Repair leaks and stop preventable damage
It’s not uncommon for solar panels to spring a leak. To prevent damage from affecting the solar heating collector on your roof, contact the qualified professionals at NCS Pool Heating to ensure any leaks are expertly repaired fast and effectively.
Common Solar Pool Heater Repair Issues
If your solar pool heating isn’t performing as it should, it may be experiencing one of these typical issues. Contact our team for a comprehensive inspection and reliable swimming pool solar repairs.
Leaks
General wear and tear can lead to pinhole leaks, broken manifolds and tears in your pool heating system. These are usually caused by high pressure or loose fittings.
Ignoring leaks can result in costly repairs. The skilled team at NCS can assess your system, identify any weak spots or leaks and fix them with precision, ensuring your solar heating doesn’t end up with major issues.
Broken solar panels
While solar panels are tough, they’re not invincible. Debris such as branches, rocks and even hail can cause damage that disrupts heat circulation. Small cracks can lead to water damage and leave your system struggling.
Wrong running schedule
Not all repair concerns with solar panels are mechanical. Timing issues can cause your system to run inefficiently. Correctly running solar heating systems will operate for at least five to six hours, ideally during the sunniest part of the day. If your system isn’t running when the sun is at its peak, you’re likely not using your solar heating to its full potential.
Suboptimal settings
If your pool heating system controls are misconfigured, it could be underperforming. Always ensure the auto control on your solar pool heating is set to the correct settings for optimal operation.
Flow issues
Strange noises or flow issues? These can be a sign of blockages, pump problems or a clogged basket. If you’re struggling to pinpoint the source of your issue, NCS can help you with your solar pool heater repair by troubleshooting your problem and getting your system back on track.
Damaged cells
The cells in your solar panels are the powerhouse behind converting sunlight into heat. Over time, individual cells can become damaged, reducing your system’s ability to keep your pool warm. Not always a simple fix, the experts at NCS can undertake a thorough assessment of your panels and get them working as good as new.

FAQs
With the right care, solar pool heating can keep your water warm for 20 to 25 years. Longevity depends on the model, use regularity and environmental conditions.
Having your system serviced annually is a great way to ensure your equipment runs smoothly year after year. NCS Pool Heating offers maintenance services and high-quality repairs that can ensure your solar pool heating keeps your water warm for decades to come. Contact us today to find out more.
How often you’ll need to replace your system depends on a variety of factors, including system type, use regularity, maintenance and ongoing upkeep and environmental factors.
However, solar pool heating is often repairable, sparing you the expense of frequent replacements. Having regular professional maintenance checks can help detect wearing parts sooner, saving you costly repairs and extending the life of your system. Most solar pool heating also comes with warranties, offering extra protection and longevity.
Yes, they do. Regular upkeep is essential to keep your solar pool heating running efficiently and to extend its lifespan. Routine maintenance not only boosts energy efficiency but also helps ensure your system continues to perform at its best.
Following the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations and scheduling professional inspections when needed are key to keeping your heater in top condition.
There are a number of essential but simple steps typically involved in solar pool maintenance that can help keep your system running efficiently, reduce energy costs and avoid the need for major repairs.
- Solar collector cleaning: Over time, dust, leaves and other debris can settle on the solar collector, reducing the equipment’s ability to absorb sunlight. Cleaning the collector regularly helps maintain efficiency and ensures your pool is always heated properly.
- Water circulation checks: Proper water flow is critical to ensure even heating of your pool. It’s important to regularly inspect the valves, pumps and pipes to ensure water is circulating through the system without any blockages or issues.
- Leak and damage inspections: Pipes, joints and valves can all develop cracks and leaks over time. Regular inspections help identify any damage or potential risk of damage early, preventing larger and more expensive problems.
- System pressure monitoring: Your system’s pressure levels need to be within an optimal range for efficient operation. Checking pressure gauges regularly ensures your system isn’t overworking or underperforming.
- System flushing: It is common for debris to build up inside the system, potentially reducing its efficiency. Flushing the system periodically removes any blockages or dirt, allowing the heating to always run effectively.
- Pump optimisation: The pool pump is a vital part of your solar heating system, as it circulates the water through the panels to warm your pool. Ensuring your pump is working correctly is critical to keeping your system operating efficiently.
Adjusting the pump’s settings can help to improve energy use and ensure your water is always heated evenly.
Annual solar heating system services are usually quick and straightforward, with most minor issues fixed on the spot during the inspection.
If more serious issues are found during the service, such as broken parts or major wear and tear, this can cause the repairs to take longer, especially if new parts need to be ordered.
We advise scheduling your annual service during the winter months when your pools tend to be in less use, helping you avoid any downtime during the warmer parts of the year.
Our annual solar pool heating services cover a number of important repair and maintenance tasks, including:
- Solar heater repair
- Fixing broken pipes and valves
- Sealing leaking joints
We also handle repairs and replacements of essential pool equipment, including:
- Filtration systems
- Pool pumps
- Chlorinators
- Pool lighting
In most cases, our team can have your solar pool heating up and running within an hour or two.

