Common Pool Heater Complications
Pool heaters can malfunction for a variety of reasons. Any pool heater repair should be handled by skilled and certified pool repair technicians. In general, pool heaters require more skilled contractors than pool pumps since their components can be highly complex. Here’s a list of some of the most common heated pool complications we’ve encountered:
Heater Fails to Turn On
Your pool heater failing to turn on could be as simple as a dirty or clogged filter. A clogged filter can cause your heater to turn off completely. If your heater is electrical, it could mean that the inside terminals have corroded. It’s always a good sign to schedule a maintenance appointment if your heater doesn’t turn on.
Not Heating Your Pool Properly
You could find that your heated pool isn’t a heated pool if your heater is malfunctioning. A clogged or dirty filter can also cause improper heating, but it could also be that the heater isn’t the correct size to heat your pool thoroughly. Depending on the size of your filter, it might not be able to generate enough heated water to keep your pool at a constant temperature.
Strange Noise
It’s never a good sign if your pool heater makes noises such as a grating or a grinding sound. A dirty or clogged filter can also cause this. Strange sounds can also be the result of failure or fault pressure switches. When this happens, it’s highly recommended to call a professional.
Your Pool Heater Cycles On and Off
A straightforward issue usually caused by a water flow issue, a dirty filter, or a closed valve. Sometimes, this issue can be caused by the thermostat requiring a new one installed.
Leaking Pool Heater
Over the lifespan of your pool heater, the chemicals used to keep your water balanced can damage the heat exchanger. Another cause is lower winter temperatures; sometimes, you must replace the exchanger.
