Guest Don Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Has any one had problems with Pentair pool heaters? I have a Minmax ch 200 used about 4 month’s total. Out of the blue it starts putting out black smoke. I checked the propane pressures (all ok) checked for any thing on the heat exchanger nothing. I contacted Pentair, after a week convincing them it wasn’t my gas pressure they had a local pool repair place come out. Two days of missed appointments a guy shows up looks at the burner says I have a clogged jet and leaves. Get a call back next day it will be at least two weeks to get the part. I live in Michigan and three weeks and counting is most of the swim season. My advice is to be wary of Pentair products. I had heard when I bought the heater they were reliable. Obviously that can’t be said for the Pentair warranty. Any Ideas or faster source for parts would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
