Mick Cheesehead Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I have lowered the set to 94 from 100 and it is 102. It has been in the 90's here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NO1UNO Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Ambient air temp and direct sun light can cause your water to heat without the heater. It's probably nothing but if you'd like to check it you'll need to drain off a little water and add fresh to bring the temp down below your set point, somewhere in the low 90's is good. Once the it's cooled, set your temp to 2 degrees above whatever the current reading is. If the unit runs the temp up to the set point and cuts out, no worries. If it keeps going past the set point by more than a degree then you may have an issue. Do it at night if you can when the temp outside is below what your water temp becomes once you cool it. Like I said though, it's probably nothing. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
