For issues regarding"LO" [Hayward],"Check Flow" [Jandy]or"Water SW Open" [Raypack/Rheem]displayed on the heater, the issue can likely be traced back to a waterflow issue as opposed to a heater issue. The result of poor flow is the heater will not turn on (this is by design), leading to cold water. To remedy these flow errors, check the following:
These resolutions assume that all the equipment is serviceable and that the device inside the heater called the “pressure switch” is functional. Sometimes the electrical connections inside the heater become corroded leading to intermittent operation as well. But first we must eliminate all non-heater related possibilities before inviting a costly HVAC technician over to troubleshoot the heater itself. More often than not these error messages are typically describing a water flow issue and not a heater malfunction. These errors are not to be confused with Ignition Failure Errors which are gas, igniter, flame sensor or other gas/heater component malfunctions. This memo is ONLY about these specific errors.
Here are the error messages again. PLEASE NOTE WHICH BRAND OF HEATER YOU HAVE
"LO" [Hayward]
"Check Flow" [Jandy]
