As summer comes to an end, heater season is fast approaching, have you tested your pool heater lately?
Let’s play out a common scenario that we see every year. The party is tomorrow but it’s gonna be a little cooler. Just fire up the pool heater early in the morning to heat the pool right? Not always. Too often we get that urgent call about a pool heater.
It is suggested to fire up and run your heater once a month for 30 minutes, even through the summer months. By doing this you clean out the cobwebs, clear out the rodents, and extend the life of the heater.
Cobwebs and Rodents? You Better Believe It! Bees Too
Your pool heater is an ideal space to build a nest or home, safe from other animals and the elements. We have opened up tons of heaters only to find bees flying out or rats scrambling away. Often times we find that a heater is not firing and the cause is spider webs in the gas orifices, blocking gas flow to the burners.
Each year as the weather starts to cool, homeowners all around start to fire up their pool/spa heaters and are left with frustration because their heater is not turning on or staying on. Don’t wait until the day or night of your pool/spa party to find this out. We recommend testing the functionality of your pool/spa heater for 30 minutes once a month year round.
