Hi,
I’m having problems with my terrace pool running Balboa system. When starting up I get the message ”HTR TOO HOT” ”PRESS BTTN TO RESET” but nothing happens when pushing the buttons.

After a few minutes the pump starts for 10-20 seconds, and then stops.
It’s a good flow at the inlet nozzle and okey suction from the two outlet strainers.
I got this troubleshooting guide from my dealer
https://www.balboawatergroup.com/getdoc.cfm?id=1799
Followed and measured according to pages:
Page 21: fuses
F3 0,1A = 11,3 Ohm a bit high???
F5 1A = 0 Ohm
F6 30A = 0 Ohm
Page 24 heater resistance
Measures 19,9 ohm, a bit high compared to page 21 table ”ACCEPTABLE HEATER OHM (Ω) RANGES” but okey if I compare to table ”HEATER MATRIX”. What is correct?
Page 25
Same as instruction = ok
Page 28 voltage over fuse F6
Same voltage on both side of fuse = ok
Page 30 voltage over heater
No voltage detected. But the heater usually doesn’t start directly when pump start so maybe not a problem???
Page 34 test of sensors
Don’t really understand this part. I have switched the sensors on the main board, but same problem starting up system.
I have measured:
Sensor A (J17): 22,79 kohm
Also measured on the board pins (system off): 22,7 kohm
Voltage over sensor (system on): 1,67 V
Sensor B (J16): 22,77 kohm
Also measured on the board pins (system off): 23,1 kohm
Voltage over sensor (system on): 1,69 V
According to table on page 21: ~22 kohm -> 90F. Since I had 99 F in the pool at that moment I thought this was the problem, sensors gong bad, and if I lower the temp below 90 F the system will start. But no luck, added cold water until I reached 85 F. Still same problem when starting up the system.
Any idea what to do?
