Every 3 minutes it stop
Would I need a filter on the intake for the boiler
Way back in the 1970’s we used to sell tankless heaters for use on above ground pools. Our heaters ran on natural gas and worked quite well.
Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Grab Handle Drink Cup Holder for your 2021 Polaris RZR XP Turbo
Did you have to purge your coolant system afterwards?
Have you had any issues with the pool chemicals eating away at the internal piping of the tankless gas water heater? There was a forum I was reading online and I can’t tell if the information I was reading was accurate or not. So I thought I would consult someone who has already installed the tankless water heater as a pool heater.
What steps did you use for inside the pool?
How did you wire the pump? I was considering trying a submersible pump just to see if it worked but I like the setup
Hi there buddy,how is that Heater running??I just bought one the other day!Thank you .
The fitting to reduce to the hose would be greatly appreciated i found ones that will thread on at home depot and grabbed an intex gasket pack on amazon but the size that goes on the cut off end to and from the pool would be greater appreciated if this doesn't work for me
I shopped a camper shell for awhile. I noted that during the pandemic demand and prices surged, quality tanked. I don't see this changing anytime soon, sad.
Is the 3/8 gas line still working for you. I have a 1/2 inch by the pool but about 25 feet from my 1 1/4 line. Hoping its enough.
You can go get a water column measuring tool. My 3/8th BBQ line is 40ft long and it still reads 10" (max is 10.5 on 156a model for natural gas). You SHOULD be good with 1/2inch. Highly recommend just testing it though. The tool is all of $30-40
did you buy it used on ebay?
I just got one and will run it out of the same outlet but I hear mix reviews about making sure to shut the heater of sooner then the pump I have mine on a timer so both will shut of at the same time
It would have been real nice if you at least would have shown us how you started the thing up
Are you still on 36’ length of the hose 3/8 inch flex pipe ? Is it working fine ? Enough natural gas to the heater..?
Where is your sediment trap on the pool heater??
Turn volume up!
I have almost the exact same pump and setup but my pump motor gets SUPER HOT. Does yours get hot like that?
It did. I have since ditched that setup for a Raypak unit.
Do you mind elaborating on that? I would love to hear what works better.
Well, my experience goes right along with all the comments here. Truck is kept inside but outside in the rain it leaks like hell from day one. Tried talking to the boneheads at the dealer and finally just walked away.
My local installer / authorized dealer offered to fix it, but I found this more convenient to me.
how many btu's was it most likely too small for that size pool also heat it with a solar cover on will work better.
Not sure how many BTU it was. I disliked the solar cover because I have a walk-in swim step and the skimmer gets in the way. Since this is southern California, I keep it open and ready rear round.
it'll be simpler to just put a submersible pump on the end of the cold water intake.. but still this is pretty cool
True
So I recieved the Leer 100XR topper about 3 weeks ago. 1st rain storm 2 weeks ago I saw water dripping in both front right and left corners from the carpet. I was really disappointing after paying out $3,500. I took it down to the dealer that I bought it from and they scheduled me for a leak test. On the day of the leak test I stood by and watched the young men. Their conclusion was that water is getting in at both rear right and left sides of the topper door latch areas and creeping down along the carpeted edges to the front corners. And in the kids words, “I will have to cut out all this carpet back here on the corners and it’ll probably look like shit.” I did not accept that answer or the 2 young men’s finding. I directed them to put there hose on the front drivers side top corner area and side window of the topper to see if the intensity of the water drip would increase. It did increase so they lifted up the topper and packed a small amount of putty in the corners and set it back down and called it fixed. I was not at all impressed with their findings and or repair. I agreed to leave it at that. Wasn’t worth my time to push for more leak testing and accept the comment, “Well that should do it and if not just bring it back,” as I could see the lack of experience. So on the 2nd rain storm the topper continues to leak as indicated earlier. I do not believe these kids working at the Leer dealership are capable or experienced enough find leaks and or make repairs (Being brand new it should not leak at all !!) With today’s rain I went out with a flash light and paper towels and found that the water is leaking in through the lower perimeter and sides of the front window. My paper towel would also become damp when tamping it around the side windows. I am very disappointed with my purchase and am experiencing BIG time buyers remorse. I would expect to have talented and experienced personnel to make the repairs or have some kind of monetary compensation so I can make the repairs myself or seek out someone who can. Your KZread video on the quality of Leer toppers says it all. All the negative comments with the quality of Leer toppers also speaks volume. If I knew then what I know now about the quality of Leer toppers……All I can do now is to share my experience. Like you said, meth heads putting these things together. LEER toppers are total garbage.
