☀️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.
