Service heater
Pool Heater Service is something all pool owners will need at one time or another for the life of their pool. There are a few different reasons why your pool heater may not be heating your pool anymore. Sometimes pool heaters are smart enough to tell you why or lead you down a path to expose the culprit.
-When your pool heater says Service heater this usually means the culprit has to do with the heater itself or one of the components inside of the heater. You could have a plugged or leaking tube sheet, a bad sensor, gas valve or PWA. Insufficient gas supply to the heater could also cause the Service heater light to come on. Open the cabinet of the heater and inspect the tube sheet for leaks, obstructions and or sooting. Check inside the cabinet for any rodent damage as the inside of the cabinet is a favorite spot for rodents to setup their nests. Always check the inside of the cabinet before turning on the heater for the first time of the season.
Service system
-When your pool heater says Service system this usually means it has something to do with the pool equipment itself ie a plugged pool filter that needs rinsing or backwashing, a plugged skimmer or lint basket that requires cleaning, low water level in the pool that needs to be raised. These are all fairly simple things that a homeowner can check and rectify on their own.
