Sounds like a limit switch, although it might mot be bad. If the filter is cleaned, and you have a good return from the pool jets, then you may have a problem with the flow valve in the heater. I would try to bypass the limit switches and see if that stops it, but it is dangerous. If you feel capable enough to try, only do so if there is a pressure relief valve on the header (does not come with heater, but if it was installed correctly then the installer would have to have put one on).
