 This usually means that there isn't enough water flowing through the heater, which is usually caused by a clogged filter. [[pool|Backwashing the filter]] usually solves this problem. Backwashing the filter is straightforward and takes just a few minutes, instructions are on the Pool Page. If you're not comfortable doing this, call Diamanti. If backwashing the filter doesn't work, you need to call Diamanti.
-To backwash:
-- Unfurl hose attached to filter and position it away from pool as far as it will go
-- Open the cover on the pump control panel and turn off pump by pressing Start/Stop button. Wait for pump to stop.
-- Move multiport handle clockwise from "Filter" to Backwash" by pushing down on handle and turning.
-- Turn on the pump
-- Water will start ejecting from hose. Watch the clear port on the filter. It will turn cloudy then clear. This shouldn't take longer than a minute or so.
-- Turn off the pump
-- Move multiport handle clockwise from "Backwash" to "Rinse"
-- Turn on the pump
-- Let it run for like 30 seconds
-- Turn off the pump
-- Move multiport handle clockwise from "Rinse" to "Filter" (the original position)
-- Turn on the pump
-- Squeeze the hose from the filter side to the end to get the water out and roll it back up the way you found it
