To replace the gas valve on a Hayward H Series pool heater, first, ensure the heater is turned off and disconnected from the power supply. Remove the front panel and locate the gas valve; disconnect the gas line, electrical connections, and any mounting screws. Install the new gas valve by reversing the disassembly steps, ensuring all connections are secure and leak-free. Finally, restore power, turn on the gas supply, and test the heater for proper operation.
No, the Hayward H400ED1 pool heater does not have a pilot light. Instead, it uses electronic ignition, which means it ignites the gas burner electronically when heat is needed. This design enhances efficiency and eliminates the need for a continuously burning pilot light.
To start a Hayward pool heater, first ensure that the gas supply is turned on and the heater's power is connected. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. Open the heater’s control panel and press the "On" button or switch to start the ignition process, which may take a few moments. Once the heater ignites, monitor the display for any error codes and adjust settings as needed.
Electric pool heaters use electricity to capture heat. As the pool pump circulates the water, it is drawn from the pool and through a filter and into the heat pump heater. The heater itself has a fan that pulls in outside air and pushes it over the evaporator coil. At this point liquid refrigerant in the evaporator coil absorbs the heat from the outside air converting it into a gas. The gas is then passed through the compressor where it increases the heat. This very hot gas is then sent through the condenser where the hot gas is transferred to the cool pool water circulating through the heater. The heated water is then returned to the pool.A gas pool heater on the other hand uses the gas directly to heat the water by fueling the combustion chamber.
There are many gas pool heaters. Most are efficient and cost less to run than electric heating.

YOU cannot - you need to call a gas fitter.
A Heat Pump while more expensive to buy than a gas heater has much lower operating costs. It is also much cheaper to install requiring only an electrical connection instead of a gas supply line.
you need to be able to install the axaust so a professional is best.