Wow, what an experience!
@@3DaysAway I just want to thank you for posting this video. I’m going to go ahead and re-seal the side windows on my new topper. It is going to help now that I know after watching. Worth 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 🌟 and 👍👍 two thumbs up.
@@renezamora4879 I think thats a great idea. Easy to do for sure!
Is the 1/2" connection inside the heater where you attached the steel pipe male or female?
Female I believe. But unfortunately I'm not at home right now to check.
😴 *promosm*
Yup
Northwestern Indiana here was thinking about doing this set up don’t have the funds for a gas heater until next year the pool and install wiped me out 😅but deff going to need some heat how many tanks do you use for your pool how long does it take to heat up
We no longer use this method. We traded up to a Raypak natural gas unit.
Where did you ground the heater
Amazon
Hurry up! 😮
Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Soft Cab Enclosure Upper Doors for your 2021 Polaris RZR XP Turbo 2 seat
I no longer have the stock cage.
@@3DaysAway hi, thank you let me know
Is there a need to replace the thermostat housing that connects to the block? Someone told me that the factory ones have a poor flowrate.. Truck is throwing this code, and has 200k miles on it. Any suggestion there??
I am not familiar with a code for that. What code do you get?
Is there a Raypack heater that works on propane?
I believe you can call them about possible solutions
Looked like a great time 5 1/2 years ago😃Thank you for sharing👍🏻Happy Easter to the both of you🥚ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻
Happy Easter! We made this video but decided it wasn't appropriate for the BBQ Channel, then we never uploaded it to 3 Days Away... we have alot of shorts from various trips we're going to process on of these days!
This was soooo much fun to film! We mounted a GoPro Hero 4 Black to the sled. Very cool!
Did it add any additional lift ?
Yes, it did if I wanted more. I went with the recommended front/rear for my setup. Shock Therapy will help you with that.
Mine is leaking as well, in the exact same spot as many others. I built a really solid nice sleeping flatform and it all git molded and ruined because of this leal. Leer is dog shit!
😂
❤
i had one of those.. it sucked. could barely even get 1 degree of heat in a pool.
Great video thanks. I have a spring project now I’m looking foward to. Frameless ranch topper got second hand. Frames been leaking since buying. Do you have a link for the tapping screws?
Sorry, I do not.
I am planning to try this this weekend. You mentioned something about the key way for the fan bracket. How do you remove it safely. Also, did you drain the coolant before removing the hose and thermostat housing?
Dang! I just ordered the Leer 100xr three days ago for my F-150. It was also in the $3500 price range. Yeah, that’s some pretty scabby workmanship. Now I’m having buyers remorse. Damn!
Sorry to hear, usually the dealers will gladly do the repair for cheap.
How those o reilys thermostat holding up?
So far so good. I live in coastal california so the weather is not severe.
Horrible video said u was going to show us why we needed the 1/2 inch wrench then proceeds to not show what u used it for or anything
I have a similar Leer top with the frameless side windows. Both sides are not centered and one is so off center that the glass touches the shell and has chipped the paint off. Since I am not the original owner Leer won't do anything about it and the Leer shop won't touch it to avoid responsibility if it breaks while removing to re-center the window. How hard was it to get the window seal to release once you removed the inside metal frame? I have a set of plastic trim tools/prybars that I will use. Just trying to get an idea of how likely it would be to break the window if carefully removing it.
It was not that hard to push out.
It seems really cool to put it all together, i have some grandkids that are wild on the pool and they splash everywhere. If the heater gets wet will it be ok.
Since its battery operated I would imagine some minor splashing wouldn't hurt. But I don't recommend this type of heater anymore. I now have a Raypak natural gas heater.
I have the same truck cap and is leaking the same way as your ,shitty quality from leer 🤦🏼♂️I'll be sealing with a windshield urethane glue hope it fixes it. ,good video 👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
How many hours can this gas water heater work continuously per day?
Not very long, maybe 4 or 5 hours.
Great video 👍 good job well explained.
Thank you! 👍
i have the same rig ditched that rv mattress so uncomfortable.Put a real queen pillowtop makes all the diffrence.
Thanks for watching!
That is the fuel system test port that you referred to as a refrigerant port. Also the duramax was co developed with Isuzu.
Thank you
