About This Item
OEM Ignition Component for PowerMax Commercial Heaters
The Pentair 2400-286 is the OEM hot surface ignitor with gasket for PowerMax PM 500–2000 commercial pool heaters. If your heater is failing to light or cycling without ignition, this is the direct-replacement ignition component specified for this equipment line.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: LICENSED PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED
Gas and electrical heater components must be serviced by a licensed pool professional or qualified HVAC technician. Do not attempt to service gas or high-voltage components without proper certification.
The hot surface ignitor initiates combustion in the PowerMax burner assembly. When the ignitor degrades or fails, the heater will not achieve ignition — resulting in no-heat conditions or repeated lockout faults. The included gasket ensures a proper seal at the ignitor mounting point, preventing combustion gas migration. Replace both components together as a matched set; installing a new ignitor without the gasket risks seal failure and unsafe heater operation.

Pro Tip
Before ordering, confirm the part number stamped or labeled on your existing ignitor matches 2400-286. PowerMax commercial heaters span a wide BTU range — verify your specific unit's service documentation to confirm this ignitor applies to your model. Always replace the gasket at the same time as the ignitor; reusing a compressed or heat-degraded gasket is a common cause of repeat service calls on this equipment.
