Our most common solar pool repair requests

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

Over time, general use 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 could result in costly repairs, especially if they involve your roof—often a sign of a burst pipe. Our skilled team will quickly identify any weak spots or leaks and fix them with precision.

Broken solar panels

Your solar panels are tough but not invincible. Debris like branches, rocks, or even hail can cause damage that disrupts heat circulation. Even small cracks can lead to water damage, leaving the system struggling to function.

Wrong running schedule

Sometimes, the problem isn’t a mechanical issue that demands solar pool heating repair—it’s timing. Your solar system needs to run for at least five to six hours a day, ideally during the sunniest part of the day.

If your system isn’t running when the sun is at its peak, you won’t get the full benefit of solar heating. For east-facing systems, slightly earlier hours might be more effective.

Suboptimal settings

If your pool heating system controls are misconfigured, it could be underperforming. Make sure 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 signal blockages, pump problems, or a clogged basket. If you can’t figure out what’s causing the issue, we’re here to help troubleshoot and get your solar pool heating back on track.

Damaged cells

The cells in your solar panels are the powerhouse behind converting sunlight into heat. Over time, individual cells can get damaged, reducing the solar heating’s ability to keep your pool warm. Since cell damage can be tricky to fix, it’s best to bring in the pros for a thorough assessment.

Solar pool heating is often repairable, sparing you the expense of frequent replacements. How often you’ll need to replace yours depends on a mix of factors, including the type of system, how often it’s used, how well it’s maintained, and the environment it operates in.

Yes. Regular upkeep is essential to keep your solar pool heating running efficiently and extend its lifespan. Routine maintenance not only boosts energy efficiency but also helps ensure the system performs at its best over time.

Following the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations and scheduling professional inspections when needed are key steps to keeping your heater in top condition.

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your solar pool heating functioning efficiently and prolong its lifespan. Here’s what solar pool maintenance typically includes:

  • Solar collector cleaning: Over time, dust, leaves, and other debris can settle on the solar collector, reducing their ability to absorb sunlight. Cleaning the collector regularly helps maintain their efficiency and ensures your pool is heated properly.
  • Checking water circulation: Proper water flow is critical for even heating. Maintenance involves inspecting the valves, pumps, and pipes to ensure water is circulating through the system without any blockages or issues.
  • Leak and damage inspections: Pipes, joints, or valves can develop leaks or cracks over time. Regular inspections help identify any leaks or damage early, preventing larger and more expensive problems.
  • Monitoring system pressure: The system’s pressure levels need to be within the optimal range for efficient operation. Checking pressure gauges regularly ensures your system isn’t overworking or underperforming.
  • System flushing: Debris can build up inside the system, potentially reducing its efficiency. Flushing the system periodically removes any blockages or dirt, allowing the heating to run more effectively.
  • Pump optimisation: The pool pump circulates water through the solar panels, so ensuring it’s operating efficiently is key. Adjusting the pump’s settings can improve energy use and ensure your pool is heated evenly.

By following these essential maintenance steps, you can keep your solar pool heating system running smoothly, reduce energy costs, and avoid the need for major repairs.

Annual pool heating services are usually quick and straight forward, with most minor issues fixed on the spot during the inspection.

That said, if more serious problems pop up during solar pool heater maintenance —like broken parts or significant wear and tear—repairs could take a bit longer, especially if specific parts need to be ordered. This might add a few days to the process.
