Your heater may or may not be still under warranty. Call the installer/builder to start the warranty process.
If your heater is still under warr. and they determine that the leak is caused by improper chemistry balance your warranty is then terminated or voided. The leak may be a bonified leak thru a defect in assembly. The leak can only be determined or located thru an inspection of the heater. The heater will be disassembled and the heat exchanger will be inspected for damage among other things.
If your pool water chemistry is the determining factor for the leak, you have no recourse. This will be an expensive lesson to you to maintain water chemistry (pH and total alkalinity) in the proper ranges. Alkalinity range below 80 ppm and pH range below 7.0 make the water very aggressive on the acidic side of the scale. k

A heater core in a vehicle takes some of the heat from the coolant and runs it through a heat exchanger. The blower in the car that blows hot air into your car runs through that heat exchanger which heats the air that enters your car.
What causes knocking sound from heat exchanger when a teledyne laars heater is heating?
The noise is coming from the heat exchanger located just above the burner tray. One or more of the heat exchanger tubes has become blocked or reduced in size from calcium buildup - - - improper adjustment of your pool's pH which can happen is a short period of time. The knocking is caused by steam or the lack of proper water flow through the exchanger tubes. Someone, and I am not mentioning names has not done their job of maintaining the pool properly. If left alone the exchanger will fail and you will have a great expense of replacing the heater. Another possibility is that the heater by-pass valve is failing. You need a qualified pool tech to advise. He can only assess the problem through a heater visual inspection --- that means disassembling the heater to look at the exchanger tubes. Sorry for your misfortune. k
