Possible Causes

Aging or drifting temperature sensor, Poor circulation past sensor location, Stuck heater relay on Hydropool control board, Incorrect sensor placement in heater well

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Overheating can be dangerous; monitor water temperature with an external thermometer.

  • Verify with thermometer: Compare displayed temperature to an independent thermometer to confirm actual water temperature.
  • Check circulation: Ensure the circulation pump runs as programmed and that there is good flow past the heater and sensor.
  • Inspect sensor seating: Confirm the temperature sensor is fully inserted into its well and making good thermal contact.
  • Replace sensor: If readings are erratic, replace the Hydropool temperature sensor.
  • Board issue: If the heater continues to run past the setpoint with a good sensor, the heater relay or control logic may be faulty and require board replacement.
