Quick answer
The water-flow switch does not match the current operating state.
Severity: high · DIY difficulty: easy
Safety
Stop at the exterior: power-cycle at the disconnect, clean the filter/basket, and check for obvious water-flow blockage. Pool heaters combine gas piping, 240 V wiring, and (on heat pumps) refrigerant — burner, control-board, and sealed-system work requires a licensed technician. If you smell gas, shut the gas valve and leave the area first.
What WPS Stuck Closed / Water Sw Open means
The water-flow switch does not match the current operating state.
Code meaning varies by series
- X94 / SR-410 (Professional Series Digital): WPS Stuck Closed: valves not operated because the water flow switch is closed and Valve Chng Delay is enabled. Water Sw Open: heat not running because the water flow switch is open.
First checks before service
1. One-time fault event (power disturbance or transient sensor reading) common DIY
Check: Power-cycle at the breaker/disconnect (or unplug for CPAP), restore, and run the system while watching for the code.
Fix: If the code does not return after a full run cycle, the fault was transient — monitor, no repair needed.
2. Fault persists after a clean reset occasional pro only
Check: If the code returns immediately or every session, note the conditions (startup, heating, after rain).
Fix: A persisting code points at the component the manual assigns to this code — that repair is technician territory.
