A pool heater or spa heater can be set to heat the entire pool or just the spa, depending on each pool’s setup. It can be used to begin the swimming pool season a few weeks early, extend the season for a few extra weeks, or heat the pool up for a winter holiday party (heating for a winter holiday party will take some extra time and natural gas).
Pool heater or spa heater issues can at times be very simple repairs.
When there is poor water flow from a pool pump issue, leaking suction valve, or a dirty pool filter, the pool heater’s safety features could prevent the heater from trying to ignite. There are several other safeties that the pool heater will check before allowing ignition. A few simple pool heater issues:
There are times when the repairs are not so simple:
Depending on the issue, age, and general condition of the pool or spa heater, there are times when it is better to replace, than to repair.
The service we provide is pretty well turn-key. All we ask of you, is to keep the pool full of water, pay invoices on time and be an extra set of eyes and ears between our visits. If you see something odd or hear a funny sound, reporting it quickly can prevent costly repairs.
There are several reasons that a pool light, or spa light, might not be working:
The easiest thing to check is the GFCI plug and breaker. It is SO important to be sure that the GFCI feature on the plug associated with the pool light is working as designed. It is designed to cut the power when it senses a fault or electrical failure. We have also found that at times, depending on placement of the plug, they can trip from outside influences. Check those first.
When we find out that a bulb is bad, we will always replace the gasket during the bulb replacement.
Switches and relays are for the most part, a relatively common repair. There have been times that these types of repairs can be caused by a separate issue that must be dealt with for safe pool light operation.
Water and the inside of light fixtures are a bad combination. This will usually lead to complete replacement of the fixture and wiring. Generally speaking, the older the fixture, the larger chance of a leak from the gasket. Water can also enter the fixture from the sealed area where the wire enters the back or side. We feel that once water has been inside the fixture, it should be replaced for safety reasons.
There are now white, as well as color changing LED pool lights.
Fortunately, the vast majority of the internal parts of DE filters and pool cartridge filters are still made and available. That being said, a number of the outer bodies are not made anymore, especially older stainless steel bodies. We believe that if we can replace bulkhead fittings, grids or cartridges to extend the life of the filter, then we should.
Possible times when the pool filter needs to be replaced:
As described in the pool cleaner maintenance section, most cleaners can easily be repaired. Some pool cleaner repairs are as simple as replacing a debris bag. Others may require a complete rebuild of the pool cleaner drive train assembly. We have come across some pool cleaners that would cost more to repair than to replace. If this is the case, we would be happy to provide an estimate for replacement.

Technology drastically changed pool controls within a few decades. There are now options to program and control a pool’s features from a smart phone app. When broken down, there are only a few issues to repair on an automation system:
There are a number of pools that are set up with a very simple timer control. When these fail, it is usually repaired with a simple replacement of the timer mechanism.
It is important for the valves associated with the water flow to be working correctly. Types of valves:

If you have a pool leak, it likely originates with the skimmer. As the pool deck expands and contracts due to temperature changes, the seal at the skimmer throat breaks, causing a leak.
When pool filter pressure is low this indicates a flow problem before the pump. The basket may be full of debris or the debris made it’s way past the basket and into the impeller. A stuck skimmer flap, plugged valves, low water or full skimmer baskets can also restrict water flow to the pump and cause low pressure.