CUSTOMER testimonials
I recently had a 13kw Electric Inverter Pool Heater installed by Shane and Nick. Shane came out and assessed my site, provided me with various options to suit my pool and provided a competitive quote. The install was completed on a Saturday morning which included running some new pipes under the pavers so the heater could be installed at a more convenient location as we didn't have too much space where the pump is located. They also went that extra step and moved my outlet pipe to make it much more convenient for me at no extra charge or inconvenience to them. The whole process from start to finish was seamless, stress free and the heater is working great. Lara in the office took care of all the paperwork and payments and was a pleasure to deal with. If you need pool heating i would not hesitate in recommending NCS and will definitely use them again if ever required.
I have nothing but good things to say about NCS Pool Heating. Rob was very friendly and professional and the young bloke who installed it actually went above and beyond by replacing two roof tiles when installing the solar heating. Terrific company to deal with and more than happy to recommend.
NCS Pool Heating did a brilliant job! They were very flexible and worked around my schedule to fit me in. Shane was extremely professional, kind and always available to answer my questions. My son can now enjoy swimming all year. Thank you, NCS pool Heating.
Exceptional service and communication. NCS gave me a wonderful deal on my new super-efficient inverter heat pump, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with it!
A great customer-focused company. All staff I dealt with met all of my needs, and a job well done.
Very professional from quote to final installation. Very competitive price. Recommend.
Just wanted to thank all the team NCS Pool Heating for being so professional. Right from my initial contact with NCS, everyone was very helpful and extremely courteous. The boys that came to fit my pool were prompt, tidy and just easy to talk to, nothing was a problem. I have found this company amazing to work with; I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend NCS Pool Heating to anyone who needs any assistance with their pool. Once again thank you, team.
Thank you, Rob, Shane and Tom from NCS for a great pool heating installation especially with challenging piping areas and the height and steepness of the roof! Very nice team with great care factor! Pool nice and warm now with no work required. With appreciation, Max.
NCS was great right from the quote through to completion of the work. The installers were fast, replacing our heating in a morning, made sure everything was working as it should, & left the site spotless. Would definitely recommend NCS Pool Heating.
I can 100% recommend this company. All aspects of my experience were fantastic. The attention to detail regarding panel placement and running of pipes etc. was perfect, and nothing was a hassle. Thanks so much for everything
Rob and the team provided timely and excellent service. Very happy with the outcome and the kids love the warm pool. Service was great, and the team are very professional.
I recently purchased solar heating a saltwater filter, salt chlorinator and pool blanket from NCS pool heating. The service was efficient, fast and professional. Tradespeople cleaned up after themselves, and we found the service fantastic, trouble-free and are thrilled with the result of the heater. In fact, we had to switch it off as the water became too hot !b A great experience from this company. Highly recommended.
We are thrilled with our Solar heating, installed by NCS. They were professional, well priced, and nothing was too much trouble. When we noticed that the location of some of the plumbing meant it was harder to access parts of our pool pump, they came back the next day and reconfigured the whole thing for us. They even came back a year later to move some pipes for us as we were installing a new deck. They were great to deal with, the product is top-notch, and we couldn’t be happier. Definitely recommended.
Rob & the team did a fantastic job on my Uncle's solar pool heating system. Very professional, reasonably priced and the job was completed well within the agreed timeframe. Would definitely recommend these guys.
I liked the fact NCS gave me alternatives and the price of these alternatives once I had told them what the problem was. I also liked the fact they had things in stock, and the job could be done in a timely manner. I would have no hesitation in dealing with them again.
We had NCS solar installed at our home eight years ago. We have never had a problem with any of the equipment, and our kids enjoy swimming in a warm pool from the start of September! Recently we had NCS out for a maintenance call, and Grant and Shane were fantastic. They arrived when they said they would, were polite and got the job done with no fuss and no mess left. We'd definitely recommend the team to anyone.
Your crew were very professional and “did you proud”. Please convey my thanks to them.
Great service, product and staff!
Thank you for sending such a great team to work on my pool heating. I could not fault them. Great workmanship, great working ethics and very professional in all the aspects of customer service. We would have no problem in advocating your services to others Please forward on to the boys my wife’s and my appreciation. You have a great business and team. Thanks again.
...Jack has been amazing over the entire process, responding to all my emails with clear and detailed information.
NCS Pool Heating did a magnificent job of installing our new solar panels and plumbing, with great efficiency and expertise. They used the highest quality materials to protect against attack from our local cockatoo population and great expertise to ensure that the heating system works exactly as promised. It is so easy to operate and has achieved very accurate temperature regulation. I am in the pool every day now from early October, an extra two months of enjoyment. THANK YOU!
Fabulous service, responsive, excellent to deal with!
Very happy with the service and products supplied. I have been using NCS for over 9 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else for our pool heating needs.
Just a quick line to say how nice it's been dealing with you all. The office staff were very pleasant and contactable and kept us regularly updated. Dave the sparky was very helpful, and Nick was also great. Good work, team!

We're absolutely loving be able to swim in winter with our new NCS 24 Premier Series heat pump. From start to finish they were great to deal with. Zero issues. Highly recommend!
What a pleasure it has been to deal with NCS Pool Heating on the installation of our pool heating. From whoa to go the experience has been excellent. The company has been efficient, reliable and a delight to work with. Plus the 24 month warranty for the Premier Series Heat Pumps gives us lots of comfort. The installation went very smoothly. The black heat condenser units blend well into our garden area. And, the pool temperature is perfect. A quick survey of eight of our residents resulted in a 100% endorsement. And, to quote one resident, “I’ve only waited 40 years for this!” SO, GOOD ON YOU NCS!
NCS did a fantastic job installing our solar pool heating system and heat pump for the spa. It’s all now controlled on the Aquatek App which works brilliantly. Shane made sure everything worked perfectly promptly following up on any of my questions along the way. Highly recommended.
Great friendly service. Quality job and no hassles. Highly recommend NCS Pool Heating to look after your pool needs.
Great experience with NCS Pool Heating. Shane did a site visit and answered all my questions. Nick completed the install with minimal fuss. The heat pump works great and being able to control everything via the app is a bonus.
NCS Pool Heating replaced our roof-top absorber and plumbing after a roof repair. The technician was very professional, going above and beyond to diagnose and repair damage to pipes caused by other plumbers. Our system is now reinstated and working well at significantly less cost than all other quotes, thank you.
