Old Sta-Rite 9 pin heater
I have a 9 pin Sta-Rite natural gas water heater. I can't read the model number on the outside because it's worn away. It looks like a big black egg. My down temp button stopped working a few weeks ago. I ordered this as a replacement, as I read that the six pin can be used on the unit. Install took about 15 minutes. I had to undo the 4 screws holding on the cover, the two lynch pins holding the control module down and the 4 screws on the motherboard. I peeled off the old membrane, wiped the spot down with alcohol wipes then paper towel. When deciding what pins to use, I had to place/start it nearest to the small J6 on the motherboard. I'm not sure why that info was hard to come by. The only instruction I found on the INSYNC website said to start it on the opposite end, but that didn't work for me. I also read references to "starting it at the top", which doesn't make any sense. Peeled off the backing paper, stuck it on, and put everything back. It was very easy.

Works well, some delamination
Easy to install, worked perfectly. The only complaint I have was the lamination has air pockets in it which makes the panel seem less professional. Also I’m somewhat worried if that will impact longevity of panel. Otherwise it now gives me the ability to control the thermostat. Yeah!

Buy it
Works Great. It is always scary to buy an off brand, but at half the price of the OEM what did I have to loose. I installed it and it has worked perfectly with no installation issues.

Update
So far so good Update: lasted less than two years. The pool button won't decompress so you can't use spa or turn off the unit

Works perfect
Works just as well as the one one and the pigtail is longer so you can change it without dismantling the whole circuit board

Price was right
Worked great, but red cover on pool temp is hard to see. Unless it was something I was suppose to remove!
