I have the same gas Hayward heater. On hot summer days when the pool is 90° plus I noticed that the settings on my app, I can adjust the heater temp to close to 80°. Will this allow cold water to flow into the pool?
So if the heater has been running and you immediately turn off the pump then yes. The heat exchanger is hot and water will boil within it if the pump is turned off immediately. This typically causes the calcium in the water to separate into a solid state and scale the exchanger eventually causing the heat exchanger to clog. It's always best to shut off the heater, let the pool water run through it for 10-15 min as to not boil the water in the exchanger. As for the low flow code. That is normal when you turn off a pump. All heaters have pressure switches and when they don't sense water moving that code will show up.
Yes that is normal. The heater has a regulator that will mix cooler water with the hot water so swimmers don't get burned. To address heating the pool faster. The larger the heater obviously the faster it will heat the pool. In addition the larger heater will save you money in the long run. Find a good quality pool professional and see what a normal sized heater for your pool is and then potentially size up! You would have to consider going to a larger gas or propane line to fuel a larger heater. Your local pool pro should know how to look into all of that for you!

My Hayward gas heater has steam coming out of the exhaust?! Any ideas why? Thanks from Missouri
Should my donator be before or after the heater?

No diverter ? Shouldn’t high chlorinated or shock treated water go directly to return jets ? Instead of going through the heater ? Confused ?
How many kw is this pls
Does it damage the heater when it is on and the water pump turns off and the low flow error message appears?

Why does my pool heater have a compressor and a electric hookup? It looks more like an air conditioner than a heater to me.
