There is a few places online once you know the part number. I went with Discount Pool Mart.

What is the best way to clean these sensors?
-
The temp controls are set all the way to the hottest point, so yes, the heater shuts off after about 15 to 20 minutes. If I try to restart I can not get it to go again for a while.

Thank you - I really appreciate your advice. I just removed the brass fitting and made sure it was clear and it was. I just started the heater and again it shut off after about 15 minutes or so.

ok so I pulled out the flame sensor rod and used a little sand paper to clean off. Also checked the wire and the connections and they appear to be fine. Fired it up again and still have the same problem. the heater stays on for about 20 minutes or so and then shuts off well below desired temp.
-
Perhaps the flame proving rod has gotten just sooted enough to make it shut off intermittently. Check the rod for soot build up, and a good wire from it to the board.

Very interesting that we all have similiar issues at one time or another. Now mine is lighting fine, stays lit for a while, and then shuts off before the water gets warm. What do you suppose is going on here and what is the fix?

I'm not harping on you, but always remember, easy does it and simple kicks butt.
Any heater that lights, and then shuts off, should first be checked for a faulty or dirty flame detector. If you heater ran great when it was new, a gas flow issue is not likely (not impossible - but not likely).
My Jandy did the same thing. Fortunately, the furnace is my X wife's house was doing the same. Cost her 56 bucks to have the "flame detector" cleaned....so, I followed suit. Found a fractured wire leading to my flame detector on my pool heater, corrected it - runs great ever since.
I too was considering gas flow, water flow, dirty filters (even though my pump is way over powered), but when I heard her heater in her home doing the same thing, and then found out the repair - I knew where to look on my Jandy.
I called the pool heater guy out, he charged me 105 bucks to tell me I was right - and then I cut him off from the repair - I just stripped the wire down to clean wire and soldered it back on....
My pool is 88 degrees right now - and I'm going swimming with a few beers....LOL....
P.S. - my Jandy is 6 years old and has had this problem since it was new.....at first it was just every once in a while...and it got worse and worse until it took an acto of God to get it to stay lit.......now - first time - every time.
Good Luck.

How do I know which I need to replace or service? One person says it is definitely the sensor and the other says the cell.
