despite older reviews saying it is not stainless possibly older model was not stainless? also cool feature is you do not need to have all three breakers on for example, i turned on only two of three breakers, (due to not having enough power in current load center) keeping one of the heating elements off and warmed pool quickly 6 degrees a day approximately

The instructions are not great for pool heater so I wanted to explain how it works for people that are new to heater buying such as myself. I have an intex pool and actually spent more on this heater then the pool but I wanted to put my pool in my garage and see if it would work and it did. The heater is awesome. The heater does take 2 50 amps, the package says 40 and some things say 50, we used 50 and it works, if you are handy you can do it or you will need to hire an electrician, you cannot just plug this thing in. We spent about $200 on pvc pipe, wires and stuff to get this heater working so it will cost more then just the heater. We have a sandfilter and we are able to put it on N to make the heater run faster through the pump, when the heater runs through on filtration it does not run as fast. I hope the pictures help. It took an afternoon to get it all set up. Our heater would not turn on right away and it was because the flow was not fast enough.

Very easy to install, added two fifty amp breakers to my shop sub panel and ran two 8-2 conductors, 4 wires, from breakers to power connection on heater. I'm using a 1.5 hp pool pump to pump the water from my pool to the heater which is in the shop about 50 away. Make sure you plumb inlet to bottom fitting and outlet to top fitting. It turns on automatically when it sees flow from the pool filter pump.
