I plan to use a hacksaw to remove the heads of the bolts that are rusted and then slide off the manifold since the bolts only screw into the heater and not into the actual manifold itself so if I remove the good bolts, then saw off the heads of the rusted ones, it should slide right off for me...

I removed some and no water came out. Probably the heat exchanger as stated above.

Thanks. I'm going to replace the manifold with the 10 bolts and do some checking to see what is rusting out beyond that. In the meantime, I have to drill and use a screw removal bit to get 5 of the 10 bolts out. Lots of fun. I'll report back as this develops. Also, regarding the pool...

Here are some more photos. This unit was rusty like this when we bought the house 3 years ago, so this is more of the same. It may have a slow leak or it is the humidity (we are in North Houston) and between that and the saltwater, and possibly a small leak, it is rusting. I would like to...

I have a SW pool and evidently the saltiness of the water rusted out the contacts for the HLS on my Max E Therm SR400NA heater. I replaced the HLS, added new sliding L shaped connectors, etc.... My question is how to avoid the rusting in the future? Perhaps I need to cover it with a rubber...

So I have a portable volleyball net setup with bases on either side of the pool that are not anchored to the pool deck in any way. The idea is you fill up the bases with water and that provides weight to relatively keep them stable. Well, after a while, they leak water and they lighten up and...

See this post for background. https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/polaris-quattro-sport-side-pressure-cleaner-drive-shaft-repair-and-fix.283053/#post-2489837 Does anyone know a good plastic adhesive that will hold in saltwater under torque to fix my driveshaft? Epoxy? Thanks.

I have a Polaris Quattro Sport and I have messed around with it a bit (replaced drive shaft, etc...). If the drive shaft was broken and it is doing the exact same thing before and after, that's interesting. I say this because I had a broken drive shaft and the symptom was one of the turbines...

If you think you are rather handy and can figure things out, I highly recommend, when you begin having trouble with your cleaner (probably side pressure cleaners may be best for this task), buy a nonworking model off Ebay for really cheap and use it for spare parts. This is probably an approach...

See this thread. Was able to fix as per the last post in this thread. So thankful for this forum and YT! Probably saved me $500-$1000. https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/prologic-check-system-no-cell-power-2-error.178022/
