☀️Pool Heater in the Summer? Why Year-Round Maintenance Matters.
When it’s 100 degrees outside, the last thing on your mind is your pool heater. But believe it or not, summer is the perfect time to give it some love. Just like any other piece of equipment, your pool heater needs regular care, even when you’re not using it.
At Swim Solutions, we’ve seen too many homeowners caught off guard when the first cool front hits and their heater fails to fire up. Here’s why year-round maintenance matters, and how staying ahead can save you stress, time, and money.
🔧 Your Pool Heater Works Hard, Even When It's Off
Even if you haven’t turned your heater on in months, internal parts are still exposed to moisture, heat, and debris. Over time, corrosion, calcium buildup, or critters nesting inside can lead to:
Ignition issues
Poor efficiency
Rust and leaks
Complete failure
Routine inspections ensure we catch those issues before you need the heat.
💸 Avoid Costly Repairs (and Freezing Swims)
By keeping your pool heater serviced throughout the year, you:
Extend its lifespan
Improve energy efficiency
Prevent surprise breakdowns
Get peak performance the moment temps drop
Trust us, the last thing you want is an emergency repair when fall arrives and your pool party turns into a polar plunge.
🧼 Seasonal Shifts = Maintenance Opportunities
Summers in Texas bring extreme heat, which can put stress on all pool equipment, not just pumps and filters. During regular summer checkups, we:
Clear debris from heater vents
Inspect and clean burners
Check wiring and gas lines
Ensure pilot lights and thermostats are functioning properly
It’s a quick check with big benefits.
