I have a Waterco ElectroheatXL Titanium 55 pool heater but when I divert the water from the pool through the heater, it pours out of the bottom of the heater & the digital readout says 'nFL'. I have no idea what is going on as it worked perfectly last year and I have followed the winterising instructions to the letter! This the first time that I have tried to use it this year. Thank you for any ideas

You need to check the heater for cracked tubing and split connections. nFL means no flow so it is saying that no water is getting into the heater.
Hi domedoc2...
From what it sounds like to me, you have a broken water line/pipe or fitting going to your pool heater, or maybe a fitting leaking.
Even winterising will sometimes not clear all the water from the water lines and cause them to burst over the winter.
You will need to disassemble the box that the heater is in in order to check and repair the broken water line, once that is done it should clear your digital readout warning...
One suggestion that I will make is to intstall a clear plastic (rubber) hose in the water line just before it goes into you water heater, that way if it does freeze up again this will burst instead of the plastic pipes or fittings next time it freezes and will be easy to replace.
Hi domedoc2...
I found that very surprising that the housing of the pump cracked, normally you can order that part for replacement.
I could not find a Waterco store in the US or UK...but did find this one in Austrialia
