When performing regular solar pool heater maintenance, an array of things needs to be looked at, to make your pool’s heating system operate at its peak:
1. FINE-TUNING HEAT PUMP SETTINGS
An inadequately maintained pool heat pump can lose effectiveness in transmitting heat into the water. Although heat pumps are very resourceful devices; however, if they don’t operate at their best all the time then their efficiencies can be lost.
The heat pump can be inspected and tweaked if required as part of the routine solar pool heating maintenance.
2. TEMPERATURE GAUGE

3. THE CONDITION OF THE SOLAR PANELS

If the water flow valves aren’t working fittingly, your solar heating system may not sufficiently heat water consistently.
