Hayward Pool Heater Thermosatat Replacement
I need to replace the thermostat on my above ground hayward "H" series Induced Draft Pool Heater.
The existing thermo sprung a leak @ the point where the sensor probe inserts into the water return area.
I'm not sure how the new sensor is held in place at the heater water flow area. There are not any threads & it appears as if the probe is just stuck into the hole.
Do I use plumbers putty, or something of that type?
The water pressure leads me to believe seems it wouldn't hold. No directions came with the new thermo & I'm at a loss.
Any help "Please"
